- HERE I SHOW HOW MY LEFT SHOULDER IS BIGGER THAN THE RIGHT, YET THE RIGHT BACK IS BIGGER THAN THE LEFT SIDE. MEDIEVAL ARCHERS WERE SOMETIMES SAID TO LOOK LIKE HUNCH BACKS THERE BACK MUSCLES WERE SO BIG.
That righteous beard is the part I'm envious of lol
HA. THANK YEW BALLOWALL. HAVE FUN GARE
One thing I was wondering while watching the video: Do hairs ever get yanked out by the bowstring?
Reminds me of Grombrindal a Warhammer fantasy Dwarf. (in a good - badass way)
No one else notice the Cannabis leaf tattoo on his wrist?

THANK YEW KURIBO.
He gonna skewer your ass with dem arrows if you don't behave.
I liked your comment but had to unlike because it's at "666" and I'm not ready to mess that up
Haha!
Archery helps with my shoulder problems.
e: The lines are called striations, archer santa.
HI SNAFU. SHOULDERS CAN BE A PROBLEM THAT'S FOR SURE. STRIATIONS THAT'S IT.
HO HO HO THANK YEW HAVE FUN GARE
hahaha snafu( situation normal, all fucked up)
Yes, that is the inspiration for my name.
Nice to know, my shoulders are too high even if it is probably less than Gary Chynne. I was curious if archery would make it worse.
Santa? He looks like a god.
During the raising of King Henry VIII`s (8`s) flagship, a number of skeletons were brought up from the deep which were found to be unsymmetrical, that is, the right side was considerably larger than the left side. Also found were a great many English Longbows and thousands of arrows. Due to the conditions where they were found it was realised that the wood was perfectly preserved. Following conservation treatment, some of the bows were tested on a draw-machine. They were found to still have a draw weight of up to 180LBS.
It was realised then that the deformed skeletons were those of the archers themselves. Their deformities were created by repeated back-tension or scapula motion drawing of the bows. The technique was all but lost with the rise of gun use but is the preferred method of bow draw among serious archers today. You could say that the original bow-draw method has been rediscovered. Love ya style dude.
HI DAVE. THANK YEW FOR THE HISTORICAL INPUT. HOPE SOME OTHERS READ IT. TAKE CARE GARE
Can you recommend a book or something about this? Its fascinating!
Dave the Bowman orse
I don't think the technique was lost, however no one drew as heavy of bows as the English archers, excluding crossbows, but it's arguable that they don't count. I think warbows have been 75-100+lbs, as a general rule. Hunting bows: 50-80 lbs is typical, legal minimum in most US states is 35-40, though in AZ it's 30. The strongest hunting bow I've heard of is 100lb with Pope and Young, but I don't see why a warbow couldn't hunt). There are distance bows which can use both feet to draw bows 200+lbs; record distance is abt 2000yd. And as for target bows, it can be as little as 20lbs (25m and shorter) and as much as 54lb, I think.
Should have switched up sides to prevent muscle imbalance. Body building 101.
Gary mate you're famous!!
HI HILBERT. YES SEEMS SO. BUT WE BOTH KNOW WHO WE ARE HILBERT. IT WON'T GO TO OUR HEADS.
THANK YEW MY FRIEND. HAVE FUN GARE
Too true my friend, glad other people are enjoying your videos Gare :)
This is an excellent, and likely unique, lesson that is incredibly valuable for archers.
Those lines in the muscle tissue are called “striations” by bodybuilders. They are a strong indication of muscle maturity.
Thanks very much for being so committed to your craft. Well done.
THANK YEW MY FRIEND
Gary Chynne You’re very welcome. I’ve been an archer since my first turn at Scout camp, and I’ve been shooting an 80 pound Bear recurve for thirty years. Learning how to smith my own Bodkin points. Nice to learn the hot glue trick too.
Now tell us how to grow a beard like that!
santa is about to thin out his naughty list this year
THANK YEW GARE
GOD DAAAAAMN SANTA!!
THANK YEW GARE
You look like the blacksmith Godot from Berserk!
THANK YEW MY FRIEND
Hopefully I still look that strong when I hit 35 too!
HA. THANK YEW JESSE.
I'll just keep doing my arrow-bics!
just so you know if you press the caps lock key on your keyboard you can switch from uppercase to lower case
You arnt old till you say your old
Jesse O'Brien do even you look like that nowadays?
I hope to be just like this man in my life. If you take care and use your body, it won't age like stereotypical old people. This man has the musculature, strength, and flexibility that people 20 years younger than him wish they had, and with more wisdom than many could attain in two lives.
THANK YEW MY FRIEND. TAKE CARE GARE
Mommy, why is Santa naked?
DEAR, HE'S ONLY GETTING IN SHAPE FOR THE CHRISTMAS SEASON.
HO HO HO HAVE FUN SANTA.
Because Santa believes in a very simple principle.
Suns out. Guns out.
I thought it was Magigimmix.
Mommy cant talk right now...
Dashing through the noooo.
After a decade, I have seen quite a bit of changes, I've been slowly reducing weight as of late (from 80, 70, 55, and now 45) as I'm realising it makes no real difference anymore as I'm not going after big game or armored targets.
I started at 14 and at my peak, I was shooting "warbow" which, changed my fingers, forearms, shoulders, etc (stopped after an injury).
I shoot to relax, I shoot for fun, for the zen of it.
yeah, you definitely have nothing to hide, or worry about :). You are toning muscles that keep you relaxed, and it's amazing in itself.
HI SURAKU. NICE TO HEAR FROM YOU AND HOW HEAVY BOWS AFFECTED YOUR BODY. YEA FOR THE ZEN OF IT.
HAVE FUN AND TAKE CARE GARE
I've never scrolled down a video before and seen that level of viewer/creator interaction. A genuine dude.

