Id like a horse bow but to shoot with my left

[@AminJones]

Do it again, do it again...

[@Lionall]

@@CrownJewelzMusicGroup Go ahead, there are plenty of horse bow designs out there that have a narrow arrow pass. But, even if you don't find one, learning to adjust your aim is not all that hard.

[@woodchuck243]

You are doing great I have recently started to teach myself how to shoot with ether hand I normally shoot right handed Keep up the good work try not to throw the bow hand so much to the side .but practice will get you to the accuracy that you seek

[@dannyroberts5056]

All of the horse bows I have shot or own do not have an arrow shelf. They can be shot either right or left handed.

[@andrewcoates8906]

I love the way that you react when you totally miss the target, it is such a honest and open response, showing that you are fallible and not only showing your hits to give a false account of your accuracy with your weapon. The last time that I had a session of archery with a group of Scouts, the instructor who was in charge of my group carried his bow horrizontally(?) and fired from his hip, almost like a gunman in the old western films. As he said afterwards he followed the course so often and with such a range of sizes of pupils, he had developed his style of carrying his bow so that the same bow could be used by anybody from an eight year old to an adult.

[@NUSensei]

Mihai Cozmei (The Living Arrow) is a very good source to study this particularly draw method (the Slavic release). He explains and teaches it clearly with very good demonstrations. You also want to watch what you are doing with your bow hand. You don't want to "throw" your arm to the side. That doesn't accomplish much other than throwing off the shot. You may be attempting "khatra", which is a more purposeful torque intended to improve arrow clearance. Mihai Cozmei and Armin Hirmer have very good videos on the topic.

[@chrismcpherson7582]

I love how you have your own repository of videos related to each of these topics, but you still reference others on the subjects

[@dennismadigan2023]

I have always shot from that side. Growing up we (friends I grew up with) always shot instinctively too. Draw Raiseing, lowering, right to left and let it fly. We also stood on opposite sides of the field and would shoot towards each other at a target so we didn't have to go fetch the arrows. We did that long before that game of Jarts came about.

[@artawhirler]

I was about to write same thing, slavic draw.

[@miodragon1]

@@milosjanos5058 iskreno, nisam do sada video da neko ovako zapinje tetivu, nelogično mi je kako ona to radi sa ispruženim kažiprstom. Meni je oduvek bilo logičnije da strela prolazi sa desne strane luka ako se zapinje desnom rukom, ali sam zapinjao palcem, za koji je neophodan prsten ako je luk malo jači. Mada, sada dok pišem ovaj komentar, setio sam se nečega vrlo interesantnog. Pre oko 15 godina, dao sam nekom dečaku od 10-ak godina drveni dugi luk da se malo zabavi. Luk je bio veliki i prejak za njega, ali dečak je bio oduševljen i uporan. Nakon 20 minuta vežbe, uspešno je odapinjao strelu u primetio sam da neobično drži prste na tetivi, a zapravo, držao ih je ovako kao ova devojka. U 15 minuta, dečaku od 10 godina koji je pre toga video luk samo na filmu, proradio je instikt zapisan u genima

[@mrdeedles69]

When shooting an arrow from the opposite side, usually a thumb ring is used. It reverses the archers paradox from left to right, which is one of the reasons the arrow is drifting to the right.

[@somerando1073]

This is sometimes true, especially among horse archers and other eastern archers. However, there are European manuscripts showing archers shooting from the right using a Mediterranean draw.

[@adonisbs]

Shadiversity has made a few videos, since last year, on shooting arrows from "the wrong side" and talking about the misconceptions that it's impossible to do it. His views and comments on it's benefits and historical probability are very interesting

[@AnimaTriste]

No. Stop talking about the things that you know nothing about. Neither does he.

[@adonisbs]

@@AnimaTriste Have you even seen Shadiversity's videos on this subject to make such claims?

