Great video Man! I like the turkish bow the best! Just seems smoother for your shooting. I cannot pull that draw weight but you got a natural canter to it. Both bows are awesome!
Thanks for the upload!! What I would love to see is a speed test with your Manchu Bow Yarha and the heavy 100 grams/1500+grains arrow! Judging from your videos the Yarha seemed to handle the heavy weight arrow well. I think the result of speed testing the Yarha with heavy arrow could be interesting! Best regards!!
hmm? thickness affecting bow's loss in tension is completely unbound. ex) very thick Longbows lose their tension much quicker than composite bows including Turkish, Mongolian, & Korean bows. composite bows lose their tention much slower and are more energy efficient. downside would be that they need extra attention. If i remember it correctly there's a LOT of maintenance for Korean traditional bows. If they are well taken care of, they last a life time. there are many Chinese/Monglian/Korean history to back that up : generals/soldiers keeping a good bow for their entire life and even passing it to generations. and the Korean bow in the video is NOT the traditonal one. they call it "Semi" traditional bow, if that was your point.
Yes there's lot of maintenance needed for composite bow like korean bow because of its thinner limb than most other composite bow, But while it got elasticity it doesnt get much tensile strength to keep the shape of its limb when unstringed in long run. I think the best comparison would be like turkish bow and korean bow, both got the same lenght, but while turkish curve less when unstringed, it still keep its shape much longer than korean bow.
Agreed. At least Same draw weight. or the comparison may be meaningless because bow manufacturers these days only change the form factors of the bow and call them different bows, although they have almost identical manufacturing process, with often same materials. But it will be hard to get traditional bows like that these days. So let's cheer the youtuber for the effort:)
It was a very nice comparison. Thanks to you for given your energy to these bows :) Also I think it's unfair comparison. Turkish bows not for pedestrian. It's designed to be on horseback. If the Korean bow is also designed like that then it's fair. And we must to respect the results. The Turks dont like any loosing anywhere, so please don't take offense to bad comments :) Thanks from Turkey.
in this example i think the turkish 50 lbs bow is less cumbersome if you need to shoot many arrows, with less power of course but... one is 60 lbs and the other 50. I feel the true is the same kind of bow, the best solution to the same problem, a small but very powerful bow.
Jeez, you shoot well. I've only been shooting 11weeks starting with a 30# wooden bow to 35#, then 40#, to now a 45# alloy bow Mediterranean style, but really interested in trying the horse bows in higher 50#+ poundages.
iyoo1 a question I have is since many people comment on the necessity of drawing past the more conventional anchor points to almost the ear, how can you achieve a consistent shot with a "floating" anchor? Perhaps I misunderstood something. And, thanks for making the content.
thank you for taking your time to watch. as far as i know many oriental archers don't have solid anchor point. koreans pull their string all the way back almost behind head. when they reach tip of the arrow they know they are in Mahn Jak (means full draw). other than that, details of techniques, i do not know. i hope i had a coach but i'm doing 'trying and error' method. ^_^;
Yes, but the Korean is a 60 lbs draw as opposed to the Turkish which is 50 lbs draw. Not really a contest but the Turkish did have a energy almost equal that of the Korean.
I really don’t think there’s a huge difference between these bows other than region. They are literally the same shape with similar construction consisting of a horn for more energy.
The grooved arrow system has been found and developed by Turkish Khan Metehan first time in weapon history , you have to use same style bows and arrows ..
Hey dude, how do i know if i twisted a bow? I have kaya firefox and when i put it on the floor the upper limb is not flat on one side, and when i flip it the bottom limb is not flat.
That’s definitely twisted limbs. Just massage the limbs slowly back to form paying attention to which limb is the crooked one by referring to the riser/handle. Do this in a moderately warm area so o not over stress the bow.
I want to say something about the Turkish bow, this is not actually the Turkish bow. Because there should be buffalo tendon outside the bow and buffalo horn inside.
This is not Turkish Bow vs Korean Bow. This is actually Alibow turkish style vs Korean style (manufacturer? ) bow "Products" comparison and test. They both not original historic bows. But good to see them both.
Although it looks like you are an avid shooter. It looks like your release was a little premature and yes I hate too say sometimes a little but sloppy. This I could see when your Chrono readings were slower. Very cool for learning bad habits. What is your draw length? It looks like your consistent with hand placement for draw but is that 28" or 30" no way for us to tell if you were doing a slight over or under draw this changing the draw weight. Good video overall. I have seen the Turkish bow from Ali on the web and wondered about it's performance.
hi, john. i'm only a few years in archery. turkish bow is 50 at 28, korean bow is 60 at 28. i know i'm not very consistent. it's a big hurdle i need to overcome since i did not have someone teaching me. turkish bow from alibow is a great bow. if the user - me - can use it in full potential of the bow. :) thanks for watching and comment. :)
Dude, Korean bow poundage is designed at about 31 inches. Not at 28 :) so it should be considered about 4 to 6 pounds less from 60# if your full draw is 28. anyway, thanks for your vid.
if you compare two bows both should be the same lb . we sure to expect the one which has more poundage would be more powerful since they both are asian bows.
