Please forgiv;;e my being critical of one's archery form I too am very interested in the Mamluk. On your release you're collapsing instead of expanding ....the Mamluk would have practiced a snatched release .....and would have used an indo persian bow. Those arrows are beautiful . Are they the barley grain type
Yes, it's not the best form, but you can see the target collapsing as well so from the practical point of view I don't mind at all. :) But yes of course you should always aim for perfect form even with fast shooting, but the form is easily distorted to some extent there. However, whether it's collapsing, or just creeping, or final unconscious adjustment to make the arrow hit the target, that's debatable. This sort of shooting is different from slow paced form practise where there's time to think and feel the execution more carefully.
This is one of the sexiest bows I've seen on TH-cam :D How's your cheek after lots of shooting? Ever had any issues having the anchor point so close to your face at this draw length? I see that you press the thumb fairly firmly into it when drawing and on the second slow mo it kinda looks as if the feather ruffled the skin a little, hence the question
Heh. It's a decent bow indeed. When shooting in peaceful pace the arrow touches the cheek only very lightly, and that's the intention. With faster paced shooting it's harder to control, and pressure against the cheek varies more, but still scratches are really rare. And even so, they are barely noticeable and cause no harm.
@@UgriArcher depending on which method of taking aim is applied, this can be overcome by offsetting the bow hand slightly. Also, when one draws passed the ear the probability of wrapping the cheek is higher.
@@UgriArcher hi there, thanks for replying to my comment. No worries, take as long as you need. I really enjoy your videos and archery 👍. Now, how do you find the performance of the Gròzer? I’m considering purchasing one, but the price is steep (including the shipping cost to Canada 🇨🇦)… So I’m ‘sitting on the fence’ so to speak… Anyway, thanks for your contributions to the archery community here 🙏🙏🙏. 🙂👍🇨🇦
@@brucenovotny5924 I'm big fan of Grozer bows, and can honestly recommend them. Of all the models I've tried Crimean Tatar is my favourite, which I'd also recommend for first purchase, but I've got a great variety of his works. I got my first Grozer bows more than 20 years ago, and I'm still shooting with them. Surely there are cheaper bows around, but these are good, reliable and long-standing products at least in my experience.
@@jareth7456 The bow I'm using here is Persian design (by Grozer), and it's the closest equivalent I have. There's rather lengthy description about the bow properties and proportions in the book, and the characteristics can be seen in this model too. It's overly simplified to say they used indo-persian bows, which is a rather complex term all in all. It's rather like the book's translators go through different bow designs, indian, manchu, mongolian, indo-persian, to explain the composite bow construction and different designs. Of those, it can be seen that indo-persian appears closest to what Taybugha describes.
Would love to come and say hi, sharing a tea or some juice plant listening to your stories.
Thank you for such a nice comment. Actually just this week we had visitors from France. We also did a little archery and exchanged stories.
This would be nice I agree
Love to see u doing mamluk sir.
Hieno video 😇
Kiitoksia.
How do the Taybugha arrows feel to shoot compared to other ones you like.
Foremostly they feel fast. I'm also mostly used to a little thicker shafts and nocks, so they also feel more "elegant" in many ways.
✋Kiitos paljon 💪🎯👍👍👍
Ole hyvä. :)

The Mamluk also used a draw just barely below the jaw and slightly away from the face .....it's spoken of as used when wearing a helmet
Did you use Taybugha arrows with 3 or 4 feathers?
3 feathers. These arrows are described in more detail in the part 2 of the series.

Excellent video 👍. Can’t wait for next part. What bow are you using? Looks like a Grózer Tatar bow. 🙏
🙂👍🇨🇦
Thanks, Bruce. Next part is in the making, will take a while though. This is Grozer's Persian bow,

Neat.
S that a Grózer Crimean-Tatar bow?
It's Grozer Persian.
In the book doesn't it say they used the indo persian bow.....what we would call a Turkish bow today ????
