Anchor Points in Turkish Shooting Technique-Türk Atış Tekniğinde Çapa Noktaları

Спорт

The term "anchor point" refers to the spot that the string of the bow is pulled before it is released. Although this is a term of western archery literature, Eastern literature also mentions how far and on which level the string should be pulled. In Persian sources there are 5 levels of anchor that are distinguished. In the Ottoman archery literature there is only one anchor point, the earlobe, that is advocated. But there is evidence that they knew the others, as the chest-level anchor was also mentioned, but said to be inferior. But in other Turkish cultures like that of Mughals, chest-level anchor was used. This (and maybe other) low-level anchors were also used by Crimean Tatars and Polish cavalry which we know had adopted many aspects of Turkish warfare. So, it makes sense to believe that lower anchor levels have been in use in early Turkish and Turkic archery culture. Here we explained and demonstrated these anchors and also showed that a skilled archer may switch from one to another without diminishing the accuracy within combat distances.

    I doubt it. Thumb release was used by the warriors of the professional armies of East. They practiced quite well, with persistancy and dedication. Even I can handle 80+pound bows easily at my age, which I believe was too old for ancient times to be an active and functional warrior. So, they might've been quite in control of 100+ pound bows, even from different anchor points.

    You flip the bow sideways and forward after release, does this allow you to use a wider variety of arrows spine-wise? To be more concrete: can you shoot arrows which wouled be too stiff for the bow with "normal" release and would fly to the left or right depending on which side of the bow you are resting the arrow? Or can you even ignore arrow spine (as long as it is not too weak and breaks) and shoot very stiff arrows?

  • @abdulkabza

    Spine issue is not completely illegible w thumb release but you can handle a very wide spectrum of shafts with this lateral twist of the bow. The classical Turkish hatra, which is the forward tilting of the bow,does effect the dynamic spine as well,but not as much as the twist.

In old treatises there are 3, 4 and sometimes 5 gripping techniques have been mentioned but unfortunately, they are named but rarely described. I did a biomechanical study with academics in sports sciences and evaluated two of these grip-techniques together with the related hatra styles. So, hatra is a natural outcome of how you grasp and push/torque the bowgrip.

I am just about getting used to using a thumb ring and am going to lengthen my draw to my earlobe today at the range. But with western style grip you hold very loose with Index finger, do you use firm grip with thumb draw archery? Unfortunately no one shoots this way that I know so struggle to get the right form when shooting Any tips would be greatly receives

    There are referrals to both Mamluk and Mughals in the video. Mughals had ethnic relations with Turks and Mongols but the Turkish cultural influence should be considered as being dominant as can be seen clearly in Baburnamah, the memories of Babur Shah himself. He mentions sending a falcon to invaders as a diplomatic way of threating, and calls it a Turkish custom ("as it has always been done when Turkish land was invaded by others"). Another very good proof is that the text is written in Chaghatay dialect of Turkish, also known as "Eastern Turkish". Although there are no archery treatises from Mamluks, at least not to my best knowledge, Baburnamah reveals some technical aspects of bowhooting, like that of a lower anchor. And that was the point that I referred to in the video.

    Simply because everybody thinks that all Ottoman bows were short. They weren't. According to Dr. Yücel the lengths of the bows in Topkapı Palace Museum vary 88 to 135 cm. For archers who drew very long there were Crimean Tatar bows which shud be considered among the bows of the empire. They have not been used by Tatars only but manufactured in Istanbul and perhaps used in Central Asia too.
