I felt no physical or emotional pain. I have shit bows that occasionally dry fire and also smack things/people with, and give no fucks. As they are cheap, old, free, or garbage in some way. Training gear is always made for damage from practice, learning, new people, and mistakes. If you're handing a beginner stuff that you don't want damaged then that is your mistake. It should also be called dry loosing because dry firing with firearms is something you want people to do to increase their firearms handling skills.

As a Hungarian, and a medieval re-enactor, I find this video pretty good. But, there is a thing i would like to talk about. The myth that they've put the meat under their saddles is true, but they did not eat it afterwards. They've only put it there so that the saddle doesn't do any harm to the horses back. Because yep, on a long ride, which they usually did, the saddle itself can deal some damage on the horses back.

as a turk I have to say that the information you have given is completely wrong. because we still do it. and it is very tasty. it is called pastırma (pressing) . Turks ( and of course their immediate neighbors, the Mongols ) had two sources of food during their long horse journeys. one was the "pastirma" on the horse's back and the second was the blood drawn from the horse's neck with a reed. The latter was practiced only by the horsemen who were the messengers of news. because they had no chance to stop, to take a break. but pastırma is still probably the most delicious fermented meat invention of the Turks. I should remind you that it is a much older tradition than when Hungarians were considered "Hun Turks". keyword: bastuma, pastırma, kastamonu pastırması

It is easier to construct, easier to maintain, and does not rapidly degrade in humid climates.

1. The Turks and Tatars knew that keeping a bow in a dry area for two days would allow the glue to strengthen again. 2. Hungarian tribes (Magyars) pillaged Europe during the 11th century and had no issue with it. 3. The Ottomans, Mongols, Tatars, Magyars, Kumans, Kipchaks, Avars, Bulgars and Pechenegs all successfully invaded Europe with the bow and arrow, and built empires there. 4. Genghis Khan didn't invade India. He died in 1280. His sons invaded India, and they sure did conquer it. They are called the Mughals. 5. Other steppe people did invade India using the recurve composite bow and arrow. They are called: the Ghorids, Tughluq, Delhi Sultanate, Ghaznavids, Babur, Mughals, Khilji dynasty and the Shahi dynasties. Turkic people ruled India for more than a thousand years. And I'm not mentioning the White Hunks (Ak Hun) or Xionites or Alchon Huns.

To say that the bows were made and used in their respective countries due to tradition is not historically true. The European longbow was made from wood to survive the cooler damp conditions of the general climate of countries such as England. The Mongol or Turkish style bows were made from glued sinew and horn which survived well in the dryer conditions of those countries. They could not survive the moisture of the more northern countries (they literally fell apart) and likewise the wooden longbows dried out and soon broke in the hotter drier countries such as Turkey. I am sure that available materials also had a lot to do with it and a longbow could be made in a couple of days, whereas the Turkish style bows took months to make due to the glued lamination process. Everything I have said here is mentioned in books on the subject. Also the record for distance with a normally strung bow is held by an an English war bow: and is 412 metres.

you pretty much got it, also heavier bows obviously hold more tension and when dry-fired the bow string (even seen in this video) will often come loose or detach completely, and when you have a hard string whipping back at you with up to 100lbs of force (mainly in reference to traditional wooden bows), its a scar and a lost eye waiting to happen. I've read of instances where bow limbs actually snap, causing irrepairable damage to the bow and increasing bodily risk.

