It doesnt have to be that way.
One of my club members Harold (yes that is his name and no this isnt a historical joke) shoots longbow pretty well. He shoots with an open bow hand. The leather grip on his bow is laced together with a leather thong, the loose ends of which he loops round his thumb and first finger. This allows him the open hand whilst retaining the bow.
