I knew that European archers use fingers wrapped around the string to draw, with the arrow held in place between the fingers, and gloves to protect the fingers from the release of the bow string. I didn't know that Asian archery developed a completely different style, using the thumb to draw, and protecting the thumb from the string with a ring.
