  • @heMileniumFalcon thanks :)

  • Do Hungarians have these "gers" same as Mongolians? That's pretty neat.

  • @MyNomin

    Maybe not the same, but similar, yes.

  • @thekabar44 thanks :p

  • @gotrian1 its called a ger like a round house/tipi

  • what is the power of the hungarian bow?

  • @shadowfury01

    I think that is around 40 lbs. All the bows that were shot by adults were around 40 lbs.

  • @TimothyLionphoenix I think he asked for the bows used in the 9th century. And they were definitely not 40lbs strong ;) 40lbs: it's good for women. An average hungarian bow's strength was much higher than 40! Around 80 lbs. Some historians think they were even stronger :D my sister can draw a 40 lbs strong bow :D

  • @TheKabar44

    Look. NO ONE knows! The Hungarians gave a shit how many # the bows have. The question was, can I use it on horseback in full galop for fast and aimed shooting, shooting backward, or not. In the 9th century we had NO infantry. Everyone was sitting on a horse. Thats why we was the fastest and we could win with 5000 man to 10-12000. The draw lenght is the key, not the poundage. 80lbs or higher is deffinitiv not good for it. Cunning, speed and accuracy was important.

  • speed, 1 minit 20 precizion shoot

    watch that youtube.com/watch?v=EOWeU9R1vB­s&feature=related

  • @shadowfury01

    No one knows. What we know today, fighting from horseback, giving aimed shots forward and backward, doing this every 1,5 - 4 seconds, with a high poundage bow is not really effective. Doing this 10 minutes is ok, but all day in a fight? Foot troops can shoot high poundage, but move on foot make an army slow. Hungarians moved very fast, that means they was horseback fighter. But the exactly no one knows how much power their bows had. No scripts about that. we can only estimate.

  • @Thommys111 well they found a story written on a stone telling about a guy shooting down hees targeth from 500meters !!

  • @GabrielTheViking

    Yes, there were some very strong bows, but using strong bows like this in a battle makes no sense, i think. We con only estimate and reconstruction. I am an archer too, and i think, those archer who was able to shoot arrows every 1,5 - 3 sec. (aimed till 100 meters), those not had more than 80-100 pounds. On horseback less than that. remember a battle gone not only a few hours.

  • @Thommys111 they actually had two bows one on arround 80 lbs for close range, and one on about 160lbs for long range

  • @GabrielTheViking

    Ok. What is the evidence for your assertion? Because not one complete bow was found ever.

  • Egy a baj hogy e szép nemzetet=9 a Magyart a tetves zsidók szétlopták és most az itt maradt őslakosokkal is el akarnak bánni=)deviza hitel=)cigányság.

  • HUN = TURK ...

  • This is old Bulgarien composit bow. Hungarian are cousins of Bulgarian Bal-kan and Bal-a - ton have samo word - bal which means-BIG.

  • 1st i love how alot of you guys got into the spirit of things, setting up the yurt etc, but whats causing that strange zipping noise when the man shoots on his own half way along.

  • waitt aren't these mongolian people with their famous mongol bows..??

  • @buddoyr they are Hungerian. so Pretty much they are related to Turks, because both of the Hun's desents.

  • Comment removed

  • The real origin of these bows come from mongolia.

  • @MrBullshittliar

    they isn't mongol, they wearing ancient hungarian clothes. They are magyars.

  • The Hungarian army...

  • Comment removed

  • nice mongol warriors!

  • A sagittis Hungarorum, libera nos Domine :)

  • the bows are actually Turkish Made

  • hunGAYrians=mongols from asia

  • @razvan1928 another romanian kid, love you people

  • what is the average pull back on these types of bows. i just bought a new 50lbs recurve realy do like it.

  • That is some awesome shooting keep up the good work,

  • The poundage on those bows doesn't look like it could pierce mail

  • @JaKeth3snake Those bows are most likely tuned for target use only, and the shooters in this video are youths. The war bows have much higher poundage, up to 130 pounds draw weight. I use a Mongol bow which I crafted from spring steel stock and it has over 100 pounds of draw. Rode in on a herd of buffalo in Oklahoma, went for a medium weight bull and fired a broadhead which killed it instantly, humane, ethical shot. I carried my .45 revolver just in case but did not even need to fire it.

