10 arrows in 10 seconds by Mihai Cozmei 

So slow is fast? Tf u talm boug

@@ogtobi8547 Its military wisdom that emphasizes the importance of accuracy, consistency, and a controlled pace in executing tasks. The fastest route to success isn’t always about rushing headlong into tasks. It’s about maintaining a rhythm, a smoothness in operation that naturally leads to increased speed, efficiency, and effectiveness.

​@@ogtobi8547Are you slow? 💀

@@ogtobi8547 bro aint no way 💀

What are you talking about four nocks .....Mihai nocks once ....unlike most archers he nocks downward..most others nock up to the nock point on the string......I myself do not use a fixed nocking point on the string just like many of the old archers did

@@jareth7456 I'm talking about the 4 sounds it makes. It knocking against the bow and being shots

😂 yooo Zelda 😅

Mihai based this quiver on an etruscan figurine of an Amazonian horse archer.....although the figurine was more likely of a scythian horse archer....but the quiver on the figurine looks very much like the one he's using here with the same angle relative to the shoulder , so his quiver is solidly based on historical evidence

@@jareth7456 cool stuff! Would love a video specifically on the quiver!

Hahaahhahahahahhaah im laughing so hard i forgot that kids are dying at school

Way to make it political

Nobody needs large capacity quivers!

​@@demapples6580they made it political when they attacked our 2nd amendment, what if someone tried to limit the 13th, 15th, 19th amendment? The constitution shouldn't even be a political debate yet they brought it into one. By going after it you're making it even harder to vote for a candidate, I can't accept anyone who doesn't accept our amendments.

Mihai has been a good friend and great teacher for years and he would probably tell you yes but archers would rather keep a safe distance and only come in close as they were finishing off their enemy after totally decimating them from a ways off

What's so not fair about it? This is the product of years of dedication and practice, behind the skill of an archer lay the quality and quantity of his practice. If you really really want to be a superb archer then dedicate your self and several hours per day to its practice and learning form and technique, Jerry Miculik who holds several world records for his speed with pistols and three gun competition will tell you there's only one way to be the best .....to be the first one on the range and the last to leave and to use that time wisely to focus on acquiring these skills . In drawing and firing a single accurate round there's a reason I'm three tens of a second faster with a bow than Jerry is with a pistol and it's not because I sat around wishing I were that fast and go from a stand still hands down at my sides to an arrow in a three inch circle in point five seconds. Dedication and discipline. ....you have it or you don't

@@jareth7456 What's not fair are his rugged good looks on top his skill.

the kaftan he wears was a gift given to him by another great horse archer Lukas Novotny

He's always evolving his technique, as any good archer should

Orang malaysia? 😂

Somebody else who is absurdly good at archery is Lars Anderson. Im pretty sure he was able to fire the same amount of arrows in 4.9 seconds

​@@natethenotsogreat8349Lars is a joke. It's easy to be so “skilled” when you use a bow with a draw weight for a child.

He doesn't have the physical strength to handle a heavy bow but it doesn't make him any less skilled. @@bruno4299

It's an asymmetric bow of Akkadian design I believe but otherwise called the living arrow bow

Thank You!@@jareth7456

37lbs ......but trust me when I say you wouldn't want this man shooting at you with a 37lb bow ......results are the same

Last I talked with him about that he was practicing at 47 meters .....not yards ......meters

No way. That spread is too good for 47 meters.@@jareth7456

I don't get what you're saying about drawing an inch before release but about accuracy it's all about the training and the quantity and quality of the practice.....you train for the arrow to go where the eyes are fixed...so it doesn't matter how fast you shoot except to say that a person trained this way is more accurate the faster he shoots because it gives less time for the conscious mind to interfere with the shot .....the way we train turns the subconscious mind into a ballistic computer

​​@@jareth7456I've been using our European d-flex longbows, only an 80lb draw at 28" for over 20yrs now (feeling old 😄) and I'm fairly fast but haven't reached that kind of unconscious accuracy yet. Yes a lot of it is instinctive the same as any physical movement like my footwork and bladework, or even the way I pass or kick the rugby ball but we still take a moment to pick where we want to hit it. A lot of historians I've met have told me that archers didn't just loose long flight arrows, they picked their targets and a lot of the time fired from within their effective range which when you think of the kinds of armour could be literally only yards away, so taking a moment to examine the target and pick a soft spot makes more sense doesn't it? I was only making the disclaimer that having speed over power and accuracy isn't a good idea or something that was done historically, the way he's show us is VERY impressive but more akin to trick shooting than archery, I can easily throw and shoot a can out of the air if I only draw it an inch sure, but it doesn't represent anything practical. Maybe that's part of the problem with modern sport archery, you win the point if you hit the target it doesn't matter how. Sorry for over explaining that I just wanted us to be on the same page 🙂

i often practice this same technique although i am nowhere near this level. in the fifteenth century arabic archery manual this technique is known as "shooting from the heart". Mihai Cosmei is clearly a master of the technique. watch him do it again. it is not performed by the draw hand alone like modern target archery it is more about how he used his bowhand. having taken the arrow from his quiver and knocked or loaded it onto the string he then punches his bowhand out and towards his target releasing at the right moment. we just cannot judge this technique from a modern archers perspective, there is far too much going on for that, remember where the name and description came from, a fifteenth century training manual. now ok i am told he uses a very lightweight bow, around twenty five pounds draw weight but he is not hunting with it, it could be said he is trick shooting at that draw weight however when i throw arrows this way i am using a fifty pound ottoman bow and whilst that is not "warbow" draw weight it is not far off and there is more than one archer today practicing the technique on warbows at the heavier end of the scale.

