Longbow and me

[XDawnie]

For people who are interested: There is another video coming up! ' Longbow and me' is already one year old, and I still get many reactions, which is awesome! Thank you for your enthousiasm! The next video we've filmed yesterday so I still have to edit, so I have no idea how long it would take till I post it on youtube, but I just wanted you to know that there is one coming! xx

[WatchRyder]

It's the elf girl! :)

Great shooting, if they ever allow longbows into the olympics you'd get on the ladies team with that shooting!:)

[XDawnie]

@WatchRyder Thanks! But I really am not that great as it looks, haha!

[Ronaldoo91]

[Svremeto]

[CanadianFighter2k]

[XDawnie]

@CanadianFighter2k No, I wanna do real acting ;)

[LordIves]

Wow..nice shooting. It's definitely the hottest archery video ever existed ;)

[XDawnie]

[leonardo1480]

excellent shooting

[XDawnie]

@leonardo1480 Thanks!

[gck1953]

Aye, she's a cute little pixie.

[XDawnie]

@gck1953 Lol thank you!

[MrExplorer1965]

Nice shootin' and keep your bow arm bent ever so slightly at the elbow or you can hurt your bow arms shoulder from the shock of a true long bow.

Keep shootin' !

[TonyTheGuardsman]

Good shooting.

[XDawnie]

@TonyTheGuardsman Thank you!

[Jimbolegofreak]

hoeveel pond schiet je?

[sublimemadness]

I'm a lefty too, but you win the cuteness prize, keep shootin'. :)

[XDawnie]

@sublimemadness Haha thank you!

[MrTsujiKun]

goe geschoten :)

ben net ook begonnen met boogschieten, maar bak er nog niet veel van :p

mijne is geen longbow maar een gewone boog uit de decathlon xD

grtz

x

[XDawnie]

@MrTsujiKun Dankjewel!! Oke, succes! Ik schoot al met een mini longbow toen ik 6 was ongeveer, ging later ook recurve schieten, maar longbow was toch leuker dus ging toch weer longbow schieten. Als je goed traint kan je straks vast wel beter schieten ;)

[Rdelpasado1]

vravo mama, buen hojo and nice video

[oteromason]

Lefty! :p

[GotGrolesh]

And don't afraid to look in the camera - it's error for actress but not for girl with such eyes.;)

[XDawnie]

@GotGrolesh Haha well, I guess on videos like this I can look into the camera.

[MrSmilyCat]

i made a long bow out of hickory belly lemon wood inner and a bamboo outer its a 42 pounds at 32 inchers 

[XDawnie]

@MrSmilyCat Okay, awesome! ;) Does it shoot well?

[EdofEngland]

Hoi, nice bow & nice shooting!

[XDawnie]

@EdofEngland Hoi! Thanks! xx

[a3darcher]

look into the camera all you want your cute LOL, and a lefty, go girl

[XDawnie]

@a3darcher Thanks ^.^

[earakelt]

Leuk fimpje, mooie boog, goed geschoten!! Schiet zelf nu al enige jaren met een (voor mij) handgemaakte taxus (gelamineerde) flatbow, wil geen ander meer, maar een ronde longbow erbij is zeker een optie, hahaha (nu de centjes nog;p)!!

[XDawnie]

@earakelt Dankjewel! Ik schiet op het moment ook met een door mijn vader gemaakte flatbow. ;)

[micers]

The lassie is left handed? Good for her.

[XDawnie]

@micers Lassie?

[huyked]

:D Nice shooting. And funny, about "Next time, I will not look into the camera." :) It's okay.

[XDawnie]

@huyked Thank you! Haha, well as an actress I have to avoid looking in the camera, so I wanted to try that with this video as well.

[huyked]

@XDawnie

Oh, neat, you're into acting. So, I'm guessing theater too? If you have any videos of that, it would be neat to see. Have you been on TV, or done commercials?

Oh, I just noticed how many arrows you have in your quiver. Wow! :D

[XDawnie]

@huyked I have done a commercial for cookies but for that one many many children were filmed and they cut me out, so that sucks. I also did a videoclip but there I am in a big audience so you won't see me in there, haha. I also did one movie, but not with acting, just as an extra, my head is on screen for like one second, lol. But I do follow theatre classes, two hours on friday, and then we do two plays in one year, in a real theatre, that's very much fun to do, I really love it.

[huyked]

@XDawnie

Aww, that's too bad they cut you out.

Haha (not laughing at you, just my reaction on hearing your story) on the two other times.

That's cool about theatre class, and also being in 2 performances a year. Do you plan on sharing some snippets on parts you have on previous and upcoming plays?

[zeidamaster]

Fantastic shooting from norway!

[zeidamaster]

@zeidamaster Btw, your grip on the bow is just like Howard Hills :)

[XDawnie]

@zeidamaster Lol I didn't even know who Howard Hills was but I looked him up and saw that he was the World's Greatest Archer, so thank you very much! :)

[XDawnie]

@zeidamaster Thank you! Greetings from the Netherlands!