  • @Rachen30 You sound like an interesting person. If you don't mind me asking, are you native?

  • @JaKeth3snake I am a Chinese- Mongol who grew up in the USA. I have been into hunting, archery and shooting since I was little. I study combat arts, weapons, and military history. I am probably not the best archer in the world but last year I used my same Mongol bow to outshoot a fella' with a 5.56mm AR-15 at a 300 yard pie-plate target haha. He never looks at rifles the same now, I actually got him interested into archery :)

  • anybody who wears an arm guard isn't an archer. They are shooting wrong

  • I always thought that the composite bow was an extremely difficult draw. When I see young girls manage it, I imagine that it really isn't so :-)

    Thanks for posting.

  • @Anekantavad Probably the real ones from the roman times was hard. They had much more range too, and higher firing power. In this video these ones are only cheap replicates of the original ones, so they have short range, weak impact power, and easy to draw. These are just training bows.

  • @Anekantavad If it's got a low draw weight, why would it be hard?

  • from mongol!

  • cool video i just got a bow like this for christmas its awsome

  • Turkish Archers

  • @canimkizimbicik

    Bullshit this is ancient hungarian bows. Turkish archers is turkish arches this not this

  • Long live Turan !

  • long live turania

  • i love bows and arrows

    

  • The guy with glasses is my favorite! :DDD

  • because these inverse bows are originally from central asia and those people has Kipchak routes, you can say it by the yurt they are coming out from at the beginning

  • watch out these guys have hunnic blood they know how to work a bow and arrow even on horse back hahaha.

  • I have a hard time believing that this is somewhat of a traditional or historical hungarian style of clothing.

    It can't be.

    When I think of hungarian, the first thing that comes to my mind are the heavy knights of medieval kingdom of Hungary, and the hussar-type of cavalry of the modern period.

    I mean, the bows can be identical. Hell, the hun type bow was used by the western and eastern roman empire by various occasions, so it could be that the hungarians adopted it from them. But the clothes?

  • @azmhyr If you're not Hungarian or at least familiar with their history, then what you think of isn't worth much. Do you think knights wore armour 24/7? They didn't even shoot bows. Traditional costumes are what the regular people wore.

  • why is someone walking behind the targets?!! how dangerous!

  • I love that trusting woman at 1:23 about to walk behind the targets! :D

  • egyetértek :P

  • Luurowns - Igaz, de mi lövünk mindennel, ami kicsit is feszíthető. Mutatok neked olyan srácot itt az egyesületben, aki saját maga csinálja a saját íjait - egyszerű tiszafából. A másik laprugóból faragta - és országos bajnok lett vele. A törökök meg tőlünk tanulták az íjászatot. Ilyen egyszerű.

  • OMG!!

    their outfit look so much like turkic people in central asia and what i saw was literally a yurt !!

    and the bows, they are ottoman bows, i couldn't believe my eyes!!

    they must be turkic origin

  • Yeah huge portions of eastern Europe descends from central Asia

  • @acsimsek hungary was once ruled by the Huns, who were direct descendants of a nomadic nation called Xiongnu. The Xiongnu was once a threat to Han China, but then it later split into two groups after 2 BC: the Huns to the west and Mongolians to the east

  • @acsimsek

    Because this is Cuman Turkish culture who got assimilated either willingly or by force in Hungary. Search "Cumans" and "Codex Cumanicus" in Wikipedia to learn some stuff about them.

  • if these are all hungarian gyes, why does 1 of them has a turkish bow? ^^

  • Becouse in the middle ages (16th century)archers used surely long bows, and turkish type bowes as well in Hungary!

  • @bjdhgj

    Also because of the battle in Eger, we kinda jacked some of the Turks weapons after we sent'em packing thanks to Gergely! haha

  • @bjdhgj NO

    in the 3-4 centuries Hun empire (Which is a turkish empire) moved to europe and qonquered till roma, Kings name is attila or atilla the hun, Hungarians came from that Hun Empire.

  • @ARICI1517 what is the difference from huns and mongo they have the same bows and almost same clothes and many things are similar?

