1: A thumb ring is a piece of jewellery designed to protect the thumb during Archery. This is a ring of horn, wood, ivory, metal, plastic, glass or stone which fits over the end of the thumb, coming to rest at the outer edge of the outer joint. A flat area extends from the ring to protect the pad of the thumb from the bowstring.
When drawing a bow using an Asiatic grip, the thumb is hooked around the bowstring just beneath the arrow and braced with the first finger. The bowstring rests against the inner pad of the archer's thumb. To protect the thumb, archers wear a thumb ring. The bowstring rests against the flat of the ring when the bow is drawn. This technique is often referred to as the "Mongolian Release" or the "Mongolian Draw". Today, thumb rings are used by archers practicing styles from Asia and some regions of northern Africa.

2: Thumb Ring
Historically, (the 1500s) wearing a thumb ring meant you were a doctor. Also, centuries ago, women would wear their husbands' wedding rings on their thumbs when they left for battle or died.
To wear a thumb ring on the left hand is a reflection on the subconscious or your instincts, beliefs, and basic attitudes.
To wear a thumb ring on the right is a focus on the conscious, reflecting logic, awareness, and the material world.
Thumb rings can and are worn by both men and women.
More recently to wear a thumb ring on the right indicates that you are into alternate sex relations.

I thought it mean guys were gay when they had an earring on the right side. Now you have me completely confused with the whole ring on the thumb issue. What about wearing toe rings? Wouldn't that make them more gay? Why do you need to know this? Are you planning on wearing a thumb ring or are you going to be gay soon?

Well I wear a thumb ring and the only meaning it has for me is that I like it and I like the way it looks. To me it is merely jewellery, nothing more. If there is a meaning to it, I am unaware of what it may be.

I've heard that anyone who wears a ring (band) on their thumb it symbolizes that they are super freaky or open-minded (sexually). :o)
