The opening "speech" of this video spoke to me on an amazing level.
This channel is amazing and I love everything about it. Keep it up, my dude
I am among those people who got your channel as a "random RUclips recommendation" and I curse that day cause now I really want to get into archery and can't really make time for it :D
The exact same way here :D One of his vids got viral and was in my recommended for a while. Decided to watch it last week and been watching these vids here and there since.
Same!
"Many of you who are watching this video may have come across archery as a random youtube recommendation"
Forgive me, Sensei, I came across your channel through random recommendations and I really enjoy these videos.
I wanted to practice archery as a child but didn't have the resources; thanks to your channel I feel like I'm learning a lot from your videos in a way I couldn't before!
Hello fellow Hernández 🖖
Seriously thank you for this video! Literally searched the whole internet and could not find a single video that explained how to draw the string from the bow.
As a new archer your channel is such a help. Thank you.
The thumb draw seemed instinctive to me and the method I used with my one bow I tinkered with many years ago. The Mediterranean method when I first saw it seemed over complicated. I’m American and still don’t like Mediterranean. I searched archery vids because I sought clarification on a lecture concerning Amazons from Greek legend. Your videos are excellent.
Good to see you're growing your beard again. It suits you and make you look the part of a sensei. :D
That's what I thought!

I really appreciate your channel. I just started archery (4th class in) and your channel is my go to until the next class. I've learned alot.💜
This channel has helped me through my archery practice..thanks nu sensei and archery adventure...
I want to see a video covering Native American archery equipment and techniques. We read about the encounters and exploits of the Native Americans and their skill with bows and arrows in our American history books, but have not seen such coverage online. You have covered European and Asiatic archery plenty, but you have yet to talk about archery that developed with the indigenous people of the North American continent!
Watch lars anderson latest video
Great video as always! The basics are always worth revisiting. Good to see the beard return!
ive done archery like once in my life but these videos make me feel like an expert
The start of this video made me laugh because this was exactly what I was looking for
Excellent Video! I learned something new and learned what I was doing wrong. Keep up the great work.
Explained very well my friend. Thanks for posting.
Main reason for left side placement is because that way the arrow flies straight.
Love the Hadza tribe reference. Yep, parallel development. "If an idea is good and simple, it will be arrived at independently many times."
It flies straight either way
Noooooope.
Wrath of the Archer's Paradox (or lack thereof) - Higher Quality ruclips.net/video/Hxvws_S1bf8/видео.html
The video listed here is incorrect. Not in that the arrow flew to the right, but as to why. If a release was used the arrow would have gone straight. It went right due to the string rolling off the fingers, causing string twist which rolls the arrow to the right.
@@ryddragyn the archers paradox would apply on either side
@The Archer's Paradox You probably meant to type "the correct release", which is actually the entire point of the video, if you read the description. If the Mediterranean release is used on the right side of the bow, the natural tendency is for the arrow to fly far to the right, as happened in the video. If it is used with the arrow on the left side of the bow (which is standard practice) it flies straight.
So we are not actually in disagreement, though I would debate the precise details of the causes.
Yes nu sensei I want more.
I don't understand the Mediterranean Draw.
You could say, "its Greek to me..."
Waka Waka!
@@mst2203 I do kinda look like Fozzie...
Oh Good Grief ...!!!!!
Well played, sir....well played.
@@crominion6045 thank you...
One of three javanese archery (jemparingan) sub-technique is called "kalang kinanthang", it is basically a mediteranian-styled draw.
I believe he addresses that later on in the video which he calls that an example of “parallel development.”
Thanks for the detailed demonstration of a concrete floor ... :) Anyway do you have any historical sources/documentation on the origin of the 2 variants (split finger and 3 under)? I have found mentions of split finger as the original mediterranean draw and 3 under mentioned as apache draw ... however I was not able to find any credible sources to back those 2 up ... maybe I just suck at searching ...
Nice!
2:53 NUsensei is so stupidly handsome x)
Thx ! That's the technique i'm using. Could you do a video on your own way to shoot recurve bow ? I'm trying to learn the instinctiv way but I've not much time to practice and would rather prefere to aim with my bow at full draw
I modify my draw from Mediterranean in the drawing process to a Bhutanese draw when anchoring and near release to reduce pinching, if your bow has an offset (positive/negative) tiller it will affect your shot process, I usually make my bows with an even tiller, which works quite well for me.
Interesting! All this time I've been shooting split finger and didn't know it had a special name. Like the beard by the way.
Woot a stringwalking reference!
i am a total beginner; shot about 300 arrows so far, but for me it is almost impossible not to squeeze the arrow between the fingers; the shape of the string at full draw just pushed pointing finger down, towards the arrow; as far as i can tell, if you don't really pull with the pointing finger than you are not squeezing the arrow, making the draw only by ring and middle finger
Can you do a video on the native american pinch draw? The natives even made bulbous nocks (or use river cane for shafts), so that they could shoot +50lbs bows without needing gloves while eliminating string torque.
Opening made me smile like "eek you caught me! 😅"
We call this "the shocker" now.
Going back to the basics. Always a good idea.
Can you do other vids about other draws and any older methods
🙏🏽
not sure if you have already done a video on aiming down an arrow. no sights or anything. I am learning achery with a friend and i think we both have a slight struggle with tracing where the arrow is going to go. I also feel like when I am trying to actually aim I shake way too much. Could this be just learning curve or improper position/form
In terms of biomechanics, would you say that holding a release aid is more natural than a mediterranean draw because you're not forcibly twisting your wrist to hold the string?
Advantages or disadvantages of anchoring with index in corner of mouth or middle finger?
That's called face walking and is commonly used to aim at different distances while still sighting the same.
Hello NuSensei. I'd like to know what material is your target butt made of? Did you do it yourself?
yay
So I’m guessing the Eastern draw is adapted toward mounted/cavalry considerations?
The biggest difference that I know of is the "Mongolian draw" uses a two finger (or really, thumb-and-finger; usually you'd wear a thumb ring instead of the glove or finger pad with the 3-finger draw) release and the arrow goes on the opposite side of the bow (because of the way the archer's paradox works with a thumb release)... I have no idea if this is in any way "more adapted" to mounted shooting or not, it could just be a random cultural difference
Epic mustache
Can i use my horsebow with mediterranean draw? Just wondering how it will end, it's still gonna shoot well?
In short, yes.
Random question, where did you get your hoodie ?
It is the Link shirt from Musterbrand. I have a review on the shirt here: ruclips.net/video/-BBlZ53xXwc/видео.html
Where did you get that hoodie?
Make one on slavec draw

