@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
I just wanted to say that this is a great segment. i love the background
nomadic steppe music. also i love everything about it. definatley post the
rest! i subbed
Loved the video. Long live the archery of the steppe forever. I wish it
would be a national sport in Hungary as well. but it’s not. Yet Watch
out guys we are behind you, and getting near….
@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 video.
These are real archers.

@linhvienthai Im very dissapointed at mongolia, they ruined baghdad in its
best days.. what a shame
i want to see one of ther archers at the olymipics with one or there
traditional bows going against theose fancy high tech recurves
Where can I see your complete film ?
those arent recurve bows..those are mechanical gadgets!!
They’re so rich in archery skills that they do it sleeping!
Great film! I’m so going to compete in this tournament someday when I have
the money to fly out to Mongolia.
Great Video..are there any Mongol style teachers in the USA? Thanks
Странно, они по разному кладут стрелу и позволяют тянуть тетиву не одним
большим пальцем.
Good to know thanks
Awesome!
