    @tobyselfbows Thanks for the comment! This was a section from my film, I
    would like one day to do an entire documentary just on Mongolian Archery.
    Thanks again for the comment; much appreciated.

    @linhvienthai that is very interesting, how did you come to posess these
    bows? as you stated, these actual “nadaam” bows do not seem for sale over
    the internet or anything. the only way it would appear to get your hands on
    one would be through someone like you or by actually going to mongolia…
    great vid

    @colddrake80 Thanks for enjoying my video. If you ever go to Mongolia, let
    me know. I can arrange to have you personally meet these archery champions
    and shoot with them. They are my friends…

    @ilikesuzuki Hun bows don’t have the string bridge against which the string
    hits when it is released. The brigdes shorten the string at the very last
    moment before the arrow leaves the bow and thus concentrates the remaining
    force more sharply – giving the arrow “a kick” right before it leaves the
    bow. This supposedly increases the velocity and range of the arrow.

    @linhvienthai the name “Mongol” was first recorded in the VIII century,
    several centuries after Huns empire era. Before the Mongols appearance, the
    North Asia steppe was home to various Altaic empires: Xianbei, Xiong Nu,
    Gokturk, Khitan-Liao

    @ilikesuzuki Hunnish bows have a longer upper limb while Mongol bows are
    symmetrical. Composite bows have been around for over 2000 years. The
    Scythians and Assyrians used them. It’s probably impossible to find out for
    sure who “first” developed them. Ethnicity was a very fluid concept back
    then (as now).

    Great film! I’m so going to compete in this tournament someday when I have
    the money to fly out to Mongolia.

    Странно, они по разному кладут стрелу и позволяют тянуть тетиву не одним
    большим пальцем.
