Finnish traditional and horse archer shooting and studying historical archery on foot, on horseback, and even on skis.
We will build a focus towards ancient archery traditions especially of Finno-Ugric and North Asiatic peoples, but will be no alien to explore wide spectrum of archery of different times and tribes from historical sources to folklore. Bows and arrows, history and techniques, crafts in and out the bush.
And on occasion we just draw the bow for the sake of scenery, or proceed with skill shots for challenge and entertainment.

Godspeed your healing Brother
Beautiful technique. If you hold your stance during the Zanshin for 2-3 seconds more it'll be perfect.
Would it be rude to ask for your height? I’m trying to find reference on how long an arrow I will need for my Yarha. The bow seems to fit you nicely though.
Not rude at all, it's a relevant question. I'm about 173 cm / 5.67 feet tall. The suitable arrows for me, excluding the head, are around 32". In this video I'm using slightly overly long ones.
Beautiful technique.

This detailed description helped a lot. Took me half an hour until I risked it... It feels like the lower limb get a little tilted on the knee so I tried very slow and carefully and it just works out fine. The 80 lbs manchu strungs so smooth and soft. I had heard it is much harder to strung such a manchu bow cause of the missing leverage during stringing. My 74 lbs hybrid longbow is a pain to string with step thru method so I am happy that this works so well. For heavier bows 90+ I use a stinger but it really is confusing with reflex limbs, windings and leather on the limbs.... Just great instructions it is more easy to strung the 80 Manchu this way than a 50 lbs short turkish or mongolian bow in conventional style.
Good to hear the video has proven useful for you. Once you get the idea of this stringing method it starts to feel really practical. However, it should be noted that most of the modern time bowmakers, including Alibow, do not recommend this sort of techniques to be used on their products. It's for an individual archer to decide whether to use it or not. From my personal experience there's no harm done for any of the bows I've strung like this, but it's important to be careful with the bow positioning in order not to twist it in misfortunate ways.

Is there a reason you're waiting to duck? This technique seems to be "defensive", specifically focused on keeping you in cover. So grabbing the next arrow instead of starting the duck first seems like alot of time you don't need to be exposed.
Indeed there's a little pause to grab the next arrow, and I think for me it's instinctively needed to keep good rhythm and form. This is actually Kassai's horseback archery training exercise, but thinking from combat archery perspective it truly can be also seen as ducking behind the cover for nocking.
Did you order your yumi online? If so, which type is it?
My yumi is a custom made by Jaap Koppedrayer, a long-time traditional bowyer. He's based in Canada and can make various sorts yumi, as well as other traditional bows as well.
Flu Flu arrows sound awesome in flight

Bravo 👏
cool🎉
WOW‼️ Imagine the surprise, of the Attacking Enemy!👍
minkälaisia nuolia saamelaiset käytti?
Hyvin monenlaisia, käyttötarkoituksen mukaan, niinkuin kaikki kansat ja kulttuurit joissa jousiammunta on tärkeässä osassa. Tylppiä kolkkanuolia, kaksihaaraisia kärkiä, leveä- ja kapeateräisiä, jne. yms. tms. Kärkimateriaali saattoi olla rautaa, luuta, sarvea tai puuta.
Hello ! Nice tutorial here ! Can I ask where you find the quiver ?
Hello, good to hear this. The quiver here is made by Zack Djurica of Nomadic Arts Archery. You can find Nomadic Arts Archery from youtube and fb. I have several of his quivers and can recommend them from my heart to anyone looking for quality historical horse archery quivers. And if interested, here's another horse training video on my channel: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gKWruslvdbjXpbA.html
Thank you so much for taking time to answer ! I'm currently begining the training of my young ex racer thorouhhbred horse and with the difficulties every advice is welcome ! Take care !
@@jean-baptisteplane5522 Sure thing, and you're welcome. I like to communicate on this channel whenever time allows. Take care you too, and best of luck with the horse. Take it nice and slowly, there's no need nor reason to rush at all.
One thing about speed archery that doesn't set well with me and other notable archers feel the same way, you'll see one of these guys shoot one arrow with something approaching form with Khatra and a nice follow through with the draw hand forming a Cresent moon behind the ear......but when they start speed shooting all form goes right out the window, whether you fire one arrow slow or ten arrows fast it should have the exact same attention to form and technique.....Mihai and Dr. Ozveri are two good examples of those who keep the same form and technique no matter how fast they shoot .
Yes, exactly, the form shouldn't be forgotten even when shooting fast. The other thing is that with many speed shooters the draw length decreases the faster they shoot. This very video emphasizes that and my thoughts are opened up in the video description. However, if you're holding arrows in the draw hand the form after the release may differ slightly compared to having an empty hand after the release. Nevertheless, the draw length and key points of the form shouldn't be ignored.
very impressive. well done

