    @crackwiser
    Bir antrenman?za gelin, orada konu?uruz. Niyetiniz varsa özel mesaj at?n…

  3. crackwiser says:

    I see no point in using this overdraw technique with light bows, like the one in this vid. seems to be

  5. abdulkabza says:

    Hermes,
    Thumbring was probably invented to reach relative longer draws with shorter composite bows. Pulling the string with one finger (thumb) avoids finger pinch in shorter bows. I have seen some Czech archers shooting Korean bows (as short as the Turkish bow) with two fingers but it would have not been possible with heavier warbows. After all, thumb release has additional advantages…

    :)

    Have fun!

    i dint tried to trick you it was obvious.. if you want to know hermes is a pretty rare name in greece. also my old channel was only for archery purpose i decided to have a channel for all my hobbies.

  8. adyona says:

    :)

    Why should you have bad feelings? You are the one who tried to trick me…. ;)

    Also are you the only guy in Greece whose name is Hermes? Are you the only guy who gets problems with his thumb when switching to thumb shooting? I was just cautious…

    I thought you just had a sore thumb, didnt know it was broken. Sorry to hear that…

    Why do you not use your previous profile?

  9. HermesDo says:

    you already knew my name is hermes. you see this channel name. you also see i use turkish bow and i mentioned a broken thumb… i am not naughty i just thought it WAS OBVIOUS!!!!!! anyway no bad feelings from me.

  10. adyona says:

    Hermes, Hermes, Hermes… Why didnt you tell me at the beginning? Were you trying to fool me? Naughty, naughty…

  11. HermesDo says:

    i dont like the word replica it makes it sound bad.. i think it is a very good bow. BTW argirotoxos92 had a big break while studing taekwondo and wing chun kung fu. and he is back!!! i am him!!!that doesnt mean i dont do taekwondo and wing chun anymore. i just hooked up with archery again cause my thumb is okey!!! nomore thumbrings for me…… three fingers way FTW!!

  12. adyona says:

    The Grozer is a replica, therefore it is not custom made for thumbring shooting. So it doesnt really matter; shoot the way you want. Just remember to have fun with it!

    BTW argirotoxos92 above is also from Greece and he was also interested in Turkish Archery. Unfortunately I wasnt able to pay atention to him lately.

  13. HermesDo says:

    i feel a little cornered by the fact i use the three fingers way to shoot my turkish bow is it better to shoot with thumbring?

  14. adyona says:

    Thanks!
    We have not yet worked on majra yet, therefore no videos. Sorry!
    I also would recommend you to watch the videos of gokmenpasha and abdulkabza. They are the guys in this video.

  15. stabdaback says:

    I saw diagrams of this method. I always mistook it as the majra. This is an AWESOME video.
    The Turkish people and Koreans share many similarities. Our language derives from the same family, but our bows are similar as well, down to the fact that we both have methods of shooting small arrows. I think only Korean and Turkish archery has small arrow shooting methods.

  16. stabdaback says:

    can you post a video of a majra next time? That would be cool. I always wanted to see it. Wanna know how it’s different from the Korean pyunjun

  17. GuitaristontheFloor says:

    The turks are the best archers who ever lived.

  18. daryush55 says:

    Yeah, I use a thumb ring. We have competitions in the UK, in a field somewhere (it changes yearly).

    If it takes lots of skill to master it then I should probably get practicing :) You’re right, Gökmen did make it look quite easy!

  19. adyona says:

    Well, I personally did not take part in the building process. Besides they require great skill to master. Gökmen just makes it look easy.
    Do you shoot with a tumb ring?
    Where do you hold those competitions?

  20. daryush55 says:

    Hi.

    How do you make a siper? I’m interested in getting one for our flight archery competitions later in summer.

    Thanks!

  21. adyona says:

    We get the arrows from various places, for example bowsportsdotcom or bauhaus, B&Q etc. The siper is self made. The grip clothing too…

  22. daryush55 says:

    Hi, thanks for the upload!

    Where do you get your equipment (the arrows, the siper, and the grip-cloth thing) from?

    Thanks!

  23. adonist7 says:

    Ah, ok… Thanks allot! :)

  24. adyona says:

    No. The pupose of using a siper is to use shorter arrows. Shorter arrows means lower mass, lower mass means greater speed, greater speed means greater distances. Sipers most propably were not used for war archery…

  25. adonist7 says:

    Quick question( from amateur) , but isin’t it easier to get longer arrows?

    Thanks!
