Has anyone been taught that the thumb and little finger of the drawing hand MUST touch each other at all time during the draw?
My son is an experienced archer who has gone off to university. The club there insists that, regardless of previous experience or GNAS certificates, everyone must take and pass a beginners course. Part of the teaching on the course is that the thumb and little finger of the drawing hand must touch the whole time.
Is this something new as it seems to me to give a very unnatural (and uncomfortable) hand position.
