@@a-macthegeneral4705 this was a friends of mine who has sadly passed away now

@@journeywitharrows2742 oh man, I’m sorry to hear that brother, God on you for keeping his memory alive by shooting his bow!

@@willong1000 hello there 😁 in the UK here it is illegal to hunt with a bow and arrow, so nope we dont. We just kill the rubber targets haha

@@journeywitharrows2742 I appreciate the reply. Actually, I did not realize that bow hunting was prohibited in the UK. While the cost and logistics of foreign hunting were never a good match to my resources, I've associated with several bow hunters who hunted foreign lands*. Given Brits' proximity and easy access to Europe, I thought perhaps some of your numbers might hunt countries on the continent, if not even farther afield. Here in the USA, bow-hunting remains legal in all fifty states, though the seasons, game species, and regulations vary considerably from state to state. Originally motivated by additional hunting opportunities--a general license in the 1970s in my state permitted hunting in modern firearms seasons as well as archery-only seasons--I took up bow hunting in the late 1970s. I was active into the latter half of the 1980s, even owning and operating my own shop over that span until a financial crisis in the timber industry, which had supported the majority of my customers, caused me to change careers and go to work across several other states. It was the nature of the woodland in your video's thumbnail that first caught my interest. Our local club's field course meanders through somewhat similar terrain, though in a forest predominately coniferous. I miss that shooting pastime, but I miss tracking elk (Cervus canadensis roosevelti) through old-growth rainforest even more! * In addition to having friends and customers who hunted in other countries, I remember selling compound bow, arrows, and associated tackle in the 1980s to a German fish biologist passing through our area, and also to the son of a famous Sudanese hunting outfitter. Dacey, the latter customer, was working as a pilot for a regional airline in our area, having left Sudan in the wake of civil war that erupted there in 1983.

​@@willong1000thats incredible! I am a traditional archer at heart, i have shot compound but i get zero enjoyment out of it in all honesty. I know of no one personally who travels over seas to hunt with a bow but i know for a fact people do. I am all for being sustainable and self sufficent and i feel as though here in the uk we should addopt the same kind of infrastructure as you do over there so that we can. The only thing is the biggest thing we have over here is a deer to wonder our woods ha. Otherwise its just gonna be alot of rabbits, hare and game birds ha. For eating anyways. I would love to track elk one day but i highly dowbt i could ever afford a Tag for an elk never mind the logistics of getting there. But its on my bucket list, and it would deff fill my freezer for the year!!

@@journeywitharrows2742 I've no notion of your finances, of course, but a non-resident license to hunt big game in some USA states might be more affordable than you anticipate. Here in Washington State, the fee for a non-resident "Archery Elk" license this year is less than USD 500 (a resident's cost is $50.90). Unlike the western Canadian provinces, most US states do not require that a non-resident hire a guide/outfitter, and they do not gouge foreign hunters for an additional fee. Like most bowhunters that I knew in the 1980s, I opted for a compound so I could have a reduced holding weight on higher draw-weight bows*. The last compound I actively hunted with peaked at 80 pounds, but let-off to 56 pounds with the way I had it configured. (I could have had a 50% reduction but went with just 30% for more arrow speed and a cleaner release with gloved fingers.) I shot with fingers rather than a mechanical release because I wanted to have more control of the arrow in actual hunting conditions. With the intent of simplifying my tackle and considerably reducing the actual carry weight of the bow and the brush-snagging rigging of cables, wheels, etc. on the compound, I had already purchased a Martin ML-14 Longbow when the financial downturn hit. Unfortunately, that bow remains unfired today. I never built arrows for it, let alone the backpack I had designed that incorporated bottom-exit quiver tubes as part of its frame. * Higher draw weight to drive arrows faster, produce flatter trajectories and increase penetration. Today, while there are fewer elk in the region I previously hunted due to changes in timber management on federal lands, the hunting conditions for one who enjoys tracking and stalking in wilderness and wilderness-like conditions are actually improved from the road-webbed patchwork of old growth and clear-cuts of the 1980s. (Clear-cut lands produce more forage for ungulates for several years until the conifer reproduction canopy closes and blocks sunlight to understory grass, forbs, and brush species.) I'm not a guide/outfitter. I share a little information with individuals whom I think might have similar interests and an appreciation of hunting challenging game in wild places. I've been assisting a couple hunters from a Midwestern state who will be hunting Roosevelt Elk this September in the region I hunted when much younger. Let me know if you'd be interested in doing the same in a future season. I will return to this comment to edit and delete portions of it after I hear from you.

