A first person point of view on how to grip the bow correctly for a thumb draw archer. This grip will also assist with your khatra technique development. Facebook link: / bambooarchery WhatsApp link: wa.me/60122669631
Good day Ronald, Today I studied this video of yours with total intent to fix my disgusting habit of after loosening my arrow it would land at a 45 degree angle.For years 5 to be exact the arrow landed this way ,which pissed me off. After scrutinizing this video of yours it fixed my cancerous habit.Now my arrows land totally straight.Thanks to you , now you proved to me that you are an archery Shi Fu.Thank you so much for helping me to finally fix this issue of mine.You can not believe me how many different videos I watched on this subject but yours is the one that fixes my problem.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊A million thank you’s from Canada.
You're welcomed. Would appreciate a quick review on Google review to help offset the bad people and fake reviews. You can check out the video about Fight Hate With Love. Google search for Bamboo Archery and you should find the review tab.
@@bambooarchery Did a Google search for Bamboo Archery ,and left a review of course a positive one.Took a shot at the one star rascist reviews at the same time.Thanks again for your help you are awesome don’t let these jerks push you around.We all know you are a great guy.
Very nice video. I knew something was wrong recently with my grip, I just forgot what I learned at the beginning and started to deviate from the good from. Thanks for the reminder.
thankyou so much. This video solves so many problems I have. Going from pistol style grips is a huge disadvantage without an explanation like this. Also do you have any more close ups of the side of your grip? Thanks again!
Thank you very much for this explanation. I just happened to come across a post that linked me here. I have been very much self taught in the way of thumb draw; with some insights from friends that have read books and my own research, testing and practice. I am very happy to hear that I was very close to the conventional grip! I am going to be testing this out tomorrow morning and correcting my grip to more mimic yours. Previously, I was using my middle and ring finger without the pinkie on the grip at all. I was trying to apply a forward pressure with the middle and ring finger. I was experimenting with my hand pressure and had thought to myself to try the ring finger and pinkie instead again, as that was what my friend said. It did give me quieter results with less arrow slap. This will certainly help me get more consistent down range.
Seems like you're in a good direction. The middle finger is kinda optional. I usually use it to add more pressure and torque. But for lighter bows both in draw poundage and physical weight, the middle finger may be interfering more than I wished.
@@bambooarchery Ohh I see. I am currently using a KTB from Daylite archery. Which is 45LBS @ 30". Would you consider that on the 'lighter' side or heavier? I also have and use the same bow but in 55LBS I did do some testing today, I seem to have the most comfortable grip with the middle and ring, but I was able to mimic your hand posture and it helped a lot :)
@@Jezzyftw I would consider those poundages as medium. But it is really subjective. Those using 100# will call it light. Korean bows require high torque, so utilizing all 3 lower fingers will be good
@@bambooarchery High torque? is that correct? I've been trying to use as little torque as I can get away with to center the shot; in order to not damage the bows. I have not had any limb twist thankfully with a Daylite Archery KTB. However when I first started out, I had used a Nomad KTB from a different company and that had almost immediately twisted on me. The only difference between the two bows that I can judge would be the grip. The daylite archery bows have the small grip While the Nomad had the more 'traditional' fat grip. Which I think is what caused me to twist the bow. I may have just been really twisting the bow to force the Katra. Rather than applying a pressure forward with only the fingers (which is what I do now) More practice is needed ~ This'll be fun.
@@Jezzyftw due to the width of arrow pass and low brace height of Korean bows, Korean Traditional Archery technique actually performs a very strong torque on the bow. This does twist the bow in the long term. So trying to balance between torque and bow lifespan can be tricky. I've had used a Korean bow before and I do apply a fairly strong torque but I try not to be too forceful. Increasing gradually until I find the point where it's just enough to clear the bow/arrow and nothing more.
@@bambooarchery Good form and proper same robotic moves do a good jub with all those etc. And yes totally correct, result on a target and arrow flight show everything as it is.
Thank you for your answer deeply appreciated.I am starting a collection of the word Khatra in different languages so far I got Mongolian “Orkikh” ,also in Japanese “hanarae”