Midateranean is not only European it. Is familiarised by memluks
Actually this started in Egypt WAY BC.
So... it seems the mediterranean draw might be more intuitive than thumb draw when it comes to standing archery (such as hunting on foot, military archery formations, ramparts archery and other battlefield and siege archery variations that don't involve mounts), or in other words, more readily/primitively accessible to the human subconscious.
As opposed to the Mediterranean draw and its multitude of similar styles developed in parallel, the thumb draw seems to be a style designed to correct one problem that Mediterranean draw would have on horseback, encouraged by the significant tactical advantage of horse archery and secondarily by the prestige earned by these warriors, and that branched off from a common origin in mounted archery to be used in standing archery, mounted archery and even seated archery.
This is purely conjecture based on this video and the one on the thumb draw, but I wouldn't be surprised if that were indeed the case.
He could of mentioned that if any archer is using a sight on their bow then they must use the under the chin draw where if they are not using a sight and a shooting barebow then they must draw to the corner of their mouth
Well, you dont *have* to do anything, there's no rules regarding where you anchor. The methods you mention are common though. He has specific videos on this, I think he's just doing "intro to archery" videos here.
David W fair enough but those are the rules my club tell me to do when using barebow and sights
Yes, they want you to succeed and those are the easiest ways to do it (and not fire arrows into the ceiling or floor). No competition is going to exclude you for doing different however.
David W ah don’t worry there’s always competition where I train

Interesting explanation but I've just checked and the World Archery rules description of Mediterranean loose is specifically one above and two under.
Peekaboo!
19th comment.... 19! 19!
nu sensei lose weight.. very big different from his old video XD
You know, he'll probably never read your comment, but I did, I'd love for you to send me a picture so I can critique your image. I bet a lot of people would by the persona you have given yourself with a comment like that.
Mediterranean draw is the best ,Mongolian draw sucks ,no no just kidding😆
Some just want to watch the world burns.... 😂
