much respect for the traditional bow and its users. i used to shoot a
longbow.. fricken hard. compound bows are different and in my opinion
easier to operate. i would love to start shooting with the traditional bow
get back to the roots of archery :p
As an anthropologist, I can tell you that the left/right distinction is
made by everyone, and almost universally, people tend to favour the right
hand. It’s not just Arabs or Muslims who think of the left hand as taboo –
historically, this belief has been found throughout Europe, Africa, Asia,
and the Americas. I’m not sure how true it is of modern Korea, however! The
distinction tends to fade with modernity.
in modern korea, it is no one’s concern what hand you use. But Finalshot62
had a point when he said that, because the some parts of middle east is the
only place where people stick to such old doctrines without modifying to
fit with the modern times.
i was wondering if that man used a thumb ring? i am new to korean
traditional archery. can you shoot a korean bow without a thumb ring, or do
you have to buy a thumb ring. if so is it the 1 finger on top, 2 on the
bottom principle, or is there a different way of doing it?
Im korean and im not good at English. But i will tell you something about
korean archery…
1. The distance between archer and target is 145m
2. There are About 30 thousand korean archers.
3. Koreans think the archery not only as the weapon for war but also as for
mental training from very long time ago.
4. We use horn bow from at least B.C to now
5. Unlike other nation’s horn bow,(china, mongolia…) ours are very small
and very flexible. But too weak when the wheather is humid. So ancesters
used bows covered with lacquer…
6. Koreans used many kinds of arrows. But now we use only two types. One is
modern carbon arrows and the other one is traditional bamboo arrows.
I hope i could help you.
There are left handed archers and rigjt handed archers. We dont mind.
And we use thumb ring just like mongolia, turkey. So the arrow rests like
this vedio. And the arrow doesnt drop because of the thumb ring hand. We
squeez the thumb ring hand not to drop tje arrow.
Applause

this is the father of Jet Li
@Armyboypyro lol your exactly correct!
@nomad1545 Thumb ring…
@NoisemakerArrow Does it improve accuracy?
Does anybody know the range in meters?
like turkish bow. awesome !
Korean archery is interesting, it’s very different from English. The way
you mount the arrow, and the release as well.
He’s going to lose an Ear!!!
repeat this video 8 times at 0:41 and you will know why there is 8 dislikes
oO Wait he’s wielding his bow left handed? Thought left-handedness was
taboo over there and frowned upon.
Last I heard it was frowned upon in South Korea since I heard EVERYONE was
forced to wield it righty. Why? Going to call me ignorant because of it?
In most cases I think something between 145 und 165 Metres.
easily 400m. I think the school master at that school has a 450m record.
Great video.
This is really good. Thanks for sharing.

You can do it both ways, but it will be harder since the bow is a a lot
shorter.
