The longer format videos are easier to learn from, but until the KZread chiefs change their minds again, I’ll watch your short vids, keep em coming 🏹

thanks, I wish I could warrant doing long format, but I just don't get the views

Ha, 'That's Life' I'll be expecting a Cyril Fletcher odd ode from now on. I'll be looking for my first English longbow as a 60th birthday treat in April 2025, I'd love you guys to build it for me. Great channel, always something new to learn.

Great to hear! Any help with the channel is greatly appreciated, it will help it continue and allow others to learn.

Great to see you again. These trends from you tube come and go. Hopefully the policy changes again. If not, maybe it is easy enough to turn your old "making" series into shorts. Others do this.

thanks, sadly the shorts hasn't made any difference, maybe we have to start again like the other new channels that have battered us in weeks

Hi there, I'm rather new at all of this and currently in the process of making my first bow. I bought the traditional bowyers bible but especially as a beginner it's not actually that easy to read and use as a guide. So the kind of content you're putting out is greatly appreciated and I'll definitely check out the how to build website! But I also totally understand the problems around KZread, I have a bunch of friends and acquaintances who are makers and who put up content and seeing the hoops they have to jump through to "play the KZread game", I totally hear you. Thanks for trying though, as I said, it's greatly appreciated.

thanks, that is very kind words and much appreciated, I really hope you enjoy the website and your bow making journey, I hope we can help along the way

As a young dude getting into ELB I’ve been binging all your vids so I can learn and pick up as much as I can, archery’s a very small niché anyway and the ELB community is a much smaller branch from that, but in terms of video content you guys have absolutely cornered and dominated this market as the only other English longbow content out there is either about the Hundred Years’ War and or warbow testing so it’s awesome that you guys are the source for longbow target archery 😁

@@longbowsnot been a challenge at all, it’s been a pleasure actually and incredibly informative 😁 at the moment I’m only making my arrows but it’s the first time for me to use wood, I enjoy your videos allot as I’m a carpenter but wood working for archery equipment is a much finer skill in the trade so it’s been very informative for me 😁

I'd like to see videos of your bows in action. I'm not all that familiar with your kind of longbow, and I would find it very interesting to see them perform at a 3D course, etc.

I don't watch shorts. I like long form. I'd like to see more arrow painting techniques.

Shorts format sucks...my tv and laptop are landscape. How hard is it for some kid to turn their mobile around and try an concentrate on something longer than a few minutes

Indeed but as long as TouTube prioritise it, then I have to keep making them

I will either send you another tip after tax day, or I will be moving into your shed.

Hey I'm an old fart plus a Brit and living down under plus a bowyer and I prefer the longer the videos so keep them up. Stuff KZread I say. I could have said it in a more direct way but it would have been beep out. Being a Brit/Aussie veteran, I was trained to swear every over word just about. Keep up the great work and keep it coming, you just about died, I did in the Veterans Hospital here in Sth Australia back in Dec 23 being paddled.