It looks like your bow hand is a little late on the kahtra, just saying..Also the Korean bow needs the traditional large handle for really good kahtra. I have 3 and they give great bow hand control, the Koreans knew what they were doing !!
TheDave570 thank you. I'm till practicing. Also I wrapped handle and, yes, that helps a bit. Now days I practice hwal-dae-up-gi with Korean style bow. A long journey :)
Curious to what brands and your opinions on quality of build. I'm an experienced bow hunter (traditional), but I want to try a horse bow. Thanks for the help. All the detractors commenting on RU-vid videos are losers.
Modern or old, no matter where the bow comes from...the result is the some if you get hit/shot by one. Weight, range etc is just "modern nit picking" and becomes silly. Nice vid tho.
o türk yayı değil arkadaşım, taklit olarak yapılmış sanırım, türk yayı daha hızlı ok atması için kısa yapılır ve kıvrımları dışa doğru bakar, kandırmışlar koreli kardeşimizi.
First is not a Turkish Bow. 23 April 1920 is formed Turkish Nation, you mean Ottoman Bow. Korean and Türkish Bow are same homie. Only difference is you take other Woods, Korean take Bamboo.
There isn't a race as known Ottoman! They were Turks. Turk Nations exist from B.C 200 to nowadays. There is no difference between Turkey and Ottoman! So keep in your mind for yourself those dirty thoughts ...
Osmanlı'dan önce Türk'ler yay kullanmıyor muydu da Ottoman Bow diyorsun adı.İnsanlara yalan yanlış bilgi verme ayıptır. Osmanlılara gelene kadar o yay tekniği kullanan dolu Türk devleti vardı.
That is an improved form for dissemination, not a traditional style of Korean bow. HaHaHa!! Compared to traditional Korean bow, the story is different! ^^ The Korean bow is a U - shaped when released.
It is not a real Turkish bow you use. The real Turkish broadcast takes a year and a half. and its average speed is 250 fps. And the long range is on Turkish records with 847 meters in world record.
this is not Turkic bow. Turkic bow made by Horn and need to wait 1.5-2 years. and need to be inclined. And Turkic bow covered by animals tendoms and animal skin. Thats materiel gave slope And Turkic bow can use on horse.
+rep from Turkey this is a no Turkish ( Turkic ) bow this is a just shit PVC bow... Turkish bow need to wait for (nearly 5 years ) . yes it can wait 1.5-2 years but it can be not soo elastic :)
I guess I'm not understanding the purpose of this...."review " I guess you might call it ...is it a comparison or a review of two different bows or which has better khatra..the purpose is very unclear here .
That bow is not turkish bow , that is fake cuz the real turkish bow is not only wooden , more than 5 different material using in real turkish bow , and the worlds speedest bow is turkish bow cuz the world record broken by a turkish guy who named Tozkoparan iskender , he shoot 846 meters with real traditional turkish bow ... soo that one is fake , sorry dude ...
The Korean style bow is different from the real Korean traditional bow. The real Korean traditional bow has a C shape when it is untied and has much more elasticity than the Korean style bow of the video. That is why the real Korean traditional bow called Gakgung is the the strongest bow in the world. The old Turkish moved from Far East Asia to the present location and learned the bow making skill from old Koreans. And the old Koreans were called "East Bow people".
long bows it takes more time and is heavy you tiring long bow. This is two bows same famillian bows but you kill 10 enemies per minute on long bows, you kill 18 enemies on short bows, you can also use it on horseback. it cannot be seize up when you turn left, right and left. Turks how do you think it took half of europe???
It's so funny how butt hurt the Turks are in this comparison. Relax guys they are both fiberglass replicas. Nothing to get all worked up over the kid is not doing science or saying his country Is better than yours. He is just having a go at it a little fun with some commercial made cheap bows, So lighten up Francis.
The turks are insane when it comes to archery. If you ask a turkish person they will probably say that the turks invented everything from the thumbring to the hornbow. It’s pretty funny for sure. I mean it’s not like there were hundreds of turkic tribes or something like that, right.. It seems that most turks don’t understand this piece of history.
Yes for sure. The turkish turks got influenced by their arabian neighbours I imagine, while other turkic groups like the uighurs do have a more asiatic appearance.
I am not butthurt lmao, I am happy to accept loss if I do. I had conversation about the types of shields used by Turks and Europeans and I accepted that ourd were inferiour, but this test doesn't really seem to be reliable that's all I lm saying.
