Chinese bowyer keeps ancient archery-inspired craftsmanship alive

[@SilverReBangBang]

Very cool, he looks like a martial arts master too xD

[@Soviless99]

id say he is one :)

[@solidorsharp3091]

👏 🎉 ❤ 🏹 🐉 keep history alive 🫡 thank you ! 🎯

[@jedgurley]

I'd rather buy a traditional bow crafted by hand than most modern bows. So glad they kept their culture alive.

[@tonymaurice4157]

I agree.. but they are twice the amount and materials for traditional bows take months to cure and are getting harder to find

[@suzzieblack4031]

Good idea!

[@yengvue2735]

I think he just has his bow strung for the video. Leaving your bows strung like that for 30 mins will slowly deteriorate the bow

[@bz6587]

wait, 28000 years? I think he meant to say 2800.

[@jackalexander3246]

BZ Zhao Well...I believe he took the primitive age in account.

[@TheKiddy3]

@@jackalexander3246 I know of a complete bow found in Zealand in a bog so preserved from 10,000 years ago

[@nakuljohri1]

Whats the price of these bows?

[@nakuljohri1]

Thanks would love to know! ☺️

make wood are you kidding me???

[@velelimaka9040]

glad Chinese locals didn't forget traditional after cultural revolution

[@EverythingDIY-sh8oj]

Many were forgotten or lost the few living martial artists who have inherited the arts are the last of their line.

I just ordered 1 from his website.

[@peekaboopeekaboo1165]

Did your friend bought it online or went their in person?

[@Archer-op9cp]

Can`t you see how light its looks and how overbuilt is it? There`s a plenty of better bowyers than this guy all over around...

[@jake4194]

How is the bow??

[@hiimryan2388]

@@Archer-op9cp what? It's almost like as if different cultures have different types of bows

[@nalalin8835]

they have a website?

[@mmmijuo5407]

that is not traditional chines bow making. Chines traditional skills have disapeared after Cultural Revolution. Chinese gone to Turky, Korea. and Learned from them.

[@openyoureyes3308]

Mongolians made better bows

[@imchink]

Mongolians stopped to make bows.. idiot

[@dongf2618]

No they didn't. Records always said the nomadic bows were weaker and especially if those bows were used on horses the poundage is a lot weaker.

[@HandsomeMonkey-King]

It went extinct

[@kenken8765]

But Manchus made better bows than Mongolians. What he's making here is a Manchu style bow.

[@HandsomeMonkey-King]

@@kenken8765 Manchu bows were powerful but bigger. The extinct mongol bow was quite compact but powerful