@@willong1000 too true!! Haha

It really was a fantastic day!

@@buddy22801012 hello there 😁 my bow is 52lbs at 30" . We train from lower draw weights to build up strength the same as you would fingers. We still cabale of drawing 100lbs + , i shoot with a gent who is currently pullying 130lbs thumbdraw :) i will make a video 😁

@@journeywitharrows2742 Curious as to what you use on your thumb. I’ve seen bone thumb releases and leather. What’s your recommendation? My release was always my weakness as I tend to drag my ring finger and have a tendency to twist my ring finger slightly outward unless completely focused on my release. I have numerous recurves from 45# to 65#? Thank you!

@@buddy22801012 i use Vermils victory ring. I would always recommend a metal one for durability. But i do like using a horn one. Leathet tabs are fine for lower draw weights but i find them to be not comfortable for higher draw weights. I will do a video on the equipment i use

@@normantighe5420 small world! Apologies for making you home sick but also am glad i could instill some memmories and help you relive it 🙏 hopefully one day you can get back behind the bow 😁 . I will be waiting 😁

@@derekjones45 true 🙏 atleast it lasts 👌😁

@@benpriestman4015 many thanks! Yep and purely to save time from repairing smashed arrows or buying new ones again ha

@@tobysatterfield340 the new trend😁👌

@@johnf3f810 thank you!😁🙏

@@simosantiago agreed! They did a great job! So for a NFAS 3D shoot its usually 5-6 people in a group, however for a rove, its usually how ever many people you can fit on the line haha

@@journeywitharrows2742 I didn’t know about roves (good to know). I just subbed. Can’t wait to see more of your adventures Sir. Btw, I really enjoyed your filming style and commentary. It really felt like I was there with you. Keep it coming.

@@simosantiago thank you very much! This means alot! Thanks 😁👌 a rove is usually done in fields and over trees, i have never done one under the trees before 😁

@@superfluity many thanks for having us!! Truely was great 👌😁

@@aimiheywood4952 thank you 😁🙏 this was my favourate

@@RS_ thank you!! Was so much fin to film and edit!

@@comfusedpassanger3399 manu thanks!! Yes it was a great day! And i too will always stick with the asiatic bows although i do occasionally shoot english warbow aswell. Eastern archery is where my hearts at 🙏. I do own a Hankyu, the slightly smaller version of a Yumi, its a very challeneging bow to shoot but very rewarding, i too would like to add a full yumi to my collection!

@@philipwiles4362 thank you!!

@@pancerny565 or my ankles🤣

She sure does!!

@@Backyard.Archery many thanks! 😁

@@TakalBrothers it was amzing!

@@Thumb.Shooter thank you! It sure was haha!!!

@@palmer3977 we are all learning 😁👌

Maybe one day you can join us!

Hahaha brilliant 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you ! I am glad you like the video 😁👌

It was incredible! I love demonstrating asiatic/eastern archery. And i also love traditional longbow ect. The course was great!

Thank you! Yes it was amazing! I cant wait to go back!

Much love Miguel!

This bow is called the Griffin. Its a 9th/10th century design of the Magyar bow, and was made by Paragon Bows. My draw weight is 52lbs at 30"

@journeywitharrows2742 What's the draw at 28? is thus your main bow? I've been looking at the Paragon bows

@@derekjones45 at 28" its 42lbs :) it isindeed my main bow. Still going strong. Fantastic bows with paragon!

Many thanks! Was truely a great day! Keep at it 😁 its just practice practice 😁
