    I wonder how many other people have decided to start learning about this dream of archery during this strange corona house arrest time - haha - I feel like for sure when I get my bow and get started I am going to progress fairly easily because of these amazing videos - Armin is clearly a natural teacher - and these videos are amazing - very generous sharing, Armin!!!! Glad I discovered you and I am enjoying all these videos - My archery school during the "pandemic"

      Kristen Williams hii 👋🏼😅 *someone who started during quarantene* here. Nah, well, it was a dream since quiet some time and now needed more hobbies. Where I live is soooo much forest and nature, so I started to shoot 3D targets. I got a takedown bow and with the 3D cube target, it fits easily in/on my hiking backbag. So when I see a nice location I tie the cube somewhere and shoot. Armin‘s videos helped me more then any else to learn how to get more accurate and find a technique that fits for me ^.^

The tilting part crept out of my form somehow and I was wondering why I couldnt reliably hit anymore. I added it back into my form yesterday and I am grouping arrows again!

    @vassa6483 6 лет назад +2

    Wow! This is so amazing! I received the 59" hankyu (35# @ 28) last month and had researched traditional Japanese tenouchi technique (not modern kyudo technique) which is really, really hard to find. After watching the whole video, it is so similar to what I have found out and what have been practicing. The best part is that your instructions are so clear and concise plus the video really helps a lot. Top notch instruction!
    Also, I'm practicing the thumb draw without thumb protection for the mean time.The inner side of my thumb is actually developing tougher skin as I practice every other day! I'm still waiting for the 71" hankyu (49# @ 28) from Sarmat. It'll be really interesting to see what that can do but I think I may need thumb protection for that one because of the poundage at full draw of 32 inches.
    Thank you for all that you do! You're just awesome!

    Watching this at 1:30am and learning. As a visual learning this is such great work Armin. I mean it when I say you are in a class of your own, when it comes to Archers on YT. There is no sugar coating things, you don't tell people they can't do this or can't do that. You show what can be done and then tell us how you prefer or how you do things. There are a lot of archers on the site that create rules that aren't real rules. You sir are teaching viewers in the best way...showing all the options, how to do those options with best result, and in detail.
    I'm glad I found this video, because it helps me...someone with experience with western Archery but not eastern archery. My first Asiatic Bow comes tomorrow. Because of this video, I now know how to shoot before even shooting. I now know what to practice, before practicing. In that's because of you. Hell I'm even hesitant about Khatra, will I mess it up, how will it turn out. But again because of you, those thoughts are gone.
    You truly are amazing Armin.

    In Japanese Kyudojo archery with the long bamboo Yumi bow, one lets the bow turn-rotate with its natural momentum with the release - often the bow will spin all the way to bring the string into contact with the back of the bow hand - the important thing to pay attention to here is to not subconsciously attempt to make the bow turn -

      One followup question teacher, by doing Khatra, how should I adjust the aim? Say do I aim at the tennis ball in the middle? The reason I ask this is because my arrow still lands on the left of my target (left-handed thumb release archer here) even I do Khatra, or I am not doing it right. Many many thanks sir!
