Atilla was not born in Hungary, he was originally from somewhere around what is now Russia before his invasions westward, but he did make his main camp in the Pannonian basin where Hungary now is. The ethnicity of the Huns is uncertain but they were most likely related to Turks or Scythians, or possibly a multi-ethnic confederation consisting of tribes from both groups. The Magyars (ancestors of the Hungarians who first migrated to Europe) claimed descent from the Huns due to their fame, as did many other steppe peoples, but there is no reason to believe they actually were related. As for how Atilla would’ve looked, contemporary Roman accounts describe him as being short, flat-nosed tan-skinned, and having “small eyes”, which likely suggests a more Asian appearance.

Historically, archery has been done with the arrow on the right side of the bow, it's only recently with stationary archery that we see the arrow being used on the left side. These releases aren't much different in a historical context, or at least not with the reasoning he gave.

@BrotherCarver

@@Likexner You can see it in Medieval paintings, both recreated and original, that the arrows cross over the right side of the bow. It even makes more sense just from a logical standpoint, putting the arrow on the right side of the bow requires the archer to use both eyes to assess his target, which would have given archers a greater sense for depth, especially in closer combat. In Medieval warfare this was done since archers were generally much closer to the infantry than you'd think, they couldn't feasibly use modern standards for stationary archery since they were actively a part of the battle and stationary archery is just too slow and inflexible for that level of combat. Bringing that point home, we know that Medieval archers would often keep spare arrows in their bow hand, grabbing them with their free hand and rapidly firing them, which is most comfortable to do when the arrow is knocked on the right of the bow. Even with Mongols, it's reasonable to extrapolate that they did the same thing since they heavily used mounted archers, and like the video says, you can't easily stabilize a bow on the left side when on a horse. It's generally reasonable to assume that slinging the arrow on the left side of the bow is a modern creation since it almost entirely relies on sporting conditions.

So, thumb grip/ right of bow launch position: the string compresses the arrow at the nock, arrow bends around the bow as it launches, arrow thus clears the bow and flies oscillating wave form, mid shaft, tip and tail with two node points about 1/20 of the arrow shaft length in from tip and tail; faster, more kinetic energy because thumb grip pulls string further than fingertips, it's ~ 3-4" more bowflex potential energy

@HuchiaZ

Жыл бұрын

Your index finger is pressuring the arrow to the handle and string of the bow in a perpendicular force. So while riding you might have the arrow move away from the handle slightly due to force but it would be very small and you'd likely have counterforce from your handle arm to minimise this further. With the Mediterranean draw you only have pressure on the arrow between the soft flesh of your two fingers on the string, so gravity is the only thing pressuring the arrow. If you shake any part of it the string becomes the fulcrum point of a lever-like movement. So you could pressure the arrow, but it would only keep it knocked since you can't really pressure the shaft -thus the tip still bounces around the string even if you use counterforce.

When I was a kid I used to rest on my thumb side and draw with the post fletch. After being corrected I had to relearn how to aim again

he should be saying European not American

I actually learned something off the internet today. 😁👍💯

That explains why kyudo also does this kind of form as well. The samurai were mounted archers way back then

Remember when one of the hosts dry fired the instructors bow and he got a bit upset?

I will have to try this

Didn't know there was such thing as "American archery"

American Archery has since evolved to where we have given up on silly string pulling and now we just pull the F’n trigger. 😂

It's different from Anglo archery. Many Americans grew up learning several release techniques

Might want to invest in a bracer if shooting a bow is causing you pain.

With the western draw done correctly, you don't need to stabilize the arrow. The string rotates as you draw and pushes it against the bow on the arrow rest. Now if you need to draw quickly while riding, I could see how the thumb side for an arrow rest would be helpful and in that case, the same draw technique would instead pull the arrow right off the bow. So his technique will rotate the string the other way and hold it to the thumb side. You could do an upside down 2 finger grip. That would have the same effect. And it is similar to how you often pull back when using a trigger release on a compound bow. Just gotta make sure you're grabing the string from the opposite side of the arrow and allowing the natural rotation of the string rather than forcing it to be straight. Same principle either way.

I shot competitive archery (bare bow, no sights as well) for years. Unless your using some special kind of arrows, the nock on the end of the arrow would not have enough grip to rotate with the string. Its just not that tight. In addition to that, whether your using a release aid or not, the string doesn't rotate to one side or another when you draw. You're pulling it straight back, not back and rotating in.

I cant imagine a time, when riding on horseback, that shooting fast wouldnt be the priority

No need for history when Age of Empires exists

My girlfriend already knows about my Mediterranean drawback 🙃

Heavy Archers also had the arrow on the outer side since it is easier to draw the bow like that if it has a high draw weight.

Having the arrow on either side of the bow has literally zero affect on draw weight.

Having the arrow on the thumb side is also easier to nock the arrow while riding, especially when you have to use either hand to shoot your bow as targets on either side of the track means you are swapping which arm. We were taught to use both hands equally since you never know which side of the horse the enemy will be on.

It is beautiful to hear something so well explained.

The inventers of the "parting shot". Riding a running horse with no hands and turning to face backwards and sending an arrow at any pursuers. Changed warfare.

drawing with the thumb is better for beginners because they don't twist the string and that's a hill I'll die on

I love how the algorithm has decided that anyone who has AOE in their watch history now has to watch this short as well. Sometimes the algorithm gets it right.

Isn't American archery whatever the native American archers did? Lol at everyone in this thread who thinks he's talking about Europeans who moved to America and mainly used guns in combat.

Has nothing to do with that. Mongolians even shot from the left side of the bow when on the ground. Shooting from the right with the thumb draw is primarily a horseback archery technique.