[@AnimaTriste]

@@adonisbs I have seen his videos and videos of other more credible sources. Nobody says it is impossible to shoot that way. But just because it's possible doesn't mean that it's probable or true: physics and ease of shooting (efficiency if you will) point into other direction. Also if you handle an arrow correctly, speed argument falls off the table. Being trad archer for decades and avid student of archery history gives me some insight, I think. He is nothing but an attention seeking clown in my opinion, sorry. End of discussion. Good bye.

[@adonisbs]

​@@AnimaTriste Ok then. There have been many KZbin channels and several places around the internet where people have indeed said it's impossible to shoot that way. So you're wrong here. Doesn't matter if it would be probable or true. The point Shadiversity (and ThegnThrand, who inspired him) made in his videos on "shooting from the wrong side" was exactly so see if it was really impossible to do. He proved it was possible, he also showed how he could get straight flight of the arrow by shooting it from the wrong side and both Shadiversity and ThegnThrand made remarks (even though just being personal anectodes) on how it felt easier to draw heavier bows. And even if you do handle an arrow perfectly, speed will always be an agrument because of the human limitation (strength) and the bow's poundage itself. I've also tried this method of shooting and haven't felt any back pains after a long day of shooting. I am also a traditional archer since eight years old and this also gives me some insight. So since you thought is was pertinent to point this out, so have I. In the end, your opinion is just that; your opinion. Just as my comment to the video was just my opinion. The difference is that something made you feel necessary to comment in a way to shoot down my comment, no pun intended. I was just pointing out a fellow KZbin creator that made several interesting videos on the subject. Maybe you should go find a new hobby so you won't make a clown of yourself on the internet again.

[@jamesalexander6417]

You're experiencing what I did 20 years ago. I was a left-handed archer but I had to learn to shoot right-handed because I couldn't find a left-handed bow. I can shoot a bow with either hand now. It's also true that shooting right-handed is quicker. A bow like you're shooting in this video can be used with either hand so you could shoot right-handed for speed or left-handed if you needed to make a longer shot and required more precision. Keep practicing and it will start to feel natural no matter which side you shoot from.

[@neverlookback3382]

Now that's what I call instinctive shooting. That is one of the most handy take down bows I have seen.

[@ShadeSlayer1911]

It is pretty neat. Too bad the bow is only 18 pounds draw weight and no options for any other. If it were even 30 pounds, I might have grabbed one to have as a simple plinking bow.

[@DFDuck55]

This is exactly how I learned to shoot a bow. When I was given my first bow, at about the age of 7 or 8, no one told me it was a "recurve" bow, so I strung it wrong, which meant the arrow was on the right side of the bow.

[@DFDuck55]

Outstanding vid dear......I love how you are expanding your skills, and knowledge of the other variations of Archery, other than Western / traditional style. You will be amazed as to how Archery in general has evolved in what we are use to seeing these days. But the craft of Archery in itself has been around for many thousands of years, and The type of Archery that you’re exploring into, is definitely a plus for your Chanel/ Vids. Because it lends an excellent advantage to your survival skills. As an Archery coach, myself, I find it fascinating to delve into other styles of Archery I.e. Asiatic, Turkish, Mongolian etc. The style you are exploring into, will,.......I think, give you just as much fun, as what you are use to as well. So shooting from the right side of the bow, will definitely remove that so called “ archers paradox “ commonly associated with traditional Archery, and you will eventually learn about the “ thumb draw “ that is associated with that style of Archery as well. I wish you good shooting, and as always.......keep up the awesome vids. I’m a big fan 😇🙏🏹🇺🇸🇵🇭👍

[@greenhoodedvigilante458]

You can shoot with 'thumb draw', you're gonna need thumb ring. You can watch "NUSensei" or "Armin Hirmer" for that. Thumb draw was mostly used for shooting from right side because it's easier to overdraw, pass the ear, mostly used in eastern archery. For aiming, It's mostly instinctive. But there are some aiming method used by archers, I don’t really know much, some kind of refference point.

Don't close your eyes. You pinpoint aim by lining up the tip seen by both eyes and it improves accuracy. You close your eye for guns.

This was give you the opportunity to fire with your other than dominant hand incase you have been wounded or your dominate limb is damaged. This is not impossible to do but you need to practice.
