Turkish Speed Shooting Technique

There are numerous techniques in shooting in a fast sequence with a bow. However, only a few are authentic and there are modern inventions as well. Turkish shooting technique shares some common features with other Asian schools of archery that use the thumb and a thumbring to pull and release the string. In this technique the extra arrows can be held in the string hand and the bow can be loaded from the "opposite" side, fast and efficiently.

I believe that the ring is necessary despite some literature that claims that the best way is shooting without any ring and forming the own calluses. As a contra argumemnt, one of the Tirendaz archers shoot a 50 pound bow without a thumbring and he is quite accurate. I am also against simple leather rings, but again, there is info about their use in the past. My firends an I plan a study to find out the ballistic differences of shooting with and without ring.

Hi! In our group (Tirendaz) we use two models: Grozer Turkish base and Tirendaz. The latter is being made by a member of the group, Mehmet Golhan. He named his bows after our group. There are two types of Tirendaz bows: Standard and Sipahi (a shorter version). The performances of all these three models are satisfactory. They shoot in 160-165 fps range with 9-10 grain/pound arrows which can be considered O.K. for such hobby bows. Please visit our web site for more videos. Best, Murat

dog22boy. Good synthetic material Turkish bow replkicas are made by Mehmet Golhan, an archer in our group and by Hungarian bowyer Csaba Grozer. We shoot bows within 40 to 60 pounds of draw weight (girls shoot 40-45 and boys 50-60). The bow I shoot in this demo is weaker because of a previous tendon injury.

Gabrielkailash. The tecnique you're talking about is called "Mediterennean Release". The tecnique shown here is called "thumb release" (or Mongolian release). You can have a look at my article "Turkish archery, Tackle and Technique" for details at tirendaz.com

@abdulkabza you´re dangerous man hehehe, where to buy the Tirendaz? Are you from Istambul, can i find bows there?

[gabrielkailash]

@abdulkabza i tried the thumb release without the ring it hurts, is the ring necessary?

[gabrielkailash]

@abdulkabza thanks for your tips, i live in Brazil and to order a thumb device is risky as i´m not sure about my thumb size, i always wanted to have a bow like that,which one would you recommend?
