Thank you. I tried this last week alternating with slavic draw, and both for me work really well when I added khatra with it, so thank you for the tip and shadiversity ,where I first saw the concept, for bring me to the out side of the bow shooting style.
Hi, I'm back, and I was looking at old European artwork from the medieval to the Renaissance era, and if you look closely at the draw hand of the right side, split finger draw hand. The palm is facing down a little, not parallel, I just find this intriguing.
@@Bucellarius Yes, it works. It worked for me better with two fingers, maybe my ringfinger is too short... But it worlks! Altough I might say, I still prefer thumb draw.
Is Mediterranean draw split finger exclusively? & Is three finger under not Mediterranean? I've heard it called Apache draw..really dig your vids, love that bow!
A lot of these terms are very modern and made-up, not a very historical term for what medieval people would have simply just called a three finger draw. But yes, by modern standards the "Meditteranean draw" is split finger, while three below the arrow is called something different.
Out of curiosity, when you shoot, how much are you "anchoring" (as in, keeping it rigid - not anchor-point related) with one hand vs. the other, percentage wise? This is badly worded so I'll give an example: if I 'anchor' more with my right/draw hand then my left/bow hand moves intuitively after I shoot, either doing that khatra or rotating the bow downwards. If I instead anchor more with my left, then my right hand goes flying back upon release (sometimes hitting my wall as I shoot indoors). I'm guessing a 50/50 split is best, and seems to be what you do? I find myself splitting something more like 70 left/30 right giving me a pronounced khatra, but with a smaller right hand swing.
I would say I'm doing it 50/50, keeping it equal to each other keeps it as steady in accuracy as possible, but mostly just because it's what is more natural to me, not for any technical reason specifically. Justin Ma did a video on the topic of the release itself, to which it would be called an expanding release. That's also another reason why I release rather quickly, so my expanding release doesn't turn into a collapsing one.

an out of topic question from me, not about archery but how do you wear that Turban? it looks cool and neat
Cool🎯
very nice
Thank You so much! I'll go and try tomorrow... As a Turkish Style archer, used to khatra, I think, this will work!
Glad I could help, let me know how it goes.

Why 3 Fingers? We use no LongBow. I cant hold my 44 Inch Bow in full draw with three Fingerz. Thats why most use a thumb or 2 Fingerz.
