Another video on how to brace and balance a Turkish horn/sinew composite bow. The bow is made from maple, waterbuffalo horn, deer sinew, hide/fish glue, vegetable tanned leather, natural pigments and traditional oil varnish. It's about 75 pounds at 27 inches, and is a Bayezid type of Turkish bow. These bows are made to order at Kviljo buemakeri in Norway. Feel free to send me an email if you could be interested in ordering one.

Great video. I hope you don't mind some constructive criticism, I think some repetition could be edited out. The viewers can replay, if they want to see/hear a certain point again. e.g 0:34 to 1:15 could be trimmed. I believe there is a "3 second rule" which suggests segments of 3 seconds for clarity and impact. My apologies if this unwelcomed criticism, as it a privilege to hear you talking on this subject.

You are absolutely right 😄 It was basically just two takes, if I remember right, and I could not decide how to mix them together - so i just put one after the other 😅 I prefer to edit the least amount as it takes soo much time to do

Interesting. So, how precise can an archer be (let's say at 40-50 meters) with these powerful (90-130 pounds) very short Turkish bows? Just curious because it has always seemed to me that this kind of bows were for war at very short distances, but not for shooting precisely over longer distances. I am a western style longbow and flat bow archer, so I might be completely wrong. Thanks for sharing.

In Istanbul the men were competing at 90 meters at a 70x110 cm target. In the recent years they have reduced it to 70 meters. Historically you would be considered a "Kemankeş"/bow-puller if you managed to hit such a target at 165 meters, while shooting below a string that was set two meters in front of and two meters above the ground from the archer. These standards are far beyond what we are playing with today 😅

How long can you leave them string and how long does it need to rest after longer periods of being strung? I have some vintage all natural Yumis that I cycle. They need to be kept strung to maintain proper shape but they also need rest periods to remove the string follow that develops and regain power.

May he rest in peace. Would love to hear more about mughal bows (build and performance) since information about them is hard to find. It boggles my mind that the horn is narrower than the limbs. It looks like there a spot without horn on a limb of your bow at 3:22 . Is there translucent horn ?

@kviljo 3 месяца назад

@@snakeoveer1046 😄 It looks like that, because originally the horn was covered in sinew, but then I later on scraped the sinew partly away. The quality of the original bows vary quite a lot, it seems. They are certainly cool looking bows

Where do you get your Turkish composite bows? I've ordered a Bicomposite Bow from Grozer but want to get into full composite bows when I go to a higher poundage.

@kviljo 10 месяцев назад

I make them, and it's possible to order by contacting me / Kviljo buemakeri

@qg786 10 месяцев назад

@@kviljo Grozer are still making my 60lbs bicomposite Turkish bow, I'll be training up with it when I get it. I'm going to go up to around 70lbs for the next bow and will contact you when I feel it's time to upgrade. I couldn't find your email.
