This is a great method. That Step through always hurt my shin. I found this, and it's so much more stable and comfortable. Thank you for sharing that. Everyone needs to know this.
Thank you for presenting this method. I recently got a Hungarian bow and the common step-through method leaves my legs with violet bruises because of the bows high draw weight and feels unsecure, so this will hopefully be more helpful.
Thank you so much for the video, Ronald! That Jotoman is on it's way back to me, and I'll be repairing it for the customer at no charge. It'll be like new when I'm done with it :)
About the name, a prominent Manchu archery practitioner and horn bow maker in China actually told me that this was the Chinese method for stringing bows.
I use your method when I'm unstringing the bows; it does feel best. I'm not sure if it's me or I just need a wider stance but I just can't seem to string bows this way; maybe my 53" Korean but taller bows? I just can't. I was hoping you may have shown us you stringing and unstringing a couple different bows so I could watch and learn lol
@@Jezzyftw here, though it was done long ago, and back then my phone was shitty. I'll try to show it with several longer bows in my next video th-cam.com/video/khi-RPboNjE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Dj1uR7bTlUUKCz6J
My daliye bow string bridge fall off during shooting. I have to wait 2.5 month to get a replacement. I didn't glue it properly when I see it was coming out. Rare but causes problems when you don't have local supplier
@@bambooarchery yes. But mass production bows have similar bridges I think irrespective of poundage. I was using rubber based adhesive instead of super glue so after some shot bow unstrung itself, the string fell to the right front side and the bridge was nowhere to be found. It's not very rare but because I know shipping price is very expensive in your country and it is a very uncomfortable situation for you and your customers. It will be more comfortable for your future business to provide an extract string bridge along with the bow.
@@dtoxxyz5871 actually, a string bridge ripping off is an extremely rare situation and only happens if you did something terribly wrong. Myself and most of my customers have never experienced it personally in the last 13-14 years in archery. It's really something that only affect beginners, and I've only seen maybe 5 cases for the last 10 years in business. Bridges are usually very well glued on and ripping them off takes significant force, even possibly damaging the bow.
exactly what I tell and show all my students
Well you're the one teaching us the step through method master ^^' But I did not know the other method you do was a Manchu one.
@@mocheford now you know and I guess it has more names.
I use the same method and it works great! I saw it from Armin.
Thanks for the heads-up, glad I watched this before my heavier bows arrived!
This was the method I was taught for asiatic bows. Your video helps clarify a few things for me. Thanks!
You literally opened my eyes and explained why I had issues with bridges) thanks you!
This is a great method. That

Excellent explanation and demonstration, Ronald. Thank you. Best wishes :)
This Manchu methond looks promising, I will try it out :)
Thank you for the demonstration, I hope many people see this and follow your advice.

@@angela_merkeI the manchu method is excellent for high poundage without bruising yourself

I have one bow that is a circle and almost an O shape unstrung. That one is a pain to string. I wonder how you string those bows
@@jasontsang2232 there's something called tepelik. Use those
Manchu is all i use now?