[bigbowbrum]

Hi XDawnie. I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed watching your video. You have a nice, natural technique there. Good draw, hold and clean loose. It's nice to see someone enjoy shooting the longbow and I wish you well with your shooting in the future. Best wishes, Nick x

[XDawnie]

@bigbowbrum Very happy to hear you enjoyed wathing my video! :) Thank you very much!

[GotGrolesh]

My congratulations from Russia! Nice shooting. Do you want to become marksman?

PS: I'm sorry for my english=)

[XDawnie]

@GotGrolesh Thank you! No I definitly not want to become a marksman! That's someone who shoots guns and stuff, right? I want to become an actress or make movies my own ;)

[greenfish13]

I am curious, I notice that when you shoot you place the arrow on yourside of the bow rather than the opposite side of the bow. Is this is a specific style?

[XDawnie]

@greenfish13 Uh no... maybe it's because I shoot with my left arm? I don't know, haha

[Mveculous]

Great shooting! Hello from America!

[XDawnie]

@Mveculous Thanks! Awesome, America! I really wanna go to LA some day! Hello back from The Netherlands!

[josephrobinson1976]

Nice shooting!!

[XDawnie]

@josephrobinson1976 Thanks!

[TheSimpsoys]

You should make some more vids. Nice shooting!

[XDawnie]

@TheSimpsoys Yes I really should, haha. But I am quite busy with school at the moment. I will try to make another one when I've got more time ;)

[tKslVguyen]

Who needs risers, stabilizers, sights, pulleys when you have eyes and hands like that =)

Great shooting XDawnie!

[XDawnie]

@tKslVguyen Thank you!

[KazukoThunderbird]

Great video! I'm currently working on purchasing an English warbow and can't wait to try it out. Also, I really liked the music. Definitely going to have to check the band out.

[XDawnie]

@KazukoThunderbird Thank you! The music is from the Irish band Dervish, they were in the Netherlands last year, they are really good! Good luck with the warbow ;)

[salamiedonut]

Waa, je bent er echt goed in joh :O, Keigaaf fimpje. And don't bother me by saying your English is bad. It's quite alright. Well done. Keep on the good work. Ga door met boogschieten en wordt ff wereldkampioen. Kunnen we als nederlanders trots op zijn :-P

(ff een vraagje: is de longbow zelf gemaakt, of gekocht?) Tabbee

[XDawnie]

@salamiedonut Haha zo goed ben ik nou ook weer niet hoor! (Heb het filmpje zo gemaakt dat het lijkt alsof ik alles in het geel schiet) De longbow hebben we gekocht bij Bickerstaffe, een engelse meneer, die maakt zelf de bogen. Mijn vader heeft zelf flatbows gemaakt, op het moment schiet ik met een van de flatbows, misschien maak ik daar nog wel eens een filmpje van ;)

[salamiedonut]

@XDawnie Haha, oké, ;-) Maar alsnog een leuk filmpje howr.. En je moet echt eens nog een filmpje maken van zo'n flatbow idd, Dat zouden heel veel mensen denk ik erg leuk vinden: Ze zijn sowieso nogal enthousiast geloof ik. Tabbee ;)

[JahBMX212]

Mooie Longbow hoor!!!

En goed geschoten!!XD

:)

[XDawnie]

@JahBMX212 Dankjewel!

[BiohazardNightmare]

Nice! loved it.bows are amazing

[rieks1969]

Greetings from Holland :)

[XDawnie]

@rieks1969 Ahh dankjewel!! :)

[randomted]

Great shooting!

[XDawnie]

@randomted Thanks!!

[Beethovenvirus]

nice shooting, how long have youv'e been practicing archery`?

[XDawnie]

@Beethovenvirus Well, I think I am practicing archery since I was six, so about eleven years now... but I am not quite sure.

[Warbeast911]

@XDawnie hellemal goed :-)

[CombatArchery]

I wish i had a bow like that...

[XDawnie]

@CombatArchery Haha, so why don't you buy one? Too expensive? Or don't you know where to buy one?

[ajcvikingboy]

nice shooting, where about do you shoot, are youa mamber of a club?

[XDawnie]

@ajcvikingboy Yes I am a member of a club ;) The Saense Handboog Skutters @ Zaandam, The Netherlands.

[david2012slayer]

is very good longbow, but how much distance shooting? how many pounds of force? and what wood was built?

[david2012slayer]

I meant .. You made this bow? you build it? the long bow is my favorite type of bow:)

[XDawnie]

@david2012slayer Nooo! I can't make bows! My father had made a bow once, and he makes arrows, but this bow is made by Bickerstaffe. ;) The longbow is also my favorite type of bow ;)

[drpinto28]

You make the bow yourself?

[XDawnie]

@drpinto28 Noooo!! I can't make bows! My father had made a bow, and he makes arrows. But this bow is made by Bickerstaffe!

[TheJuhaSA]

Nice work!

[XDawnie]

@TheJuhaSA Thanks!

[a2vr4]

How many yards away is the target? Beautiful shooting!

[AresCosmos]

[david2012slayer]

[XDawnie]

[bassetter1]

Good to see that the fine art of longbow archery also attracts young ladies .

