@ katsumorymoron... Are u stupid or something???

[jochoro]

And yes.. I aswell practice kyudo... But is not practical for my hunting style( ground stalking in deep brush)

[jochoro]

Thanks for the advice ... But this video is about thumb ring .... No proper form. I coach all types of archery and yes I did have a surgery that limits my motion with this peticular bow.(I practice to hunt with least amount of "draw movement" as possible).. Thanks for comment

[szubudaj]

this technique is officially called the "Mongolian release" and most archers in Asia are using it......including Koreans

a note on the short draw: with Mongolian release the archer gains 2 inches just from the anatomy of the hand....but in this video the archer still shows an incorrect form in my opinion by dropping the elbow of the drawing hand and raising the wrist in compensation.......which makes it look rather odd in deed

@szubudaj DOES THE TITLE SAY PROPER KOREAN FORM????(HMMM)

[jochoro]

About 45 yards

thanks for the informative video, but could you check on the composer of the music? You have Beethoven, but to me it sounds like Bach's unaccompanied cello.

@NoisemakerArrow Bach's unaccompanied cello ~

If this "bow" were real, then why isn't he a millionaire?

and: Other than that, did you know that kyudo uses a glove with the same indentation as an archery thumb ring. I do both styles (and a bit more)and I want to try the thumb ring once, so that's how I found your video. thnx for sharing

Why don't you use your shoulders? Is that part of the technique, or do you have a shoulder problem? (Just in case you didn't know: using shoulder muscles is way more efficient and uses less strength than when you use your arms, just raise your right elbow above your shoulder when pulling the string).

What's the name of the music?

@jochoro Can i ask why you are shooting the arrow on the right side of the bow and not the left side?
