thumb & pinky

[pHz]

when you draw and anchor / reference where do your thumb and pinky go ?

(photo / drawing would be helpful if possible - as would info on your tab as this might affect hand position)

Ok, then I have to show a really ugly shooting pic of me to show.
My pinky finger is just relaxed "lying" under the rest of the fingers and my thunb is pressed against my throat.



EDIT: I just noticed that my point finger is very crooked when i shot lolololol

I try to keep my thumb and little finger simply relaxed - the thumb is hidden, resting in the undergrowth behind th eindex finger, but my little finger just curls, without effort.

My thumb is folded away so the tip is near the first joint of the index finger. I touch the tip of my little finger against the sternocleidomastoideus, as an additional reference point.

My little finger just makes contact with the string and I keep my thumb straight just under the platform this keeps the hand more relaxed than curling fingers around.

Look at the design of The Somar Saker tabs.

i have a saker and a joomong - thats partly what prompted this thread after i changed the configuration of mine because my hand was tensing

Actually, its not :P
f i'm not mistaken its either the shirt because of the wind or its because I am very thin so I have very pointy shoulders.

When I used the old A&F I used to fold over the pinkie and rest the tip of the thumb on the pinkie nail. The knuckle of the thumb would then touch the laryngeal notch at full draw.

Now I use the saker the thumb runs alongside the index finger and the pinkie curls loosely around the trigger. You have to be careful not to pull the trigger as this causes you to shoot high
