old yumi are made for war.
Jumi: 20 kg > arrow 20 g + 11 g = 31 g
Jumi: 30 kg > arrow 30 g + 11 g = 41 g
because the war-arrow-heads are heavyer.
Today the arrows are lighter, than you can shoot bows with 12 - 18 kg.
The arrows is horizontal for shooting to 28 meters. Its better for the kyudo-archery to learn horizontal shooting first.
Years later you can try shooting up to 60 meters with the same bow.

I've been shooting western style bows for about ten years, but they all have a very low draw weight. Does the range improve if the weight is increased or does that only affect the speed of the arrow?
