    This is an analysis to figure out the pros and cons of the slavic draw + arrows held in string hand. 5 years ago I was a lot better at this technique but now I have transitioned to heavier bows, so I thought it would be a good idea to revisit this speed shooting technique with heavier bows. In the previous video 125lbs was simply too heavy to shoot rapidly so I decided to drop the draw weight to 70lbs. let's see if it made a difference

    I've been practicing with the Slavic Release for some time too. It's just so much fun! If I may, here's some advice: you need to be able to have the arrows aligned in the correct orientation for the nock to be perfectly perpendicular with the string every time. I notice that the times you stutter and loose speed is in the moment of nocking. I've been through the same problem. The best way to fix this I could find, without having to fiddle with the arrows in your hands after each draw from the quiver (I draw 3 at a time from the quiver), and only then start the shooting process, is to use a special quiver. The quiver has a small elastic "wrap" that goes around each arrow individualy. This makes the arrows firmly secure in the quiver, so you can set then properly beforehand in the quiver, in a way so that when you draw them, they are sure to be in the right rotation so that the nock will find the string in the right orientation. This speeds up the shooting tremendously, because you always nock fast, and in time, you won't even have to look at the string to nock properly.
    Another technique you can try, is to hold the arrows in the draw hand with the pointing finger over the arrows, instead of under them. It may feel awkward at first, but with little practice you will see how you can hold them much more securely and always pointing forwards, which prevents them wiggling around. Note that you to be able to hold them in this manner they've got to be 2 fletched.
    It's really impressive and inspiring to see you shooting Slavic with such heavy bows. I achieved pretty nice speed already, but only with 40~50Lb bow. Gonna start to work on building up the weight!
    Love your videos, keep them coming!

    • @HistoricalWeapons
      @HistoricalWeapons  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      thanks for the response, i find by using a quiver instead of held with string hand, I can blind nock ( I have time to feel the nock). this could be explored in future videos. the reason why I cant blind nock while holding arrows at the nocks is because there are too many arrows so it is difficult to feel 1 out of the 5 arrows. its much easier when u only hold one arrow at a time, which I believe is the intention of the slavic draw

    • @HistoricalWeapons
      @HistoricalWeapons  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      regarding "Another technique you can try, is to hold the arrows in the draw hand with the pointing finger over the arrows, instead of under them.'" I ve noticed lars and martin prefers this but when I try it I am never as accurate as conventional slavic. the issue for me is the arrows have a tendency of falling off, maybe it is the orientation of my bow arm that gives it a torque? I'm unsure but would like to work on that technique. unfortunately that variation has no historical documentation so I don't know if it would be appropriate for my channel

    • @Lucaslfm1
      @Lucaslfm1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      ​@@HistoricalWeapons Totally agree on the historical point. Maybe because of the necessity for the 2 fletched arrow. They noticeably take longer to stabilize in flight with only 2 fletchings, certainly taking a toll on the energy and reducing the power of the shot.
      About drawing from quiver: In my opinion, it's much more historically plausible. Specially when talking about heavy bows, used in war. From my experience I can draw much heavier and accurately without reserve arrows in the draw hand. Imagine taking it to horseback shooting. Furthermore, the Slavic release already allows me to be fairly fast while shooting drawing from the quiver. Definitely not worth the compromise in power and accuracy for a little more of speed. But despite all that, it's just so much fun, feels and looks so cool to draw from the hand. =D

    @vanivanov9571 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Excellent display, Jack, and good arguments. I concur with your points, as accuracy and reliability are just too compromised. You were managing about ~2.5 seconds per arrow, I think, which is really impressive if this is what you consider being out of practice. Still, John Schulz with a bow of unknown weight managed a Med draw at ~1.77 seconds on average, albeit the bow was probably lighter (I forget the weight), and Ken Hicks was managing about 3 seconds per arrow with a longbow, so as you say the speed advantage seems negligible compared to the downsides.
    There may be a specific moment where one archer could use it, but the vast majority would never see that happen. You could shoot one or two arrows rapidly in a panic, before retreating behind the infantry, for example... but it would be better to take a little more time aiming your last shot, so you hit a horse or a man, before you retreat. Even at range for suppression, it's just not useful to suppress enemies from a great distance, it's too exhausting to shoot quickly, and arrows aren't cheap. A mounted archer might suppress a group of men from up close, as he retreats, but then I'm not certain the unorthodox draw would be stable enough for mounted combat.
    For modern day, I wouldn't consider it good for hunting, as you need to make sure your first shot hits, and maybe you get a second if you're lucky, but you'd be better to practice shooting thumb or Med quickly (as mentioned, John can shoot it quite fast). For self defence... not really. The inaccuracy is enough that you're likely to miss even at close range, particularly under stress, and at close range you are unlikely to be able to get a second or third shot, which makes the speed shooting pointless.
    Thanks for sharing your research with us, Jack.

