    Thank you for showing some of the technique that is used for this form of
    archery shooting. I know that it is not magic to do what is done on this
    video. I have shot a bow and arrow since the age of 12 and this ability to
    shoot while jumping or falling or even reloading while moving is magic to
    me. It takes me 5 seconds or so for me to shoot my fastest with an aimed
    arrow that is already nocked. Your skills astound me.

    This is meant to show the advantages of thumbrelease. The shot stability is
    one of the advantages that helped horseback archers shoot more comfortably,
    but it is not the only purpose. Even on foot, real combat requires shooting
    in instable positions, on move or from inproper stances. However, yes,
    those are very fine ground exercises for horseback archery.

    Jumping and still hitting the bull eye. That was totally awesome. And you
    look a lot fitter in this video too. What was the bow used?

    Thank you! One of the two bows (the one I shoot) is Grozer Turkish model.
    The other one, shot by my colleague in historical outfit (Akın Öğretici) is
    a bow made by a Turkish bowyer. Both bowsa re made of synthetic materials.

    Fantastic video, I need to learn how to shoot with the thumb-release. If
    I’m going to use Turkish-style bows, I might as well learn to shoot them
    properly :-)

    Couldnt do this with a compound. That’s whats so fun about tradgear. And
    before someone starts dicking around, I shoot compounds.

    It is a Grozer Turkish lamimnated bow. About compounds: They are incredible
    shooting machines but for most archery enthusiasts (at least for me) they
    can not be considered as bows. If it comes to traditional bowa as a
    practical weapon of war and hunting accuracy may not be the most important
    thing all the time.

    Hello! Our club members are getting their bows from Grozer. Some bows made
    by Mehmet Golhan are still in use within the group but recently we faced
    some severe twisting problems with those.

    Selamlar!. I just wanted to ask you something. I’m in izmir now and I want
    to buy a turkish traditional bow, do you know someone in Turkey that makes
    good and cheap bows?. I know grozer bows, but grozer turkish bows are a bit
    out of my budget. Tesekkurler!