  • @ARICI1517 That is absolute nonsense, Hungarians have nothing to do with the Huns. That's a mere phantasy of sick Hungarian minds. Magyars are descendants of seven tribes mostly of Turko-Tartar origin, one of the tribes was a mixture of Arabs and Jews. And those tribes formed somewhere in Kazachstan sometime in the 7-8th centuries.

  • @luurowns

    Még ha azt te tudnád, Norvég cimborám, hogy a Törökök itt voltak ám Magyarországon egy ideig

  • @luurowns Simply because Magyars are of Turko-Tartar origin.

  • @luurowns Turkish bow...llol..... perhaps you should ask why the ottoman Turks used MONGOL bows. The Turks copied the Mongol technology

  • Comment removed

  • @luurowns

    because his mama made love to a Turkish dude

  • @luurowns theres not really a great difference between huns and turks. they all come from central asia. clothes, equpments, even their tent making are similar. and they had same army tactics and dicipline... since 209 B.C.

  • @luurowns turks and hungarians are related...did you ever heard about the Hun-Turks

  • Greeting to all Hungarian brothers from Turks...

  • Nice yurt. Good archery. Stupid woman. ;-)

  • what in the world type of wood did they make it out of that the limbs can be almost parallel at full draw and not break

  • This is from the web site of Csaba Grózer bowmaker:

    The core of the bow is joined together of assorted kinds of wood (F.ex: birch, or yew - by me). The inside (that is on the archer's side) is made of horn plating. The outside is made of tendon strings and fishbladder-glue, layered and shrunk onto the bow.

  • nice thats amazing wonder how long it took em to get it right

  • @hitshitthefan

    Because it is composit.. not one peace of limb or wood...

  • most of the bows in this video are of horn/sinew composite and very flexible and are made to be very compact so to be used on horseback (very useful in the bush too)

  • @thompsonsrock

    why they dress similar to mongols?

  • @monukv that's who perfected the art of mounted archery centuries ago. The mounted archers of mongolia is why the great wall of china was built. Crazy effective in combat.

  • I'm surprised at the woman's stupidity, and also at the archers - very surprised nobody stopped shooting or questioned it or while she walked behind the targets. They should also have known better.

  • It was discussed several times, that it is not visiblie on the video, that the pathway she walks on, turns away, so that she do not walks behind the targets!

  • @themurkar Relax, buddy. You're a safety-obsessed North American. Which is good, because North Americans are mostly idiots. This is Europe. Loosen up.

  • @NoisemakerArrow More than a little uncalled for, don't you think?

  • @themurkar Not really, no. Every day I hear of another idiot getting himself hurt and then suing.

  • @NoisemakerArrow And they're all North Americans getting hurt, because we're all idiots here right? We're not all gun-toting morons over here; just some. No need to start throwing around stereotypes. I'm Canadian by the way, we have the same opinion of Americans that the rest of the world shares (although for some reason we get lumped together as one).

  • @themurkar Well, it's the ones that don't have guns that are morons. You get lumped together because you're equally fat, stupid and useless.

  • @NoisemakerArrow But not nearly as judgmental and bigoted as some Europeans, you've made apparent. Don't bother replying...this ignorant conversation has ended.

  • were can i found a hungarian or a mongol bow in a international site (true site, not fake)?

  • 1:28 heh looks like a porcupine lol

  • very brave woman at the end

  • Sorry for pointing this out, but I find it rather strange that none of you are shooting with thumb rings, as they did back then.

  • i was about to say the exact same thing.

  • they were made over 5,000 years ago with bronze tools

  • so, no one is going to point out that the woman at the end of the video is taking her life into her hands? she's walking right behind the target, and although i don't doubt the archers accuracy, come on!

  • Hajrá Magyarok!

  • Magyarország és Törökország ! Egy Lélek ! Hajrá Turán!

  • How do you get away with now wearing an armguard? Usally I get a bruse if I don't wear one.

  • it all depends on how you shoot... i don´t use any armguard and have only manage to bruse myself 3-4 times

  • As you can see when they hold their bow, their arm is slightly bent outwards, they don't hold their arm straight out as you do when shooting longbows or recurves.

