The Lotus II ring is inspired by the design mentioned in the Ming Dynasty’s Gao Ying archery manuals. Historically, it was used in the Mughal Empire, the northern parts of China, and Central Asia.
The ring features a long-lipped, guardless structure that elegantly mirrors the shape of lotus petals, giving it its name. Its aggressive curve allows for a smooth and efficient release, while the long lips provide enhanced protection for the thumb. This makes the Lotus ring ideal for archers familiar with the medium hook method, seeking a smooth release and optimal thumb protection.
Material Options:
Natural Padauk Wood
The Padauk wood version stands out with its rich reddish color and natural feel. Its unique grain patterns make every piece one of a kind. Lighter than resin rings, it offers an organic, comfortable touch. Ideal for draw weights up to 40 pounds, it’s perfect for archers who value both aesthetic beauty and a lightweight, natural feel.
Resin-Reinforced Padauk Wood
In this version, we infuse resin into the wood, filling any gaps and resulting in a stronger, more flexible thumb ring. This enhanced construction can withstand higher draw weights, up to 50 pounds. While it is slightly less aromatic than pure wood, it offers increased durability and strength.
