Top Vorstellung. Muss man diesen Bogen abspannen , oder kann man ihn gespannt lassen ?
I was able to buy 48" 45 lbs at 31" Black Cat for 100 euro during Black Friday.
Nice review, thank you very much. I buyed this bow in 20# (For beginning with Speedshooting and trying around some kinds of draw) and the arrow is so much faster as with my 20# recurve.
I read Malta is always ringing bells,, Now I no it's true,, lol
can you review Epic Zan Tradisional bow, this bow i think very great to review
👍👍👍👏👏👏😄
Late response but can you do a review of the Kaya Black Cat? I have ordered a 46 inch 45#
왜냐구? 터키가 원래는 대한민국 가까이에 살면서 동맹국 이였는데, 현제 지역으로 이동했습니다. 기원전 대한민국의 고대 지배계급은 중앙아시아 국가들( 터키, 헝가리, 카자흐스탄, 투르키스탄, 위그루, 몽골)과 같은 문명으로 문화와 유물을 공유 하였고, 한반도에 고대 가야국의 첫번째 왕은 해양을 통해온 인도 공주와 결혼하여 불교문화와 이주민이 유입 되었고, 농경 원주민들과 함께 여러 과정을 통해 발전하여 현제 대한민국이 되었습니다. 결론적으로 인근에 살던 터키는 서쪽으로 멀리 갔고, 고려(조선)는 동남쪽으로 이동하여 한반도의 대한민국이 되었습니다.
Kaya bows are actually used on Chorean Archery Schools. In a vid from one Chorean Archery School, they explained: In competitions they normally use a real horn bow, of this style, but for training in the school, they use Kaya bows, with carbon… Still, a few, also use Kaya carbon bows for the competitions… They shoot 145 meters, in training and in competitions…
Another vid from Chorea said: In Chorea the people never stopped shooting bows, so they have the "unbroken line of archery techniques", from the "Stone Age Hunters"…
Unlike many other nations, in which archery was banned for a few centuries, one or several times, "after a new King had invaded, and had taken the power"… Then it was simply ilegal to make and own any kind of weapons, so only "the kings' men" and his army, were armed… But a few centuries later, the people no longer "protested the rulership", and then archery, was again allowed… However, then most had forgotten "the old ways, from their own nation", and needed to "revive archery"… Often by reading books from other nations…
Even when Chorea has the "unbroken line of archery", they use several different ways of doing the kathra (khastra), and some use the "STRING TWIST" too…
While drawing the string, the string hand is rotated, so the thumb press the string to the right, below the arrow, and the "first bone" on the pointer finger, near the "root joint", press the string to the left, above the arrow… So the string "zig-zag"… You need to keep a good distance, between the arrow and the fingers, so the thumb is almost two cm below, and the root of the pointer finger press in the same distance above…
Then the arrow nock is "in line with the string"…
While the middle of the pointer finger, press lightly to the arrow, to keep it in place on the bow… And it is the "Long Finger" which assists the thumb, by pressing on its tip… Then it looks like the pointer finger "just lay relaxed, down over the thumb".
Then they have a leather (skin) protection "glove", which only covers the "the root joint" of the pointer finger, where it press hard to the string, and the finger, out till the "first joint", where the string slides, against the finger…
I simply made a "skin ring", 2 cm wide, from front to rear, with a piece of 4 by 2,5 cm thick leather sewn on, and that works perfectly… The stiches through the leather, goes in and comes out, on the "under side side", by simply bending the leather strip, while pressing the straight needle though, so no thread comes to the upper side, where the string will slide over it…
Without that protection, it HURTS, when the string slide along the pointer finger…
The "string twist", hinders, that the thumb push the string and arrow, to the right side, after which, it will bounce back, passing "neutral" and comes to the left side, and will come closer to the bow, while passing…
That "starts the fishtailing motion", but when using proper string twisting, the arrow leaves the bow, totally straight…
You can best see the result, when practising, only 2 meter from the target…
While doing the string twist, they also use the "forward kathra", and the "wrist jerk" to the left…
But I saw none, who "assisted the sideways Khastra (Kathra)", by "trowing the string hand back, to point to the rear"… When "forcing the string hand fast back, in an arch, to the rear", you force the bow arm and hand a bit to the left… That is obviously "not needed", when performing the basic kathra correctly…
While "forward kathra" CAN be enough, to avoid the arrow hits the bow, and is "most easy to learn", then the "wrist jerk" is much harder to learn, and both techniques, can only be done well, with short and lightweight bows…
But the "string twist", can be done on any bow, if you draw with the thumb…
In theory, you can also make a "string twist", when shooting with three fingers, in which case, you shall press the thumb hard, against the string, above the arrow…
Then you might draw with the three fingers under the arrow, and press the thumb hard against the string, above the arrow…
Again, "keep a distance to the arrow end", like 1,5 or 2 two cm from it…
Armin has shown the "string twist", but did not explain "why it works"…
Using an efficiant Khastra, is even more important on the traditional Chorean bows, as they have a wider "arrow pass", than most other "Asian bows"… And also have a rather low string height..
Greetings and thanks, to you, Armin, for spreading the knowledge, about traditional "Asian Archery", and for all your fine bow reviews…
I will suggest, you make a new vid, about Khastra, (Kathra), and explain to all, "why the String Twist helps"…
Note: Khastra / Kathra, simply means "cast throw", said as "Cast'thro", meaning "cast shot"… Like "Siyahs" simply means "The Ears", said as "Th'ears"…
Kind regards to you, and all, from Dan in Denmark
Freddie bow and kaya bow witch one the best
