I love the fact that you go in detail about the topics of your episodes. For example the well digging, everybody knows that it is made with a machinery but it is seldom shown how long it takes, what then process is, and when it ends. Keep up the good work!

[@SimpleWildLiving]

Thank you so much for your comment 🙏🏻 that really means a lot to us 😊 because seldom people know how much work and time goes in to make our videos… so that you again 🤗🤗

Although it’s not 13th century Mongolian archery this style of late Mongolian archery is still part of the history and culture of Mongolia

[@SimpleWildLiving]

Thanks so much 🙏🏻👏 it is a big part of Mongolian life

[@tengribows]

Yeah exactly, these bows are based on Manchurian bows. Not original 13th century bow. And they perform soo bad, because they are so heavy, and they have to be wrapped by synthetic nylon, if not they will fall apart :(( its visible in video also. But in that subtitles was writen 2000 years old bow, before 2000 was even no mongols :DDD Sad is, they also forgot horseback archery and technique of shooting, look how he doing marks on hand, and arrow on the left, etc... not usuable on the horse!!!

In Mongolia even today girls are raised with the teaching: "Rely on your thumb than relying on a man". Women had to defend their camp, when the men were away. Your thumb is important in Mongolian archery, I think (- I'm no an expert).

[@SimpleWildLiving]

Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻

[@amoworld6099]

I can only imagine how much work was put into this - planning, shooting and editing. Great job at the subtitle too. I can’t even understand most of the words the archer is saying! So great job!!! 👏

[@SimpleWildLiving]

Oh this was such a special episode. You all look so good in deel and your place looks like paradise. My heart aches to do what you are doing and I am living vicariously through your videos. Moving overseas and starting a new life is always difficult and, although I've done it a few times, it gets harder as you get older. I will get to Mongolia one day, but how long I stay I don't know yet.

[@brownnutter]

Unless you have something to work on or do it is a difficult place to live. I know many Mongolians who moved back from US and UK in their 40s - 50s now want to go back, and it is not that easy given the current circumstances and visa issues. Personally, I have decided to go back to my roots and give it a go. Hopefully my background in I.T and digital will mean I can pick up work from the west.

[@SimpleWildLiving]

Thanks Mare, your comment have really meant so much to us🙏🏻👍 It’s really has been hard work to moving here with a small one and to start and grow a new KZbin channel so we can eventually get so money to continue our dream.

Okay here is some info. Ancient Mongol Battle bow is so much different and much more powerful than Modern Mongolian Bows like ground and Sky. Some key Bow making techniques Long lost in time being also Mongolians took some bow-making techniques and shooting styles from Manchurian bow smiths & Archers. Ancient Mongolian bow's killing range was 200 yard to 250 yard. Good archers can hit the target in 350 to 400 yards for modern Mongolian bows using Blunt arrowhead and target hitting range is 130+. Thank you for your attention.

[@SimpleWildLiving]

Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻

[@xetra1155]

Can you explain why the archer was holding the thumb-draw way below the arrow? I "learned" it that way you hold it onto the arrow butt

[@Menghias_Bintang]

Do you know what poundage the ancient Mongolian bow is?

[@Nybis]

@@xetra1155 for Better grip and protect your finger cause strong bows can rip off your finger tips pretty easily. Easier to aim.

[@Nybis]

@@Menghias_Bintang Battle long bow is 166-180lb depends on wielders arm strength for horse archers bow poundage is max 150 lb for extra small bow max was a around 80-100.

Hi Guys, I was in Mongolia during the Nadaam of 2018 ,and I fell in love with the people & their culture.One of the things I saw was my Mongolian brothers father would dunk his ring finger in a Mongolian bowl filled with I believe was either airag (mares milk) or arik (vodka) then he would remove his ring finger from the bowl.Then he would flick his finger towards the sky,repeat for shoulder height but away ,then the final at was placed on his forehead.I am sure Zulaa can correct me on this procedure.I also believe he mumbled something while doing this.Can you guys please cover this in future videos.

[@SimpleWildLiving]

Totally agree 👍 mabe an update

[@robertmoore119]

That was entertaining too watch Mongolian Professional Archers show their abilities. I thought the design of their bows was very interesting. I also wondered about the string they wrapped around their wrist, it had a small part of metal there. I wonder if it is like what we use here in America to protect the inside of your forearm and wrist. The bowstring can contact and create pain there. I also noticed the part they put on their thumbs for their holding and release technique.

[@SimpleWildLiving]

Hi 👋 thanks so much. Yes it the rap the arm and to also to hold back the material if there wearing a Del. The metal at the end is for holding it on. 😊

They don't use the thumbdraw directly on the arrow butt but way more below. Is that a competition style? Because riding on a horse I assume it's better to clench the arrow with the thumb-draw. Can anyone explain this?

How come the arrow is in the wrong side of the bow, If using thumb ring the arrow should be on the right side of the bow instead of the left which is common for mediterranean archery.

[@SimpleWildLiving]

Hi Bob, in not to shore but I will find out why, He is a Nadaam professional Archer and will ask.

[@jeanlloydbradberry9099]

@@SimpleWildLiving I was thinking the same thing. Perhaps they are reconstructing their technique from more modern styles mixed with old styles. I grew up with the two-to-three fingered European draw and the arrow on the left side, which to me is awkward and unnatural. In Korea, learned the old Turkic thumb release with the arrow on the right side which was immediately easier to shoot accurately with faster ease and success, and more naturally, and I was hooked for life! The bow was so small and light, powerful and infinitely handier, as well! I think that Mongolian archery may be evolving, and may be combining old and new ways, and predict that it may eventually settle on either the similar way to the Korean draw, or the European, since these are both opposing scientific ways to easily defeat the "archer's paradox" of the arrow being off center either way. It's exciting how accurately these archers can shoot, despite doing it the way that is supposed not to be as easy to use accurately as the two historically more physically "efficient", "scientific" methods! I further predict that using one of the other two methods, they can develop their skill to even greater heights. This video is like seeing marathon runners finishing an entire marathon in good, respectable time, or even potentially winning time while wearing ankle weights! So much respect to them! I am reminded of the development of Professor Wally Jay's very effective, if initially considered to be unorthodox "small circle Jujutsu" school, and other evolving, innovative martial sports. 😍🥰☺

This is not the 13th century Mongol technique and bow. Bow is Machurian, it cannot be used on a horseback because it is too big. Many Mongols criticise this bow but the government is taking a lot of bribes from China and don't change the standard. We all know 13th century Mongols were great horseback archers. The arrow is placed on the right side of the arrow to make it stable when mounted. This video is using Olympic stance and that is the current standard of the archery in Mongolia and is nothing to do with the real Mongol Empire's bow culture. Moreover, those bows are lighter and their arrows don't have enough speed to hurt anything. Anyone can catch it during its flight. It is that slow and doesn't have any force. Sorry for hurting your feelings if it did hurt anyone. Tried my hard to not hurt any living being.

[@SimpleWildLiving]

No worries 😉

[@nicolasauger5085]

Hi, not it’s pre-Qing Mongolia bow from 12th century design. Hand made for the height of the archer for competitions, the bow took 1 year by a master Mongolian bow making to complete. 😊
