Horseback Archery in Bulgaria

[pmarie2003]

Wow! I wish I was young and I'd find a way to go there for some training! I'm doing well just to get on my horse anymore.

[Borat911]

This must take alot of practice !!!

[Tigwig100]

They need to retire some of their horses or get them seen by a vet. The majority of those ridden are extremely lame and not fit to be ridden.

[WedgyMister]

They're riding too slow

[Thrawn6211]

It looks like they do it almost like they walk, without thinking. It takes me at least 3 seconds to nock an arrow...on the ground.

[SMMsideproject]

@Thrawn6211 lmao same, these guys are nuts

[MrSnorreke]

Great horsback archery in my neighbourhood. I am impressed.

[poloarcher30]

[themartyr451]

Dothraki warriors. :D

[PlebeYush]

Terrific, i am totally impressed. Want to be one like You, guys...and i realise i will never be like this...

[182popeye]

the arabs, mongols, mughals were indeed some of the best horse archers in the world

[MrSwatbg]

@182popeye Yeah, sure... but its fact that in the history the Bulgarian horse archery defeated the Arabs twice /KanasUbigy TERVEL...Bulgarian empire/ (One time 1vs1 and one time together with the Armenians). And the Mongols - Defeadet them 4 times /Chelbir/, before the Mongols to invade them (Read about Volga Bulgaria).

By the way... yes, Arabs and Mongols were very good on the horses.

[182popeye]

@MrSwatbg serious? i need to read up on that.are bulgarians similar to mongols?

[MrSwatbg]

@182popeye No. The Mongols have their own style.

The Bulgarians have own. Find video about Scythians and Sarmatians/Aryans/ (From who the Bulgarians origin).

Also..find in google ''Battle of Samara Bend'' ..

Also look this:

/watch?v=BY7dbnxVmIo (in the 3D video are not shown the Bulgarian horsemans.. its for to give u any idea about the battle).

[MrSwatbg]

@182popeye

/watch?v=QYKPDOJ8Pjg - Movie about one of the many (more than 18) victories against East Roman Empire. Movie based on ancient real chronics of Byzantine chronists. The one chronist who''s chronists are more right was wrote that each Bulgarian horseman killed 50 romes.

[MrSwatbg]

@182popeye

/watch?v=YqbbJE0dEGI - In this video is right the typical Bulgarian style. Here you can see the clear diference. Look carefuly the movements of the archery while is on the horse back.

well i know who im never gonna make angry XD

[zdkezios]

1:44 was that horse on the left rolling on the ground? that's funny

[zdkezios]

okay...i am floored with how awesome this is. way to keep the nomad spirit alive. i've been studying all of the eurasian steppe tribes throughout history, and have really gotten a lot of respect for their lifestyle. seriously, you guys are living the dream.

[ArabianArcher]

Hmm, what are those targets they are shooting at, any specific name?

[wolfgang911]

tribes of europe, honor your heritage as do these guys

[missmopar2008]

Oh fantastic!! Wish my horse was galopping in such a relaxed way so i can start training too :-)

Great sport! Keep posting! greetings from the Netherlands
