[ergunayral91]

[ahmet910]

cok guzel +10

[NerdFury]

wow, thumb release seems really cool! i wonder, is such a pull possible at high bow weights (say 100# or more)?

[adyona]

@NerdFury

Yes. Check the videos of gokmenpasha...

i m a compound shooter and i tried thumb shooting with my mongolian bow, i like it very much only my thumb is hurting cos the string keep hitting the top of my thumb , i want to know if its normal reaction cos i m not use to or my technique is not yet good? thank you

[adyona]

Hi,

This is either due to your technique or due to the shape of your thumbring. A video of yourself shooting would help at making a better judgement.

[neomauresque]

i think is a both :) ! i see also there is a different type of thumb rings , some ottoman's bronz rings you put them just on the top of the thumb , i see you put it on the lower part of your thumb, is there any difference ? thank you

[MrSnorreke]

Murat, can you tell me is this war bow, looks heavier than bows i see in some museums.

Greets from Serbia

[adyona]

Murat publishes under the name abdulkabza, this is Adnan. The bow is a 65 pounder Grozer Extra III...

[MrSnorreke]

@adyona Thank you for the replay.

[waterpoodle43]

[adyona]

Go to grozerarcherydotcom...

[waterpoodle43]

thank you very much! and do you know where i could get a nice thumb ring?

[adyona]

We do our own.

[celuler22]

that disin gives it a faster snap back

[neomauresque]

just beautifull. i realy would like to learn thumb shooting

[wwood14]

How many pounds is the bow. Very nice..

[adyona]

65 lbs...

[Hailingflames]

turkish bows seem very strong

[archeraval]

Murat! Magyar barátaid üdvözölnek! :)

[merkonerko2]

lol, i honestly can't fire like that! the only way that i can ever get any decent shots, is by firing with my two fingers (index and middle)

[kutanay]

hocam vurduğunuz hedefleride görebilir miyiz? bu okları kendinizmi yapıyorsunuz? birde ben bunlardan bir tane edinmek istiyorum...

[adyona]

Profilimde "accuracy and groupings" adında bir video var, oraya bakın. Bilgi için profilimdeki websitesini ziyaret edebilirsiniz.

[SonofBenevolence]

Could you tell me what the difference is regarding a turkish thumb ring compared to others? I have a scythian bow, which is similar to the turkish, and I would like to know the best type of ring and technique to use.

Thanks

[adyona]

Sorry for not having replied. The best place to ask this question would be the Atarn forum. We tend to get specialised in everything Turkish. I would guess that there are only morphological differences, the mechanics of ring shooting should not change...

[5tonyvvvv]

i know horn and sinew is used,but what kinds of bow woods are used?also how old is this the composite bow 6,000years

[adyona]

Maple. The bow in the video is a Grozer replica, so not older than 5 years...

[adyona]

Sorry the bow in this video is actually a composite... but still not older than 5 years... Dont know how long it took Csaba Grozer to build it though...

[bournefreak]

Hey where can i get one of these turkish bows?

[adyona]

We bought them from Grozer, however one of our members has recently started to build fiberglass replicas.

[5tonyvvvv]

are there any single stave turkish bows,that are not composite

[kravitshalom747]

Awesome!!!

[DiVeronica]

why do you have the arrow on the right side of the bow

[adyona]

In order to have a better clearance. The arrow leaves the bow with minimum, if not none at all contact when on the right.

[DiVeronica]

interesting

[adyona]

Training with someone up close is always better!

[adyona]

The trick is, not to use the ring as some sort of string pulling tool. The ring is only there to protect your thumb. You actually push the string away from the riser by applying pressure to it with your thumb, you do not pull with it. Thats the fundamental difference between the two techniques (three fingers and thumb release). Send a pm if you have more questions.

[5tonyvvvv]

do u know any thing about amazon palmwood bows?..also do u wear a forearm guard

[adyona]

No, not really. And we dont use armguards.

[HermesDo]

why should you? i dont either.

[Estonian7]

Yeah...And lemme correct,too.They'r not longbows.:D

[johnjayrambo11111]

nice bow nice shooting

[chetaloris1]

how hard can those tradional longbows shoot?

[DennyAgassi]

Are they really that heavy???

[adyona]

yep

[DennyAgassi]

Wow..That's like...half of my weight!

[adyona]

There are actually much heavier Turkish bows as well as English Longbows.

[PuzzlingWonder]

That's not their weight, he means the pull-strength... Pull-strength is a measure of how much power there is in a bow shot. Longbows are excellent examples of overpowered bows, especially during Medieval times, when English bows could have pull strengths of 150-200lbs.

[adyona]

Ahh, never thought that he meant it that way! :D

[nyssoooo]

fast

[Britanicai]

Is Dr. Ozveri shooting the Grozer TRH Turkish or regular Turkish bow?

[adyona]

It is a 65lb Grozer Turkish hornbow as mentioned in the info of this page...

[Britanicai]

oh, i see. i just got a TRH 55lb Turkish recently. One of the best purchases made so far.

[basesku]

how much does it cost?

[ssviator]

wow hes fast

[AltanHan1453]

Nerde böyle yay bulunabilir ?

[argirotoxos92]

hi gys i think i can shoot an arrow in 4 sec so 4 arrows are 16 secs

[NOTRAYYY]

Orijinals of this bows are not for sale. You must find a real kemanger(ottoman bowyer).

[TURKBOSNA]

I would like to buy this kind of bow, anyone who has one for sale?

[abdulkabza]

Hi Jeremy,

Last year, in the "speed shooting" part of Gödeny Kupa (Hungary) I shot 6 arrows under 20 sec (guess 16 secs) by taking each arrow from the quiver one by one.

If your nock are not too tight, if the arrows are fletched with 4 feathers and especially if you hold the spare arrows in the draw hand you could reload faster.

Of course accuracy matters too. Such techniques must've been used in very close distances, probably 15 m max.

[TamrHaKashat]

Hello Doc!

Have you timed your shooting?

How many arrows can you release in what amount of time?