[XDawnie]

@bassetter1 Yes, I love my longbow very much :) In the past I had had a recurve but Longbows are way more beautifull and more fun!

[iflyinthesky1]

what bow is that? I might buy one

[XDawnie]

@iflyinthesky1 It's a longbow from Bickerstaffe, he's from England ;)

[voiceoftruth2006]

@XDawnie

Ha ha, lucky you! I have three bows from Bickerstaffe, and I got to visit his workshop this year when I picked one up. What weight is it?

[StoneSlinging]

Leuk gedaan! mooie boog.

[vailmaster5]

[joeycoop]

not to bad at all keep it up, i was gonna say at the start it looked like you were struggling with the poundage of the bow but by the end you were doing it text book so i think you were warming up

[Bowmaster619]

[XDawnie]

@Bowmaster619 That's why it's called a LONGbow haha, thanks ;)

[coombscharlie]

[XDawnie]

@coombscharlie Thanks :)

[fusilfusil]

Enjoyed your video. What is the draw of your bow? 

[Miringel]

Mooie boog! welk hout is het, taxus?

[FiveSeven13]

very nice shooting! 50m range?

[Me102288]

nice form, I've been into archery a long time. 120 pound longbow now, about 3 years ago I used 45 pound .

cool, keep up the good work

[XDawnie]

@Me102288 Ok, awesome! Why did you stop? And thanks ;)

[irianthul]

I was already wondering in the first shot, but after you got your arrows, I was sure, I know this! It´s in Zaandam, am I right? I went shooting there a few times as well!

[XDawnie]

@irianthul Jup It's Zaandam! But do you live in the Netherlands too then? Cause if you do that probably means you're Dutch, like me, and then we don't have to write this in english, lol

[MrTylerplatte]

your a pretty good shot keep it up :)

[XDawnie]

@MrTylerplatte Thank you! I will ;)

[samuelgunnarsson1983]

You're good, how far away stood the target, and how heavy is you're bow? Greetings from Sweden :-)

[XDawnie]

@samuelgunnarsson1983 Uhh I think it was like 30 yards, but I am not sure. My bow is 45 pound... I am not sure if that's the english word for it, though,

[drpinto28]

@XDawnie little less than 3 stone--I'm not english but 16 lbs is one stone

[KnockoffNigeI]

@drpinto28 14lb, no 's' either.

[Jimbolegofreak]

goed filmpje maar misschien kun je beter proberen je boog horizontaal te houden tijdens het laden dat gaat sneller maar evegoed

goed gedaan ;-)

[XDawnie]

@Jimbolegofreak Je boog horizontaal houden? Dan sla je de mensen voor en achter je toch met je boog? haha! :P maar dank je voor je tip.

[XDawnie]

@Jacko643 Uhm I guess the poundage is 45, but I don't know if that's what you mean, since I'm from the netherlands I use different words.

[helldropper]

Fantastic shooting. I'm planning on taking up archery and this video helps to inspire that more. One question, what was that black object in your drawing hand?

[XDawnie]

@helldropper Thank you. I'm glad my video inspires you. Well I don't really know what the thing in my hand is called in english. In Dutch we call it a 'tab' it is something that protect your fingers... hope you understand what I mean.

[helldropper]

@XDawnie Oh okay. I was just wondering because the only other thing I knew of was and archers three fingered glove. Thanks for the reply.

[cbrusharmy]

I'm officially afraid of you.  :-)

[XDawnie]

@cbrusharmy Haha! I promise I won't ever shoot something/someone living!

[HermesDo]

is it my idea or the four arrows in the yellow mark were a bit set up? haha great job although

[XDawnie]

@HermesDo Lol I think you are the first one who sais that! And you are right, I am sorry if I upset people who thought I really were that amazig, but I'm not, I just love to make videos, and this is the moviemagic! When you see mee shooting I'm shooting from far, but when you see the arrows hit the jellow I'd shoot from very close :P

[HermesDo]

@XDawnie hahahahahahah 

[shadysideguy123]

@Jacko643 Your shooting a heavy weight because it's a compound.

[XDawnie]

@Jacko643 On the video I was 15, now I'm 16 but Tomorrow I'm 17 ^^

[Warbeast911]

@XDawnie sweet dutch lady

[XDawnie]

@Warbeast911 :) haha thank you

[Warbeast911]

@XDawnie your welcome

[lucide5]

sexy lomgbow but very seriouse practise,good shoot ,parctise exercice for catch arrow sensitive noch with thumb :) enables you to watch the target by placing your arrow on the bow without taking his eyes from the target !!!

if you train every day 3or 4 arrow without the bow arm in a few feel like your gesture is free if you want to contact me for details kounov@yopmail.com you just wrote my lomgbow

[Zaratustrov]

[renteria52]

[Callaghan04]

@XDawnie yes that is what i meant :) and 30 yards is impressive! i am actually in awe lol, i use a 135lbs Bow that i made... and im a terrible shot HAHA!

[XDawnie]

@Callaghan04 Practice makes perfect! But my bow might be 45 lbs, but I don't pull it out that far (if you know what I mean)
