With a Mediterranean grip, what do you do with your thumb? Just tuck it out of the way somewhere?

I think mine usually just sticks up.

Mine sticks up, tucking it away feels awkward for me.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Stick it in your mouth and bite down.  That way you can hold full draw as the deer is walking in from across the field.  Kinda like using a primitive release.
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.
