as an additional comment on the khatra, there are many form a.k.a positions of korean khatra exist in the archery clubs... some of them do khatra by drawing side line of their bows from releasing arrow, but some of them have their bows hang down just like up and down... but commonly the term for calling all of the diversity form of korean khatra is called go-za che gi(고자채기)
I've been looking for stuff on Korean archery for a little bit now, and I think your video here might help me with getting the khatra down right 🤔 I've tried Saracen style khatra, but tbh, it hasn't proven terribly effective for me and there's a lot more "movement" to it from my perspective... which is slightly problematic considering I'm an aspiring bowhunter, and extra movement isn't a good idea when you're hunting. 😅 In any case, thanks for putting this out there! Cheers!
I order a Korean bow ... I have never even seen one up close or nearby.... -question : > I’m a right hand shooter ( I hold the bow with my left hand ...) ist wrong to rest the arrow on the left side bow ? Or does it need to rest on the right side of bow ... If is ok to rest arrow on left side of bow ... do I torque fe bow to opposite of your demonstration ?
You can shoot however you want; that being said, if you want to use this torque to move the bow out of the way of your arrow, you probably want to put the arrow on the right side of the bow for a right handed archer. If the arrow is on the left, you have to rotate the bow clockwise (when looking down onto the bow, which is the opposite direction as shown in the video), which will turn the string into your arm and probably slap you and dirty the shot.
In China,Korea and Japan, people shoot arrow with thumb ( with a thumb ring which hook the string). Position of string is on the right side of the thumb,so the arrow rests on the right side of the bow. If your drawing was just like shooting a recurve bow (with three fingers), the position of the string is on the leftside of your fingers ,then you should rest the arrow on the left side of the bow. So , rest the arrow on th left side or right side is not depending on the bow. It is depending on your drawing.
Ooh I don't know how I feel about this😮 As a Korean who practice traditional archery, I really respect your enthusiasm in learning about bows around the world and I am excited to see you talking about Korean archery as it is a huge part of our culture. I am certain you know a LOT more about khatra technique then me seeing how I learned that word today from you😆 That said, I am not sure if Korean archery really fits in the definition of khatra technique at least in the way you describe it. I don't know where you got your information from so I can't say much, but in Korean archery your arm that holds the bow should never be bent. Also, when we draw the bow string, we push the bow with our palm at the same time. Picture your hand pushing against a wall with your fingers pointing upwards. Then, without moving your hand, turn your arm inward as much as possible so your elbow is facing upward. In that state your arm physically won't be able to bend. That's how we push against our bow so I can't really imagine our wrist having much room to rotate? If it works for you and you are just having fun with Asian bows, I don't see any problem. Consider this an unsolicited two cent for informational purposes😄
Honestly I feel it is like a normal follow through, I draw the bow exactly as what you described, by the time I release, my left hand/arm just has a small rotation/moving left,that is enough to "form" khatra in my experience😄 And I don't actually grab the bow tightly, I only barely hold the bow in place to let my fingers as relaxed as possible, not sure if you feel the same way, it seems working better for me than grabbing the bow tightly with 3 fingers
This was immensely helpful, thank you so much for posting!
Keep up the good work I don’t know where you get the facts fron
I love the way you release the arrow

I'm just having fun with Asiatic bows, but i am interested to read your comments. Most welcome. 🙏

我完全没看出来这是韩弓。你被骗了吧？
It's not Korean's... But Japanese' style.
Japan has not any composite bow cultures.
