I actually tried shooting a tong-ah a couple years ago after watching this video. Great video by the way brother. I really don't think the string is necessary though . I have been shooting with a custom tong-ah for years without a string and I think it gives you more flexibility on the way you want to hold it. what do you think?
@@iyoo1 yes I would. I am open to any platform you want to use my friend. we can do a video chat or whatever you feel like. check out my tong-ah playlist on my youtube. I am shooting various objects as well with no string. 🙏
@@iyoo1 I would be happy to brother. I am open to any platform you want. We can do a video chat if you want to. Check out my Tong-ah playlist on my RU-vid page as well. that is a good place to start. I shoot all kinds of things from tong-ah' like tranquilizer darts. 🙏
@@palmer3977 thats too short for me. I would want more like 34 or 35 inch arrows which are a lot more expensive. also im not buying arrows from aliexpress
I just looked up how much long Manhu arrows are on AliBow's site, and good golly, with shipping and as I recall with all three times I've shopped from them, the really long wait times, those arrows are expensive
Thx for the video! I managed to string my 140# @ 28" tiron. I need to get much stronger though to pull it fully :P Current target is my H1 heavy 110# @28" from Alibow. Can draw it up to 24" at the moment :P
Do you happen to know where i can buy a war bow? I have been looking for Scythian war bow for a while now without any luck. I would appritiate if you could help me out.
i don't know what type of bows you like but if this helps. Alibowshop.com they have heavier poundage. not many options but you can checkout their website. Daylitearchery.com also carry some 70~80# bows. check their website. MRbows.com this is one i got my Tiron from. different designs and more options here. Afarchery thehy have some more options than other websites. many kinds of fiberglass bow in higher poundage. hope this info helped. :)
It is very nice you made your own comfortable long hook thumb rings for warbows. But be careful because material might not be so strong for your Tiron. Also you should watch for any strain on the wrist which might lead to long term pain which is not much but uncomfortable in the long term.
thanks. yes, male style thumb ring saves my thumb for sure. this is resin mix and i have tested on my bow that's about 110#. so far, no cracks or anything. plastic thumb ring you can get in the market, some of them can break if you pull over 70# so be aware. also thanks for the concern. i am being careful and checking myself each session. :)
Heck yeah bro! I feel sore from my bow and then watch this.. TY for the progression and inspiration! Kind of funny how your 90lb is your warm up now?! Jeez!
i don't. i'm sure you can get medieval war bow arrows online. for me i like Alibow's manchu arrows i get. heavy enough (1438 grains) and stiff (100 spine). also 34 to 35" long. ^_^
Personally I hate these carbon arrows. They are way too stiff. The fletchings feel hard and synthetic, not to mention they occasionally leave a cut in my bow thumb.
@@iyoo1 today with 10.5 inch 54 gram arrow with 60# korean bow bow just unstrung itself. Is khatra must for short arrow? With 35-40 gram 18 inch arrow bow was ok.
@@ThatIndianArcher i don't think so. khatra is just a technique. if this keeps happening you want to see if there is any twist on the limb or at the end of siyah. i'm using khatra with all my bows. no issues. :)
Very interesting video to see how you do it.But I can’t see somebody weighing another 125 pounds added on to your body frame .That left thigh will be trapped.Thanks for the video.
which bow? if you are talking about Tiron that's from Mrbows.com if you are talking about Monarq that's from Daylitearchery.com Tiroon is 60" and Monarq is 52" in length.
What range is this?? I would love to shoot at a nice outdoor range like that, if there are any in LA or OC area. Are there also any other traditional/ancient archery fans that shoot with you or is this all just yourself?
this is Big Woods Goods in GA. i shoot myself most of the time and some of my friends join me once in a while. i know there are some good ranges in LA. i have been one of them many years ago. ^_^
I recently started doing thumb draws with khatra and the satisfaction of a good release is underrated. Looking good! Whats the draw weight of the tiron?