  • if you learn not to lock your bow arm out and keep your elbow slightly bent, it keeps the arm away from the string.

  • There's a lot.

  • thats awsome where is that

  • not gay , but i agree they could scip the hats(=

  • idézet: "Magyarok nyilaitól ments meg uram minket!"

  • The little "shoo" sounds are funny. haha

    Gawd legolas makes this look so easy

  • it looks like they arent even trying

  • Hei!

    Du er fra Sverige, sant? Da kan vi kommunikere på norsk også, som jeg snakker litt i gran.

    I begynnelsen ungarere skjytte fra hesten, men i senere mitelalteren, det vil si i 15-16 tallet de hadde også gående bowmen, som ikke ridde på hesten og kanskje i begynnelsen også.

    Jeg har ikke hest, så jeg må bare bli på jorden!

    Ha det bra! Hilsen: János

  • isn't traditonal hungarian archery from horse?

  • Huns, avars, türks, magyars (hungarians) have the same roots.

  • That style of the clothing and weapons looks exactly the same as ours (kazakh). Btw the house ( we call it jurt looks similar as well)

  • we call this house "jurta". we are "magyar" people and there are "madjars" in kazakhstan - brothers and sisters of ours. google "kurultaj", it is an annual meeting of the magyar people from all around the world.

  • plus they shot them from horseback

  • the huns recurve was way better at penetrating armor than the english long bow hands down thats y it was soooooooooooooo feared

  • lol didnt the english longbow penetrate french plate armor during the 100 year war in the 1400s? Cant really compare the two bows there 100s of years apart LOL. also is the mongol bow the same as the hun cause the mongol bow was known to go through european chainmail.

  • actually it is 'thousands of years apart'. any asian design recurve is superior to the primitive longbow.

  • bow is fucking nice!!

  • by the way, turks and maygars come frome the same roots!! magyars and turks has in the past the same culture, the same war tactics, and the same weapons!!

  • they are both Turanian and that pretty much sums it up :D

  • this bow, is typical bow from the central asia, its not turk or magyar, this bow is CENTRAL ASIAN BOW!! turks and magyars are borthers. bloodbrothers!!

  • There was a documentary on the Ottoman bow, that it was the fastest of all bows. Very similiar to Hungarian bow I think. After all, both are descendants of the Hunnic tribes.

  • The Ottomans did not only fight Hungarians but Mongols too. Timurlenk wanted unity but also wanted to lead the Ottomans, brother fought brother.

    Sometimes politics takes over, and in the case of Turks-Hungarians, it was in the interests of the Pope and others.

  • surely ottoman bows...

    if im right??

  • hungarian bows, they are earlyer than ottoman, from 800 - 900 AD

  • they both come from the same source, ural mountains

  • ppl say that hungarian, huns and the likes came from the Ural mountains, even tho, i believe, noone ever found traces of human life in the Ural... I'd say that Turanian people came from central-eastern Asia to eastern Europe, but I dont think they lived in the Ural mountains. Correct me if I'm wron, I'm not entirely sure.

    Awesome video bye the way, I've just started taking Baranta lessons, I love it!

  • i do not know any particular city there. but roots comes from somewhere over there. anyways, turks and magyars come from the same root. we should be able to leave aside the religion and cooperate. i want to see a stronger hunagry.

  • I WANT THOSE HATS!!

    :D:D:D

  • There are several different types of bows on this vid. May ybe we can call some or one of them ottoman bow, but thee is at least one tukish bow, that was used int the 13-16 century; there is a middle avarish bow on the vid, that was used in the 5-6 century, probably more, and I gess some of the magyars had alsothe same type. An there is one magyar bow o in this vid, which looks ebsolutely like hungarian bows that were found in old hungarian tombs.

  • hungarian kingdom was around long before the ottomon empire was these are magyar bows

  • lol there was no hungaria before 5000 years. so youare dreaming my friend.. but there turks in the world 5000years so learn some!!!!!

