Thank you for viewing my auction. I have been collecting for almost 50 years and purchased all my items from the most reputable sources but mostly at auction in London. The majority of purchases were made in the 1960's-80's when good things were available on a regular basis. I will be selling over 1000 items in the next few months so be sure to bookmark the Sunnytampa seller page as I will be adding rare and interesting items on a regular basis. If you are interested in bidding on multiple items, please note that I will combine shipping and make it point to never profit from shipping. Read our feedback and bid with confidence. Chinese archers used a long heavy bow with long arrows which required great strength and skill. The accuracy of an shot is due in large part to the skill of the archer in releasing the nock without altering the aim of the arrow. Many cultures dealt with that problem by using archer's rings which fit on the thumb and provide a hard trigger like surface for the bow string to slide off rather than the fleshy surface of the thumb. (Unlike European archers, most eastern bowmen release with the thumb and not the fingers.)
