Good video! I agree with your conlusions. I do Archery since 6 Years, started with Mediteranian draw, went to slavic (which for me was easier than thumb release), learnd to apply a bit of torque and so on. Nowadays i use slavic draw most of the time specially for running archery and speed shooting, but i frequently switch to thumb release for target or 3d shooting. When i experimented with some native American draw styles, holding the bow almost horizontally, the anchor of the string to the chest is almost the natural thing that happens. I am teaching some poeple to shoot bow an arrow, sometimes they struggle with the classic 3-finger draw, but with slavic or 3-under they shoot well. Poeple are different and everyone needs to find the style that fits best.
A very interesting presentation. A lot of good points made here. I figure, what ever technique you practice more, it's what you'll be best with. But knowing all of them makes you a more versatile archers. But one thing I'm sceptical about is what everyone does when they simulate riding a horse. It's bouncing arround 😁 If you look at skilled horse archers, they don't bounce. They are absolutely steady in their upper body. No bounce whatsoever.
Indeed, especially with stirrups. Some techniques on horseback I've seen even involve practically standing on the stirrups, and at high speeds you can ride quite stably. I have noticed this with a piece of iconography of a Byzantine Eunuch doing horse archery in this way, and have an analysis that's almost complete.

Absolutely fascinating.