Okay hold on dude, the english longbow and a mongol recurve bow have a LOT more differences than just tradition. An english Longbow is a simple bow, it is constructed from a single piece of wood and gets its strength from the long draw. It has almost the same draw length as the arrows shot from the mongol bow. It was designed for mass volley fire from foot and to be easily produced. It fired large arrows and could contend with heavily mounted cavalry by killing the horse, piercing the armor, or simply landing in weak portions of the armor connections. The mongol recurve bow is a composite bow. It was made from many different materials by people who had to be experts in the craft. It was not easily replaceable and could not be mass produced. It's superior construction was it's benefit and downfall, higher performance at the expense of decreased production. It was also more fragile than the longbow, weather conditions can cause damage to a composite bow that would not affect a longbow. The recurve gave it a shorter draw length and it fired a much lighter, shorter arrow, both advantages for horseback archery. It was designed for accurate and aimed fire from horseback with skilled shooters. It was intended for the armor of the 400's not the medieval period armor. The Mongols overcame many of the issues by having a culture built around the bow, every man had one and gave extreme care to its maintenance, when they conscripted an "army" all of their tribesman already had all the tools they needed and the experience to use them. The conscript armies of other nations would've destroyed their bows within a month. Longbows were sturdy, durable, and crude, they could handle most abuse and when they couldn't they could be easily replaced. Medieval accounts even describe the knots from tree being left on some of the longbows being rushed into service. The reason we think of longbows and see longbows is due to several reasons. You can certainly consider tradition to be one, but longbows, or more accurately their users, also had much more of an impact in the long run. The huns may have had more "territory" than the Romans but they held it for the life of one man. The longbow continued its domination of ranged combat in the European theater all the way into the gunpowder age. Outside of a historical context, the tale of Robin Hood popularized longbows and with plenty of customers clamoring for easily made longbows the producers were only too happy to oblige. Even without Robin Hood, simple bows make more sense to give to someone who wants to have a taste of archery without letting it consume their life. Furthermore, with the advent of modern compound bows and modern/less than modern crossbows, many of the performance advantages of a mongol bow can be surpassed. Mongol bows still remain a pricey, skilled craftsmanship item and are kept from the limelight more due to their nature than due to some sort of cultural bias.

Peter Griffin You do realize that I posted _"Prussia"_ which was the historical name of Germany and not in any significant way associated with anything resembling modern day Russia until the USSR absorbed a very small section a few decades prior to the entire state of Prussia being officially dissolved after WWII*; that section being a chunk of Poland, a snip of Lithuania, and what is now known as Kaliningrad Oblast which is seemingly still being held by RU because it's a good non-frozen trade port more than anything else. That's a long answer for what essentially amounts to "is joke." *the "official" dissolution of Prussia was more or less a formality since the German Revolution had pretty well taken care of it several years prior but, you could say, the paperwork never really got done

Anyone who has advocated it in the past has always said that the reason was because it was faster and just better somehow. I like this video because the Hun gave actual reasons for his methods, reasons that made sense. I will still draw on the left-hand side of the bow but I will also not be riding a horse.

Ok I know someone else probably already said this but here it goes. There are some advantages to the longbow. 1. It is one piece of solid wood and doesn't require glue or any other parts. It is extremely durable in all weather condition unlike the composite bow that is made from different parts. It's like the ak of the bow world. It's also alot cheaper to produce and if the mongols had yew wood thats what they would have used for there composite bows. The yew wood has 2 different types of wood in it that makes it good for bow making. The outside wood is good at being pulled and the inside part is good at being compressed.

There are multiple reasons why one would choose the long bow over a composite bow, as both have their advantages and disadvantages, and neither is "better" than the other. Perhaps each might be more suitable in certain situations, but both did their jobs as the needed and both proved to be very effective. The English could have used composite bows if they wanted to, they had the know how, as did pretty much every culture across Eurasia, the technology spanned across the entire continent, for well over a thousand years. But they do have their problems, one of which is de-lamination in wet or humid conditions, which would most certainly have been an issue for the English. Another is time they take to produce compared with the long bow (not taking into account the time it takes to season bow staves). A long bow can be tillered in hours, while a composite bow can take months for the glue to try. Basically the point is that the long bow, composite bow, Japanese yumi, they all did the jobs they were meant to do, and were effective at doing it, or else they wouldn't have been used for such long times. None are better than the other. It's childish to pretend otherwise.

Longbow is capable of a longer power-stroke, and smoother more consistent acceleration vector. It also takes less skill to make, and is easier to string, and un-string than a shorter bow of comparable weight. Longbow is neither superior, or inferior from a military standpoint. It's just different. FYI: I'm a Mongol bow fanboi, and even I know this.

You can use longbow on horseback...but dont expect you could draw and shoot easily as shorter composite bow. Actually here's what i think, composite bow actually have both longbow and short bow design for each culture. Manchu bow and mongol bow for example could be considered longbow compared to common design for composite bow. But with composite material you dont need to oversize the limb to make a longbow style bow, just use longer ear and more curved grip.

There is a flight record for most types of bows, including compound bows. And as you might expect the compound flight bow shoots a lighter arrow further than any traditional composite flight bow But whereas effective "war" arrows tend to be heavy, flight shafts tend to be very light and so are less effective as artillery. They go further but do less damage when they get there. 125 grains, 275 grains, 750 grains or 1750 grains at arrow speeds? Do the math. In any case, the Mongol's main military advantage was not in their archery equipment per se, but in how it was employed. In their co-ordination and discipline in achieving clearly understood objectives, they wrote the book on modern cavalry tactics.

