Thumb release, different finger release techniques?

By

So I started archery via internet learning/online chat with a professional archery shop until my local club is allowed to reopen. I have a 66" Core Jet/Shift 22# Recurve Bow and shoot with a wrist release aid. The reason I have been using a release aid is because I suffered a crush injury to the middle finger on my release hand years ago, the result is the bone broke down the middle from the tip down past the first joint, and healed that way, as well as nerve damage and scar tissue, bending the top of that finger is painful and the tip very sensitive, and the finger also bends 10° to the right. I also have muscle weakness in that finger and my index finger. I would really like to finger release but the regular way it's done is not possible, are there any other techniques I could try? I'm aware of thumb release but thumb rings do not fit my tiny hands, I would really like to try it with a glove but can't find any anywhere other than the Kaya Shooting glove KTB in the clearance section of Merlin Archery (left handed and too big), anyone know where else I can find gloves like these? I'm based in the UK.

Thanks everyone!

Shibuya vs Axcel vs other top end sights?

By
So my budget has increased and i decided i'm going for a top-level sight for the target style recurve i'm building. It seems that Shibuya and Axcel are the top end, so for anyone who has experience with either one of them, or preferably both, could you tell me the differences, pros and cons, and which one is the best value? i'm planning on buying the most expensive, so the Axcel Achieve XP - Recurve or the Shibuya Ultima RC PRO Carbon Sight . If there's any other top end sights you think are better, let me know. I want this to be the first and last sight that i ever buy, and price doesn't really matter. Another question, on the Shibuya there's an option for "Single mount" and "Double mount." What do those mean? And lastly, is the sight aperture on either of the sights suitable, or is there better after-market apertures that are better? I'm sort of thinking that is something I should be buying from my local shop so i can actually te...

Is there any reason mediterranean and slavic draw shoot from opposite sides of the bow

By
When the release imparts the same twist on the string? It was my understanding that mediterranean draw has the arrow on the side opposite of the bow of the draw hand because of the twist imparted on the string affecting the arrow on release but that should mean that slavic draw would suffer from that problem. Am I missing something with this? Shouldn't that mean you could use a mediterranean draw on the same side of the bow as the draw hand and not have issues?
