If you’re seeking a short, compact thumb ring perfect for fast shooting yet comfortable even with heavier draw weights, the Lantern from Vermil is your answer.
Inspired by Mughal and Ottoman thumb rings—renowned for their guardless style—Lantern combines that heritage with modern ergonomics. It distributes pressure evenly, so you pull without pain. The short lip allows free finger movement, making quick loading easier, while being long enough to prevent the string from striking your thumb. With a reinforced edge, it handles heavier draw weights effortlessly, distinguishing itself from other short, guardless rings on the market.
Compact, yet ready for heavier draw weights, this ring is perfect for experienced archers who use shallow to medium hooks, whether you’re practicing rapid shooting, horseback archery, or ground target shooting.
Material: Resin
The resin ring is the most affordable option, crafted from high-quality resin that beautifully mimics the appearance of Ivory. It offers the same rich, natural tones and is lightweight and budget-friendly. Additionally, it’s durable enough to stand up to draw weights of up to 40 pounds, making it a practical and attractive choice.
