How to shoot a bow while riding a horse

different from American archery or Western archery in the horseback field end up using our thumbs for drawing normally you use three fingers we call it the Mediterranean draw back to there release and then release yeah this you actually form like an L like that you bend it inwards the string sits on the back side of the Ring the string sits just on the inside like so take that pointer finger put it right on the thumbnail straight back and when you release just let those two fingers go why is it different so when you're riding if say you were going to be riding and shooting Mediterranean you would have to use this finger to stabilize that Arrow to keep it from going anywhere if you're standing you don't have to worry about it yeah but when you're bouncing and riding you have to worry about it instead of being on the knuckle side they would be on the thumb side and what that does is when your fingers are locked in pushes up against the side of the arrow now I don't have to touch the arrow at all
