Demonstrating Long Distance Technique

[@nair.127]

The video is 15 seconds long, you hold the draw at least 11 of that. Wow.

[@littlehorseyhorsey]

14 second video and more like 10 seconds holding rather than 11

[@EulianDax]

Dude it's crazy the strength he has to hold it 11 seconds. Incredible.

[@littlehorseyhorsey]

@@EulianDax Not really? It's 54#. Stallone was said to have draw and hold a 70# bow for a lil bit. And Justin Ma is amazing, he draws 128# bows though he weighs like 120 pounds. Pound for pound, pure skill.

@@littlehorseyhorsey Just let the man be amazed. Stop killing the beauty of being introduced to asiatic archery, it's wonderful to see new people amazed with it, and we should smile with them and encourage their amazement, not act like it's all normal and 'everyone can do it harhar'

[@MRmagnatron]

​@littlehorseyhorsey naw more like a 14.25972 second long video and he holds for 10.6291074 seconds.

This looks great! Where did the arrow hit on the target? What was the distance? I wish it was in HD to see more clearly.

[@prestonc5342]

Beautiful shot. Is that the Bowhunters Unlimited outdoor range?

[@TheWayofArchery]

Thanks. And yes, that is BHU.

[@SolidSnakeFPV]

Excellent!

[@muhammadhamizan457]

How do u aim? Do u have any reference for aiming

[@TheWayofArchery]

It's a split vision aim. Focal vision on target. Fuzzy vision on arrow and bow handle as a sanity check.

[@muhammadhamizan457]

@@TheWayofArchery thank u

[@lyndacrotty875]

Hi, i love your book. I have a question. When you aim, does the body of the arrow look like it form a straight line toward the target ?

[@TheWayofArchery]

There might be a little bit of an offset to the left or the right (depending on the bow and arrow pairing). You'd have to figure that out with experience (trying different arrow configs, getting your brain used to seeing the target/arrow/bow together).

No bowstring anchor? Why not?

[@rogonirr]

what's the technique again?

[@zenlot13]

I notice that in the way of archery Gao Ying talks about canting the bow but when you shoot I don't see much tilting if any at all

[@jtma04]

zenlot13 There is canting.

[@zenlot13]

@@jtma04 I do see that now. It's just not as dramatic as the example in the book

[@BibtheChib]

@@zenlot13 This is the sort of angle I film myself from, maybe a little lower. I've received similar comments about bow canting from others, but I do cant the bow more than it seems from the angle. It may just be this that's the issue.

[@agungprastio575]

Weigth arrow?

[@ILhamKambaa]

Lbs ???

It took a while for me to notice this was a short video that just kept repeating... I thought, "Wow... This guy is putting shot after shot into the target." Ha! My bad. It's interesting (at least in my opinion) that (by western archery techniques) the Chinese (and I'm guessing some other Asian) archers hold the business end of the arrow on the "wrong" side of the bow (On the right side of the bow for right-handed shooters, instead of on the left side, as western archers do.) Also the draw hand technique is so different from the western method, where no one would ever consider pulling with your thumb. I'll have to look up modern Chinese archery and see if they have switched to "the western methods" in modern competition. Anyway... Nice video.

[@preppmatic9543]

I hope I can give you some information on that topic. Of course you don't mean it that way, but it's not "the wrong side" of the bow, it's a technique developed for certain purposes. Usual advantages of the thumb draw are the speed in which you can shoot one arrow after another (there are quite a few videos of that on youtube already, most well-known probably Lars Andersen) and that you would not drop the arrow using thumb draw when being in motion. Disadvantages might be the longer learning curve compared to the Mediterrenean draw. Not sure if skilled archers' accuracy would be much different using different draws. One thing I am not sure about is, if the "Mediterrenean draw", what largely is used in "the west" is "THE western method". By which I mean, if it was the historical used technique in western and center Europe. Havent spent that much time on that research yet. :)

[@elmohead]

@@preppmatic9543 Left VS right side of arrow placement doesn't affect ROF in any significant way. The gatekeeper is the nocking speed and the poundage of the bow.

[@Finnv893]

Why? To feed your confirmation bias? Speaking of different ways, if you use modern recurve techniques to draw a heavy medieval English warbow , you can really hurt yourself.