Something to note. The shorter the bow, the "lighter" the arrow. The lighter the arrow, the less penetration. Less penetration, less damage. This is adapted for by getting close which is only really possible if you are mounted and your target isn't. If you're on a fast moving horse, not a problem since you can get close (50ft or so), fire and leave. If you're an infantry archer, you can't leave so you want a heavy, high damage, missile to put your target on the ground now, not in three shots time. I should also note that the "longbow" using nations had to deal with significantly heavier armour on their targets. This is why the vast majority changed to crossbows which were much better at armour penetration. The Chinese used crossbows against the Mongols and found a small problem. The Mongols didn't use heavy armour but could fire much faster. The attrition rate was not in favour of the crossbows.

The Brennan if Jackass can be on TV then Modern Rogue can be. The issue isn’t the restrictions, it’s the fact that when it comes to videos like these it’s a format much better suited to KZbin, where they have more freedom.

Hey,this video is so cool!( ^_^) I'm from China,which has also experienced many wars during the 12~14th century. It's true that ancient mongol soldiers were "just nothing more than horses and bow".But actually,the mongol empire alrealy had different types of soldiers after its conquering in the mid-east area. In fact, ancient mongol people were very smart at war. They know how to learn advanced technology from other countries.And before they start to conquer Europe,they already govern some Asia countries for many years.So,when they came to Europe,their army was a sum of light&heavy cavalry, different kinds of siege trains and a large number of following carpenters. That was totally different to European army at that time.Maybe mongolia army is more advanced at that time. Thanks for finishing all my words.And thanks for sharing this video again.

For those people who don’t know anything about history or ancient history. I highly suggest you learn about all these different groups of people. Kings and general, historyMarche, and a few other have extremely interesting videos on both wars, and the culture of these ancients peoples. Trust me. This video is so much more satisfying when you the history of the people mentioned. And their channels are really good quality. I love learning about stuff like this. And trust me there’s a lot of interesting stories that you can easily get sunk into.

@@PNJB_R smh....Huns and Hungarians are not the same thing. Its a fairly known misconception. Huns were a 3rd to 4th century Multi-Ethnic Nomanic confederation of Turkic(ruling class) with Slavic,Germanic,Alani and other smaller ethnic groups. Hungarians or rather what they call themselves are Magyars and are from the 9th century AD about 500 years after the Huns.(Hungarian is just what the Europeans called them because their culture resembled Huns). And the ruling class were Finno-Ugric speaking tribes with secondary Turkic(Kabars,Cumans,Pechenegs etc) with some Alani(Jasz) elements. Fun Fact: The closest relatives according to grave DNA and linguistics from 9th century graves is the Mansi and Khanty people of the Yugra region(Slavs also called the Magyars or hungarians as Uhgors or Ugre people.

Speaking of surviving the apocalypse, no one could ever remember EVERY Modern Rogue episode, but in an apocalypse the internet is likely to be one of the first things to go. Maybe we need some sort of hard copy of every episode ever. So when the apocalypse comes, (assuming we still have some way to have power, which isn't THAT hard really) there's still a way to look up everything the Modern Rogue has ever done.

The power (Kinetic Energy) of a bow is a product of the length of the limbs (and draw length) and weight required to draw the bow. Longer bows dont need as much "poundage" to transfer as much energy as a shorter bow. That is why most "Long" bows are generally between 35-90 lbs, and crossbows have weights generally in the hundreds, going up to 400+ in some cases.

​@@nguyenkhanhtoan2859 yeas they are easy to make compared to composite bows. However, longbows have many other advantages. and this idiot in the video is making itseem likethe english just werent sophisticated enough to make compound bows. thats false. Wherever metal and hevay armor existed, bows needed to be heavier to shoot heavier arrows where kinetic energy is not as important as sheer force in penetrating metal armor. mass becomes more important than velocity as the target becomes heavier!

2:20 Longbows are easier to maintain. Easier to make, simpler design. More stable. Because of its size it will distribute weight better, so when you are pulling heavy bows, it will wobble less compared to a short bow, until you get used to the shorter one. This is why people say "longer bows are more forgiving".