On a horse yes

Seriously bro you gotta try it and if you stick with it you will see

i Hope i can help but it will surely be a bit of an essay. thinking of the bowhand, mediterranean is the best while throwing from the knuckle side but for accurate throwing from the thumb side it is thumb, Slavic or Assyrian. throwing from the thumb side is naturally faster as You will surely discover should You try it. Mihai uses Slavic draw although it is still doable with thumb draw but is maybe a fraction slower. throwing from the thumb side of the bowhand however makes a huge difference in how we overcome the archers paradox. it's the physics involved within the overall paradox which dictates how the arrow flexes on release. it always flexes the same way regardless of whichever side of the bowhand we are throwing from, thumb side it will flex inwards towards the bow whilst knuckle side it flexes away and around the bow, that is the reason that modern target archers throw from the knuckle side and also some indigenous hunters also still today throw their arrows knuckle side. that's fine if we are throwing arrows one at a time for hunting or point based target shooting but this is medieval military archery. the english longbow and archers being the pinnacle of medieval military archery is a western myth, i am english going back generations to the Celts by the way. the Truth of the matter is the Ottoman or Turkish archers were the absolute pinnacle during medieval times both in archers skill and the actual recurve bows they used. throwing the Ottoman or even Tatar or Mongolian way (to name but a few) we initiate release with the bowhand and not the draw hand like modern target archers do. the technique for overcoming the paradox described in the Arabic archery manual from the fifteenth century is known as "khatra", the k is silent same as for the english word "knife". there are three ways to perform khatra that i know of... front, side and back khatra. i don't recommend side khatra that is the Chinese and Korean (to name...) method where they have a longer draw and throw longer arrows but it strains the bow limbs and has been known to break them with the torque involved. Mihai is clearly demonstrating excellent technique for front khatra, that we can see here from the way he tips the bow forwards and downwards to initiate release. the draw length for this type of archery is only twenty eight inches in which case as the tension is released the archer completes our back tension which naturally translates as back khatra to further remove the bow from the arrows flight path over such a short distance. as always with archery no matter what style we throw the arrows with it's all about muscle memory, the less we think about it the more accurate we are when throwing so it's about practice and practice again until we have drilled it enough it becomes automatic. this is where the misnomer "instinctive" aiming comes into play, it's not instinctive it's learned and drilled in. there's parallels between most sports, for instance boxing, the boxer is no longer thinking about how to throw their jab once practiced enough for competition they just do it. drill to develop the skill but when it comes time to perform all those combinations go out the window as the boxer combines their punches to suit the openings in the moment. same thing here. i Hope You got this far and have a better insight into just what Mihai is doing here as a result. for further study on uboob as well as Mihai's other videos where he explains the techniques involved i will highly recommend Armin Hirmer personally i have learned a massive amount from both men! all the best and have a great time! 😊

@@mattredfern1339 highly appreciated.

@@vincezito3547 Thank You

Lol ....this is called a snatched release, the bow is drawn so quickly that it appears to onlookers that the archer hadn't drawn to full . If you were to view his shooting in slow motion you'd see the point of his arrows come all the way back behind the grip of the bow......there are videos of him fast shooting in slow motion......it's super cool to see

Lars is a joke. It's easy to be so “skilled” when you use a bow with a draw weight for a child. 

@@bruno4299 haha ok why don’t you do then if it’s soooooo easy!?

@@DreadEnder I'm a bow hunter, I have zero interest in trick archery. Why doesn't Lars use a bow with heavy draw weight if he is so skilled?

@@DreadEnder And what makes you think he is the pinnacle of archery, the archer that everyone aspires to be? Just because he does circus tricks? When he tracks down, and takes down a moose or bear with a bow and arrow I will be impressed.

@@bruno4299 because he’s one of the only people in the world that knows an ancient art and can shoot faster than any other person on earth with the same speed and even greater accuracy. And yes why doesn’t he go moose or bear hunting? IN THE UK??? Seriously you are showing one of the greatest examples of the dunning Krueger effect I have ever seen. But that doesn’t matter because the technique was used for hunting. You say you’re a bow hunter but you’ve displayed a clear lack of knowledge about archery. The reason he uses a low draw weight bow is because he doesn’t need a high draw weight. Using this technique he can get greater speed, greater accuracy and the same power with a significantly reduced draw weight.

Lars Anderson makes this guy look like a child.

You should see David molar, or Kassai Lajos. Way better

Well he just made a guinnes record and several world records in horseback archery so I think there you have your answer

Stay mad

The white paper is a little narrower than a man's chest

Lars is a joke, he claims he is reinventing and rediscovering shit, but all he does is roll around and shoot with a bow that has the same strength as a stretchy pair of underpants. This man is an actual horse archer dedicated to his craft.

Mihai is only standing in one place in this video.....had you done your homework before opening you mouth to reveal your ignorance of said topic then you would know that Mihai does practice shooting while on the move ....advance and retreat ect. But also Mihai here is the top rated and ranked horse archer in the world, so doing this from the back of a horse at full gallop makes him far more mobile and dynamic than what you are implying and Lars happens to be good friends with Mihai as am I , we all have nothing but respect for each other....but yes Lars is very good as well but he doesn't seem to get along well with horses so much despite his wish to be able to ride very well

master Mihai is also using a lightweight bow, i believe it is the same draw weight as Lars uses. that is not to take anything away from him i am massively Thank full for his footage showcasing the technique as when i read the description from the fifteenth century arabic training manual for iself i found his showcasing his mastery of the technique here on uboob extremely useful. and it's horses for courses and practice makes perfect. the bow i use is double that of theirs in draw weight and yet master Mihai has twice the range and penetration on his videos than i can currently achieve this way. been practicing Asiatic archery techniques for maybe nine months now so i will obviously get there in the end but again Thank You master Mihai because here i am still rewatching and drawing inspiration from this short almost six months after i first saw it.
