Good strength. I posted a video response of my little trick for training heavier draw weights.

@ArrowFetcher Thanks, I approved your video response. I do the same btw. 60+60 lbs=120 lbs. But I cant do it with my high poundage bows (110 lbs+100 lbs=210lbs.....). You can also wrap rubber sport bands around the grip, which can increase drawweight another 30 lbs. Keep pulling and shooting.

Amazing how it is visible that this bow has very strong poundage. I am affraid that i could never pull it and shoot two arrows with this bow;-)5/5

[gokmenpasha]

Say never never, it is all about regular training. I encourage you to train with heavier bows. What is your bow's current poundage? You can do strength exercises with your current bow too.. cheers

Good stuff!

@gokmenpasha You do the same? Cool, I thought of it one day and wondered who else might have thought of it as well. Simple and effective. My max is probably around my two longbows, which equals 130#@28", but my form starts to fall apart pulling so much and I can't do it for extended periods of time. I am surprised you did this here 57 times, you can tell it is a good draw on your first go, but you continue anyway, good stamina. Please explain the rubber support bands in more deatail.

@gokmenpasha

thats funny cause I´am the opposit,... dont shoot much, few times in a year :-).

My plan was to build a turkish flight bow, but its not easy, so I never finished it.

I like your bow, can you handle a stronger bow as well?

I´am living in vienna and on countryside, so this topic is very exiting for me :-)).

Have seen few old bows, bootys from turkish conquest.

Unfortunately I never shoot one.

Greetings

@DonRubinjo Thanks, no I dont make my bows. Making Turkish type hornbows is a full time job. If I chose that I wouldnt have time to train and to do archery. I am rather the shooter than the bow builder. But I make the rest of my equipment e.g. thumbrings, Turkish arrows, bow and arrow quiver and even the historic Ottoman costume. Are you doing archery? cheers

@gokmenpasha

Marshallah, ... nice exersice, you make your own bow???

[MrSnorreke]

@gokmenpasha Thank you friend. my bow's poundage is 55lb, i do not draw over it. I am impressed by your Crimean tatar 'cause i prepare myself to build my own, will see about poundage,but what makes me trouble is the grip, i have measurements i get from some turkish friends but grip is a bit different than in flight bows. What i am most interested are war/infantry bows, i love replicas.

Again, thank you for encouraging me about using heavier bows.