    Very nice video, thank you! I would love to see if you could adapt Martin Spörri's arrow holding technique with your heavy monster war arrows!?
    Holding these heavy arrows at the nock generates a lot of leverage. Holding the arrows in/with your palm, at the point where the (only two) fletches are, is maybe more feasible concerning the leverage problem. I assume you could manage to hold at least three heavy arrows using Martin's technique :-) .

    • @HistoricalWeapons
      @HistoricalWeapons  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Martins technique does not have any historical documentation which is why I’m reluctant to do for a channel focused on historical archery. It seems Lars also prefers that way. I have tried it but can’t shoot accurately because the arrow needs to be twisted. If I don’t twist the arrow they fall off the shelf. I’m in contact with Martin to figure out his technique

      @Kultschnaepper 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@HistoricalWeapons
      Thank you for your answer.
      Fair enough argument, I did not think about that. On the other hand: even if we have no written or pictorial historical evidence on this technique it could still be possible that it was a common technique in specific war/battle situations for at least some of the ancient cultures since it's somehow (kind of) "natural" to invent or figure it out and does not need additional technical equipment like i.e. the Panjegan (ok, the war arrows are/were maybe still too thick/clumsy or too heavy to do it).
      If you'll manage the technique with heavy arrows you'll prove that it COULD have been possible even for ancient archers with their war bows.
      With thumb draw technique you "twist"/push the arrow with the curved index finger against the shelf. With the slavic "two under" technique you "only" press your straight index finger horizontally against the arrow and that pushes the arrow against the shelf - than sliding the finger along the arrows towards the nock. The simultaneously applied wrist torque (see below) from your bow hand works as a counter weight to that.
      But again - maybe does not work with thick and heavy arrows.
      Concerning accuracy: this may can be increased when using Martin's full torque technique on the wrist of the bow hand to get rid of the archers paradox (not Armin's "forward"/vertical kathra but Martin's full power sideways/horizontal wrist "kathra/torque"). As a very neat side effect the spine of your heavy arrows is not relevant anymore, only the correct weight. But I doubt that this can be done with the needed pressure/power on a +100 lbs war bow?!
      Anyway, the historical archery study goes on, keep up the excellent work!

    A nice test, and reasonable conclusion. But I can't help but notice your nocking technique feels kinda clumsy. It's hard to explain but, grab the arrow with the thumb and index and just slide the string under your thumb and back the nock onto the string. it's safer and faster. Check out Armin's video on nocking, you'll know what I mean when you see it.
    Keep the interesting videos going. Best wishes :D

    Really cool. Great work. Bamboo is nature's "carbons". Should be able to find suitable, thinner high poundage spine shafts, at least in the UK you can. The amazing red-headed Russian lady from Murmansk speed shooting at c.1 arrow per second is taking each arrow individually from her back quiver using the Slavic dagger draw, rather than grabbing a handful. Though she is using a lighter bow, c40lb I guess, she's not even trying to handle several arrows at a time but still achieving spectacular rapid shooting.

      Would switching up the draw and "quiver pull" (? I don't know that a term? = the way you draw them from the quiver) make any difference? I'm thinking more along the lines of how yumi archers hold 1/mulitiple arrows while using a thumb draw and it has been documented that both yumi archers and thumb draw can be used with high poundage. As for the quiver pull Armin Hirmer has a video where he holds and pulls them from his quiver with his pinky and ringfinger, then lifts 1 arrow to the bow and draws it with primarily his thumb and a little bit his index and middle finger. I think you could combine these 2 techniques while maybe taking enough time to aim, but still be relatiively quick with the next arrow. My thumb cannot handle the draw weight yet but I could show you my fumbling attemps at the idea of the technique if you want.
