back in the days when the English used longbows the finger was necessary to " draw " the bow and shoot the arrow. when the French were fighting the English they would cut this finger off so the archer could no longer " draw " his bow and shoot arrows. the one finger salute became a sign that " I still have my finger and can still fight. "
