  • Awesome video! I love archery - and these guys do, too. Maybe I should visit Bhutan. Holy crap, these guys are skilled - that looks like about 40 - 100 yards, and they're shooting when people are downrange! Man I envy these guys' skill!

  • hey xychr0, You are Most Welcome to Visit Bhutan ANytime and get a closer look into the Archery Match Played, Bhutan people are Skillful in Archery !!

  • I had some friends stay with me from Bhutan (Kinley and Wangdue) and I took them to an archery supplier, you should have seen their eyes light up when they got their hands on a couple of super modern compound bows.

  • Well Bhutanese People fancy Super Modern Bows and Arrows, I assume they must be Surprised to see the latest Bows

  • smart...sit there and get arrows shot right between you...brilliant.

  • The precise distance is 140 meters

  • @ugyend how do they make these bamboo bows..and what are the draw weight of these bows?

  • Thats freakin crazy!!!

  • why are they standing at the side of the target? they can fcking die...

  • Looks that way, maybe they tiller, balance the limbs, before they fix them together, or making it from one piece has some disadvantage???

  • What does the song said?

    I notice , the bows seem to be two pieces of flat bamboo tied together at the handle...am I right?

    Love the video!

  • Archery is one of my favourite sport

  • the bamboo bow does not have much pull, archers are required to 'ark' the shots which descend towards the target around 130-140 meters distance.

    The modern bows fire at a more straight angel, leading to more fatalities as the arrow path is no easily discernible to the naked eye. much unlike the traditional bamboo bow.

  • people often will stand next to targets that are being fired on.

    In our village, the local joker "often drunk" used to dance around the target, he died 8 years ago from an arrow to the lung.
