Shank choice:
More information about the scissors can be found on this page Bitless Shanks How a Hackamore Acts:
A hackamore works as follows; the shanks tilt backward and upwards through the pressure of the reins. This movement creates downward and backward pressure on the nose. The chin strap engages and then puts pressure on the chin. Via the cheekpieces, there is pressure behind the horse's ears. The amount of pressure depends on the length of the shanks and the action of the rider's hand.
