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: Brass
The brass version is known for its bright, golden appearance and excellent malleability. It’s more affordable and offers a brilliant, lustrous finish that remains attractive over time. Brass is also resistant to corrosion, making it ideal for both aesthetic appeal and practical use.
