- Do my best for this and show how it works for me. In my opinion, the eagle claw only makes sense with long bows like Manchu style. But as always, try and see what works best for you!

By the way this is one of the most important and informative videos in traditional bow shooting. The eagle claw teaches you to relax more and it moved the bow forward like you mention and the forearm string slap stopped lol. Bow shooting has become more pleasant now and I'm hitting my desired areas and targets more. Will make a video of how I shoot from watching your videos and I have never had a live or school archer instructor I learned all this from your videos.
Something so simple has been bugging me for years. Thank you again Mr Hirmir
thank you for watching
Interesting stuff. This is what makes archery so beautiful. There are so many ways to practice it.
Thank you for this and your other videos. My father was born in Poland and learnt and showed me the eastern method of draw. Love to see all the variation and reasons for them.
Ok my hunch was right, regarding a comment I left in one of your other videos. You are DEFINITELY ahead, I can typically find exactly what I need like when I had to describe a Mongol bow in detail I paid attention to your review of the Mongol Yuan. Here, you not only use a Manchu bow but are also using that grip I've been using for my tests/hands-on research, I've just had no idea what that variation of it was called (I've done it before from illustrations of the finger hooked instead; Falcon's Talons, right?). Now I'm studying Gao Ying's Way of Archery, for myself and for my book, so now I can see it talked about and shown in detail. Dude you're a badass with all this variety you've got going on.
Thank you Derek
Vielen Dank!!
gerne doch :) dank fürs kucken
Hey I have a Mongolian bow just like that one but green snake skin. So glad I got it as a beginners bow bow that I know more I can get a better one like the Ming Emperor III which I will be getting
Cool
Tried it, but my Eagle claw looks like a rooster with arthritis.
Hehe perfect practice makes perfect
Besides the length of the bow, does the shape of the handle make a difference?
Of course a bit
Doesn't the heavier limb of the Manchu bow make its delivery slower, and therefore it needs a heavier arrow in order to carry the same energy at a slower speed?
Maybe as they say with more then 80# it will get the benefits of the design
the partner passes the contact of the company that manufactures the Mongolian bow?
Do you have a shop? I am looking for a used Manchu bow! I thought you might have a few lying around.
Hi. Yes I have a shop, but no, I don't have them laying around :)
this thing puzzles me out. Right-handed horse archer charge at wall of pikeman. Horse has clock on neck. When guy is shooting on direction of 12 everything is normal. After turning right (targets shooters left; direction 11, 10, 9...) also alright till 6 (parthian shot), no problem. But i cannot figure out how to shoot targets on right side, so 1, 2, 3 and so on. How they did it in past?
when I dop this, I switch bowhand - then it is quite simple ;)
Or they´d all wheel to right, in looser formation they don´t collide to each other. Other possibility is Cantabrian Gallop/Circle, where they ride in continuous barrage of arrows wheeling away.
I noticed today that sidesaddle resolves problem:) but I'll take first advice and try to learn release by left hand. Thanks!
hm interesting. when it works, stick with it
Some say it's easy but quite challenging, just be flexible though you have to be careful. The steppe horse saddle helps the flexibility as when on canter/ full gallop, the rider is kinda like fully standing on the stirrup. You should see how the steppe people ride their horse, there you can imagine.
What was the poundage for a composite war bow used by the Huns and Turks? Is 60 pounds enough to be considered for war?
Good question. I guess on horseback it was something about 80# or more and foot soldiers had maybe 100-150#
Armin Hirmer have u seen the Hungarian bow on amazon by longbowmaker?
saw yes, but never shot
In all of history which culture or bow is the most powerful and most efficient in terms of draw weight to power ratio? Is it the arab bows, korean, chinese or japanese (I doubt japanese)?
I think Turkish and Korean bows are the most efficient/ powerful design. But the others aren't far behind
I really want to buy a bow model from this friend, I'm passionate about Mongolian bow
I guess it would be better if you ask bow builders directly
