I am no expert, whatever, in archery or hunting with bows. That being said, I did a little research and learned that you can have a steadier aim and hold the bow drawn longer than most people who do not use a thumb ring.
I could pull 74 lbs. at a 31-inch draw and still hold it longer than most people can hold their breath (I’m 60 years old). Now, my sons, wife, and hunting buddy all shoot with a thumb ring.
The drawback is that the thumb ring needs to be fitted to each user because everyone’s thumb is a different size. It takes about a week to get used to this type of release.
Check out how to make one and learn more about a thumb ring.
