Thumb Rings by Vermil Archery

We are proud to collaborate with Vermil Archery (based in Thailand) to bring you the next generation of rings. Vermil resin rings are a great introductory ring available in 9 different sizes (please measure the dimensions of your thumb using calipers and consult the Vermil sizing charts below).

For those looking for a premium, long-lasting option, the Vermil Victory, Lotus II, and Classic made with various metal finishes including Brass, Bronze, and Silver+. Different sizes are available, though molds are slightly different, so please consult the size charts.

Finally, new to the line-up are the custom-sized Qing/Manchu cylindrical rings made from a durable biocomposite plastic.

Vermil Victory

The Victory is a 3rd-generation ring designed in collaboration with The Cinnabar Bow. Its lip is thinner than other models, allowing for more space between the string and the palm, as well as more coverage of your thumb pad. The Victory also has a pinch-free, two-pronged guard, which gives your thumb joint more room to bend and provides a more stable hold on the string (the string rests across the dimple, which mitigates unintentional up/down rolling).

Materials/Colors: Resin (Black, Ivory) Price (Resin): $15 per ring

Shipping: $7, small flat-rate box within USA; $9 to Canada