THANK YEW CHRIS
i dont even understand what kind people you need to be to put dislike on simple video about archering ?
GOOD POINT MY FRIEND.
That's really cool. Thanks for showing us that. I never knew how much archery could change a person's body. Also, that tip on how to keep your tips from loosening. That was always an annoyance for me with my arrows, but I couldn't think of a way to solve it. You're awesome, man!
THANK YEW RIO. GLAD U FOUND THAT TIP USEFUL. HAVE FUN GARE
I shoot ambidextrously so I don't get crooked, not easy but I felt it helps with adaptability as well as coordination (made my dominant side more accurate too). I've had shoulder problems since I used to workout in my early twenties, this helps.
THANK YEW PETERU. TAKE CARE GARE
That majestic beard is what legends are made of
THANK YEW ROBIN
Hi Gary, if I'm practising on my own, and I draw and shoot 6 times right handed, I like to draw and let down 6 times left handed. It might not be important, but I like to keep my strength in balance as much as possible. Same with work - I shovel and rake right hand back and left hand back, carry stuff on left shoulder then right shoulder etc. :)
HI BUDDY. WELL THAT IS AN INTERESTING PRACTICE. HAVE FUN GARE
Same
You're spot on man, I play drums and am a carpenter too and so naturally started doing everything as a kid carpenter with both sides. Workmates thought I was a nut hammering and drilling all the time with both hands. These days a lot of new guys are into it too cos it balances the body and there's a lot less chance for repetitive strain injuries from overuse of one side.
mtman2 very true.
Only thing is, your comment's wording brings rather morbid things to mind. (Amputations and the like)
mtman2 is that one post for the left and one for the right?
I found this video while searching for references for a sculpture I'm working on. It helped me very much since I could see the muscles movement below your skin, as you pointed. Thank you for sharing this with us :)
THANK YEW WILLIAM. GLAD IT HELPED YOUR SCULPTING. GOOD WORK. HAVE FUN. GARE
he is a medieval archery living in the future this is amazing
THANK YEW MY FRIEND.
OMG thanks for the tip on the tips! I am constantly re-tightening my tips when I go out to the range. I am going to try this next weekend. thanks again!
THANK YEW GARE
I'm happy to see someone else using straight fletch. Everyone at events loves the spiral fletchings but the ones I have keep pulling the shafts in the direction of rotation as they fly. And they slow them down quite a bit as well.
Great videos man, makes me want to get back into bending the bow again.
HI MY FRIEND. IT'S A GREAT SPORT. JUST DON'T OVER DO IT. THANK YEW GARE
Watched a some of your videos 💪👍 Just subbed your channel.
You are the old man with words of wisdom in the craft you practice.
HI ED. WELCOME ABOARD. GLAD YOUR ENJOYING THE SHOW. HAVE FUN GARE
Hello Gary! I've recently gotten into traditional archery and I hope to be as good a shape as you are in the future! Thank you for your work, sir. Stay safe, and have a pleasant day.
THANK YEW ANDREW. GOOD SHOOTING GARE
Fascinating observation. This is wonderful. Thank you.
THANK YEW LEOPOLD. HAVE FUN MY FRIEND
Much respect, archer to archer, thank you for making this video! Inspiring us to keep on shooting as we're all gettin' older every day!
I sometimes try shooting with my off-hand to balance out the muscular tension... of course I can't hit anything using my off-hand so I have to stand really close to target, but it is a fun experiment, try it folks! It's like using a sword with my left hand, I feel like a clumsy newbie fool but it also makes me pay closer attention to what I'm doing and I'm feeling all the different muscles engaging that aren't used to it.
THANK YEW EVERETT
This guy looks like he's going to invade my world and ruin my run.
OH DEAR.
Hi Gary, Just want to say that even though I don't shoot bows myself personally, your videos never fail to interest me, and keep doing what you're doing.
THANK YEW BUDDY. THAT'S NICE TO KNOW. TAKE CARE GARE
HI HARRY. WELL THANK YEW I'M GLAD YOU FIND THE SHOW ENTERTAINING. TAKE CARE GARE
No problem mate, your videos are very good and interesting.
This channel is so cool, it involves history and long bows two of my favorite things
THANK YEW GOGO.
I was one of those kids who grew up on knight stories. I was so much into that stuff as a kid! I also never met any of my grandfathers. I just wish I had a grandfather like you sir! I would be the happiest kid on earth. :D
THANK YEW MY FRIEND. WELCOME ABOARD. GARE
One of the few occasions where I keep watching when an old naked bearded guy tells me he's going to show me his body because he has nothing to hide.
HAHAHA. THANK YEW SHANE.
This is how i want to be when im older
THANK YEW MY FRIEND. TAKE CARE GARE

