After the 16th century, guns were used in warfare. Bows became training and sports. Because they were developed to pursue the best functionality. Detailed shooting techniques and bow management were performed. It continues with the modern traditional bow.

Shooting with my hair down rips it out 0:17

[@eddymontero6658]

Seems like hard work. It requires patience that I don't have.

[@notapplicable531]

Patience comes with time. When I first started using hornbows twenty some years ago, I disliked stringing and tuning them partly beause of the time it required and the care needed to do it correctly. On average, it would take about 20 minutes. Today, I sometimes string and tune two or three bows and think nothing of it.

[@hutchieboy242]

How can I obtain one of these Bows?

[@nazariarchery]

Good👍

[@Дми́трийВикторович-о3с]

So, they don't need to heat it up every time they string it? I certainly had that impression from the other korean documentary I saw.

[@thangkhual4769]

They aren’t unstrung often

[@MarcassCarcass]

Is the circle in the target 160 yards away 1 meter in diameter? 1:09

[@Theslaveoflogic]

Yes it is. According to today's regulations....and the target's total size is 2m×2.667m.😮

[@mccarthy86]

Woah, why are my Korean bows not having that crazy draw length?

[@davidjacobs8558]

was it made in the traditonal way? using water buffalo horns ? if not, it's not going to behave like the ones shown in this video. water buffalo horns are rather expensive, and most manufactured bows use modern material instead.

[@TalesForWhales]

How many fish do I have to squeeze until I find one with glue? Who figured this out and why?

[@llillllii]

You need About 200g of croaker fish air bladders.

[@davidjacobs8558]

there is a legend that says, while cooking and eating some fish, they find that some part of it became extremely sticky. they figured out that the sticky part was the bladder, and decided to use it as glue.

[@seeingthepattern]

The narrators sound utterly bored with the topic. Had to give up listening.

[@notapplicable531]

Narration style. I guess it depends on the person listening as I found their style had a certain degree of patience in it, not boring. The only thing I found jarring was the mispronunciation of Korean words by the man, given that I've heard them pronounced by Koreans for the last twentyu-three years. That I attribute to assuming they are applying English pronunciation patterns to Korean words that have been Romanized using the flawed system used up to 2000. Sound or no sound, I hope you did watch the video to the end.

[@seeingthepattern]

@@notapplicable531Nope, gave up completely. Pictures needed audio, and the audio was unbearable.
