Warbow, the khan is not meant for thumbring draw!!!! No way! It's meant for traditional archery 3 finger or 2 finger to be shot with fingers off the shelf not to be used in any thumbring draws past 29 or so inches! Why would you even try that?? You are lucky the bow didn't break on you my friend, very lucky... It is a western style compact recurve in the traditional shape/look of a horn/horse bow, meant to be shot off the rest with fingers. Mine starts to stack around 30" though when I pulled back a bit further from my 29" fingers draw. I have gotten very accurate with it and it is a fun bow to shoot. It was not designed to be shot with thumbring, their KTB which you know is meant for thumbing draw. Consider yourself lucky you did not get hurt. It was like trying to do a thumbing draw on a regular recurve bow, of course it will break.

Upon closer inspection of the lower limb, I found a slim and narrow piece of fiberglass or wood that is de-laminated or splintered off. I immediately unstrung the Khan. Not a good start . . .
