left index finger tchnique

With the Korean archer on the bottom, the left hand (bow hand) index finger does absolutely nothing worth noting. It is just wrapped around the bow.

There are schools of shooting (e.g. some Manchu) that favoured pointing to the target with the forefinger.

To create a better position of the arm, I favour pointing to root of the bow-hand thumb toward the target.

sorry stephen, is the" root of the bow-hand thumb" same means to "the root of thumb which hand hold the bow"?

i'm suprise use my left hand pointing to the target, i'm not aim target and my hand under my shoulder more , but when i aim along my forefinger/thumb/the midline of the forfinger and thumb , my pointing just aiming well, it is all man 's instinct?

sorry stephen, is the" root of the bow-hand thumb" same means to "the root of thumb which hand hold the bow"?

Yes. 持弓手大拇指指根向箭靶伸出。 左大拇指、左肘、左肩、右肩、右肘一条线水平谓《五平》。