HI CHAD. THANK YEW. GLAD YOUR ON BOARD. ENJOY THE TRIP. HAVE FUN GARE
And he replies to every single comment!
This is how I want to look like during my later years.
THANK YEW MUSA
I know you won't see this Gary but I started Shooting three days ago going from your tips and advise and was hitting the target right off the bat. Thanks and shooting a bow is a great work out.
GREAT NEWS. THANK YEW.
holy crap, that is one of the coolest grandpas I've ever seen.
THANK YEW HUSH
So i'm a natural bodybuilder and aim for symmetry in my physique. seeing this kinda imbalance (although it's miniscule and doesn't matter to most people) would scare me but my left front Delt needs a little work so i'm lucky I picked up archery a few weeks ago.
That being said, I build my own bow from carbon and PVC (I like starting off humble and cheap) at 60inches and its just about 50lb draw weight and i've had many sessions shooting for over 1 hour or 2 and still have no soreness or fatigue issues from it. If anyone else reads this comment i strongly suggest you start doing wide grip pullups and narrow stance pushups with elevated feet to hit all the right muscle groups for archery.
If you're already hitting the gym though, folks. good on you! work your grip strength too!
HI MANNY. YES IF U WORK OUT EVEN YOU'LL STAY EVEN. ARCHERY IS A GOOD WORK OUT THOUGH. NICE TO HEAR FROM U. KEEP IT UP AND HAVE FUN GARE.
Manny, great comment! Not sure if you are implying you grip the bow tightly with your last advice. If you deathgrip your bow, have you tried the lightest featheriest touch with your bow hand? Kinda amazing... Go team!
it would make no difference in fact its likely you have imbalances more substantial already depending on whether you are left or right handed.
for example lets say you were doing a dumb bell shoulder press with 40 kg dumb bells I imagine one of your arms will need less help from a spotter than the other as you reach the end of a difficult set.
its not normal to be exactly the same on both sides unless you deliberately held off the superior side.
Which ultimately would set you back as you would then not be able to bridge such obstacles found with dumbbells by using a bar.
I used to be a body builder and I recall going to a little archery shop and asking to draw the 90 lbs long bows cause I was seeing them on yotube and so on.
The people at the shop were natural archers that did not work out and made the presumption I could not do it correctly.
But of course you and I know a 90lb draw with a push and pull is not a challange of you are fairly advanced in the gym
I have never been shooting actively and my left shoulder is higher than my right. Not being perfectly symmetrical is not uncommon. Maybe this guy even had a higher left shoulder before he started archery but never noticed because the difference was not that big. The difference is bigger for me than for him and I don't shoot.
An excellent way that I like to avoid sports related imbalances is to replicate the movement at the gym. For drawing a bow back I will use a cable or resistance band, replicate the movement as best as I can and of course do an even amount of sets and reps on both sides. I find people do not give enough attention to their less worked side in circumstances like this because they may not see the results immediately transfer over to their activity.
Tell you something else, an archer has a left jab that will make put his opponent on the ground every time. I grew up with a bow in my hands. I'm left handed but I shoot a bow right handed. By the time I was 16 I could draw a hundred pound bow and I could hit with my left like a man that weighed twice as much as me.
THAT'S A GOOD AND INTERESTING POINT OLD DOG. TAKE CARE GARE
Old Dog Is the hand you draw with the stronger hand?
the hand you hold the bow with, as those are the same muscles you would use to jab or punch.
RuKiddin06
No, Im right-handed but I hold the bow with my left hand and draw with my right
You're a dog, how do you even handle a bow?
You're more buff than most men 30 years younger,so important to stay in shape shooting are traditional bows guess it goes hand in hand. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge in this great field of archery!
THANK YEW DUANE. GOOD SHOOTING GARE
As a fledgeling archer, I do appreciate this. Thank you.
THANK YEW MY FRIEND. IT IS A GREAT SPORT. HAVE FUN GARE
I was already twisted both in body and mind before starting archery ; )

I never really thought about this. That would explain the disproportionate mass between my arms despite lifting weights the same on both sides. I wonder if it would cause any issues with my spine

Whenever I lift weights (bench press, etc), I can feel how my left side is much stronger at pushing than my right, despite being right-handed.
