My happy place - Archery Range with Yarha 2 Military Manchu

[@langoloql]

I'm sure that the idea of shooting at the helicopter crossed your mind

[@iyoo1]

it didn't, ^_^;; but i would have in my dreams. :)

[@seancantbeseen9490]

I love watching your videos! So relaxing 😊 nice khatra! Those arrows are flying straight

[@iyoo1]

thank you. good to hear ^_^

[@alibow3603]

This is one of the cleanest release I have seen on our manchu bows, especially at this draw weight. Great improvements!

[@iyoo1]

oh, thank you so much!! thank you for making a great bow and being a great bow maker. means a lot to me. :)

[@ArcheryGuy2]

Like the bow

[@mrln247]

Nice 👍 looks like you have a smooth controlled draw with the bow.

[@iyoo1]

thank you. getting better little by little. :)

[@mrln247]

@@iyoo1 It's very interesting to see how you have tried and adapted styles. I'm still trying to learn the cylindrical ring.

[@iyoo1]

@@mrln247 i tried traditional manchu ring and i wasn't good at it. that's a tricky thing to manipulate. :)

[@mrln247]

@@iyoo1 Persistence is getting me somewhere, getting a fit so you don't send the ring along with the arrow is tricky.

Cooool

[@suunraze]

I wanted to see the Monarq!

[@iyoo1]

sorry. i'll bring it back. Monarq is a great bow. now days, i'm enjoying Yarha 2 a lot. :)

[@asl6304]

I like the camera angle at 1:30 since I can see the path of the arrow after being shot!

[@asl6304]

Also, your quiver looks like it's made of crocodile leather which is so cool!

[@iyoo1]

@@asl6304 thank you so much. i'll use that angle more often. also, quiver is made of fake leather, but i thought i would try it. :)

[@dhanurdhara9311]

Both bows seem to hold up very well, so do you.

[@Dom_Smalls]

Is that custom-painted? I love that look, but I saw that alibow's grape pattern was a little more orange than this one. How did you manage that color scheme? I love your videos!

[@iyoo1]

thank you. i get bored so i paint my bows and make some modifications for fun. :)

[@Dom_Smalls]

@@iyoo1 That's so cool! What sort of paints do you use to get it to stick to the leather? I'm interested in doing something similar to my Qinghai! And my Yarha whenever I get one, haha.

[@iyoo1]

@@Dom_Smalls spray paint to begin with, then, i used some paint powder mixed with resin. that makes them stick to the bow really well. you will see some cracks as you use the bow but you can do this 3 times or so then it looks better. hope to see you shooting your Yarha 2 soon. ^_^

[@Dom_Smalls]

@@iyoo1 Thank you friend! Your videos definitely inspire me even in a fitness sense as well as in archery! I always enjoy seeing your acrobatics, hopefully I can get to the point where I'm doing rolls and kicks too!

[@iyoo1]

@@Dom_Smalls thank you. Love to see you shooting soon :)

[@atune2682]

nice video man im still not sure if mediterenean or thumb draw is better convince me pls lol

[@ajaxthe87]

Whats your goal in archery? Target? 3d? Fun? Historical? Meditation? It matters.

[@iyoo1]

thanks. that depends on what you like to achieve in archery. also, personal preferences and one's personality will have big affects on it. or you can try many different ways of shooting and 'feel' what you like. that's what i say to my friends who want to learn archery. :)

[@mrln247]

I'm slowly teaching myself archery for fun and interest not competition. Definitely just try both, I like the long draw with no anchor but traditional English longbow (warbow) was a long draw anyway, thumb draw has a slight advantage of giving maybe another 2-3" of draw length over finger's and is well suited to Manchu bows.

[@iyoo1]

@@mrln247 agree. love the Asiatic way of shooting. ^_^