  • hungarians were around for more than 5000 years that is why hungarian is one of the oldest languages in europe , we may of not lived in europe but , around the urals and siberia most likely

  • the "Turk" name appeared in 546 AD, the Hungarian "Magyar" name in 527 AD. so no one is more older than the other (in the matter of fact, we are a little older than you). believe me I know this because I have my PH in this! and do not insult Hungarians! they are keeping alive this tradition, you just talking but you do not do anything to keep it alive!

  • how about you learn some english before posting stuff without any solid foundation?

  • what do you guys want  you want me to lie comeon..

  • @balikci035

    idiot.....

  • these are ottoman bows

  • @love2understand

    NO COMMENT....

  • hun-mongols..

  • would you mind to be less pathetic? thanx

  • dont mix huns and mongols..

  • Depends what qualities you're looking for. Longbows are better for the Northern European climate and have better range (and carry their power better over longer ranges), but composite have greater power at closer ranges and are much easier to handle. Take your pick.

  • I don't know about Longbows, but with our Magyar Reflex-bows, Magyars in the 9th-10th century were able to perform aimed shots at 500 metres, and i think the maximum distance at wich it could kill was 800 metres

  • That's a very long distance, I was under the impression that 800N longbows could just about reach the 500m mark.

    I may be wrong.

  • I'm not sure about that, but that's what i learned at school, and my History teacher knows this stuff pretty good... I'm too lazy, but if you want you can do some research on it... If you do let me know :D thx

  • These bows were used way before 900's, how about the english-welsh longbows? I'd say around 1100-1200, but I'm not sure, and these magyar bows were feared across europe at the time :D Dotn get me wrong, english longbows are a marvel too, but I prefer magyar

  • cserkesztaborban volt utoljara a kezemben eredeti magyar ij, de az felejthetlen volt asszem ha joll emlekszem 32 vagy tobb fontos volt szoval rendesen megszenvedtunk vele. Jo a vidi

  • wants one!!!

  • wow man this is nice!

    Greetings Turkish

  • im half hungarian :)

  • Never forget about it!:))))

  • i never will.

    i might be getting a hungarian bow for christmas tho!

  • your hungarian history: zero....

  • Hát, szívesen meghallgatom a te verziódat ...

  • Nem az Ural mögötti területekről jöttek a magyarok errefelé, valahonnan ázsiai irányból? A kettős honfoglalás elmélete ma is létező. Tényleg elég gyorsan történt a letelepedés, mégha sokáig meg is maradtak a nomád életforma elemei. A magyarok különböző törzsek szövetségeként érkeztek ide, nem?

  • A Kárpát medencében pedig tényleg nem egy egységes nemzettel találták szemben magukat, hanem kisebb közösségekkel, nem? Akiket nem egyszerűen leigáztak - beolvadtak. Mi tudok rosszul?

  • theyre dressed like huns lol.

  • Yes! That time people from the East had quite the similar clothing. And some here in Hungary say, that huns and hungarians have the same origin of their nation. It was taken as fact through almost our whole history. Some say, and I can accept it: Hungarians came to their home two times: First together with the huns.

  • i thought the huns are from like kazakstan and mongolia? hungarians are more like serbians originally i thought, but they intermixed with central asian huns. and than after they took it over they named it hungaria.

  • Hungarians came from the place behind URAL mountain - actually more or less the same path than the huns. We call ourselves "magyar", becouse the old hungarian nation was a gathering of several small nations holding together, and the strongest was the "magyar" nation. They came here from the far east, from somewhere in Asia. They were nomads, so they did not have a specified "home-land". At least not the way we talk about "homelands" today. But serbians are an absolutely different nation.

  • oh sorry i thought serbia was next to hungary.

  • It doesn't matter where Serbia nowadays is on the map. 1100 years ago, when hungarians came to this place, there was no serbia at all. There were very small nations lived here quite separately from eachother. When hungarians came to this place these very small nations inmixed themselves into hungarians. So they were not wiped out, or killed by the hungarians, but involved or sg like that. Look further!

  • The whole process was very fast, and some scientists say it was becouse when hungarians came here there were "old" hungarians already from the previous incoming - a few hundred years before. Hungarians have found not only unknown nations here. That's why they managed to transform their nomad life-form to a kind of feudalist life-form, or pick the new life-form up that fast.

  • Why nobody is using a thumb release?