Man, for me, who has very bad eye-hand coordination your skill is beyond what I can imagine but in the same time it shows how we have started to forget such skill. Just now happens to be the time when we can witness the emergence of them because we can communicate to audience who we didn't know is looking for such content. In any way continue what you do because you are in the top of archers around the world.
Wow!
Well done! Very impressive! 🙏🏻🙇🏻♂️👍🏻
Excellent performance both in archery and skating! Bravo 👏🏻 👏🏻 👍🏻🙏🏻🙇🏻♂️!
удивительно. нейросеть не может перевести данный диалект. при том, что я вроде даже понимаю о чём идёт речь. :D
What a blessing to hear a Finn speaking Finnish.
Hey dude! I just found an old painting showing a one handed marksman riding on the back of a dolfin, with an english long bow aiming a bird in the sky without looking at it. The painting show with many detail the way he made a backflip with his dolfin at the very moment he fire the arrow. Plus, the guy is redheaded and wear a blue mini skirt.
Hehe. Excellent discovery you've got there. Too bad there are no dolfins around here, otherwise I would have started practising right away. ;)
An excellent performance, well done! But you forgot to smile while doing it 😁
Heh, indeed. I'm not on that level of expertise just yet. ;)
Sensational! Wonderful post and great shooting as always. 🙇🏻😎👍🏹
Stop showing off and get back to coding!
:D
"No look backward shot" Noted. Another move to add to my combination shots. Thank you mate, still looks very cold over there 🥶
Alright! I wish you best of success with it. This was filmed a week ago, now the ice lake has started to melt, and the spring is soon here.
excellent performance
🔥👍)
Why isnt this an olympic sport!!! It looks like so much fun too!
Every time u short u los a dard
Fantastic, the stillness the landscape and clean snow really do make it. Felt some of the focus without even being there.
Woah, slow down, man. Where's the rush 😂 But seriously, that was beautiful. You placed the camera perfectly 😁
:D Thanks!
Very cool . Great setting but wait ; no snow angel at the end ??? Glad there was no hooligan on a snowmobile, screaming around on the other side of the lake . That would have ruined the mood !
Very well shot
Thank you! meditative - consistent -- Cheers
Hyvältä näyttää 😄👌
Slow jitsu.
Hehe. Yes, but to refine ones form there are some great advantages is easy paced practise - regardless of the shooting style.
Very interesting, and highly formal looking style of archery. It reminds me of military ceremonies like the changing of the guard at the many tombs of unknown soldiers around the world. Looks like a very long draw length, I'd imagine one must be careful not to get a painful bowstring-slap on the ear or cheek!
to me it just looks like training. Like he's slowly going through the motions so he can get a feel for exactally what he needs to do.
🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🤝🤝🤝👏👏
nice videos
Hunting video?
No. I don't do that.
Very artistic shot, nicely framed by the trees. To the untrained eye the form looks good.
Nice to hear a comment like this, as I paid attention to the framing too. Aiming for the beauty of the form and scenery alike.
@@UgriArcher I think you did a good job of it.
Ummm what? Super interesting, but as a man that hasn't a clue about Japanese archery I'm very confused. The draw style is very unique, and it looks like the bottom limb crosses his front leg, like the string touching the waist could be a release point. And allowing the the momentum of the string to fully explode by letting the bow spin in hand at the end, how's ur spread on 3 arrows?
This kyudo has a form that is prescribed down to the smallest details and has nothing to do with military shooting or sport archery. I would extend the aiming a little longer myself. The bow only rotates in the hand during ceremonial shooting - not during war shooting (kyujutsu). look my videos: kyudodetmold
It truly can be confusing if one is not familiar with Japanese archery. It's impossible to pinpointed these topics properly here, but ... The string doesn't touch the waist, but at full draw it slightly touches the chest. The bow spinning around the bowhand upon release is part of certain formal practise, but not a necessity to shoot a Japanese bow. You can think it as kind of an an extreme form of khatra. The shooting distance here, in this form of practise, is so short that the grouping is pretty much always decent. I'm yet to try how I might cope with 20-60 meters distance.
@@UgriArcher That's amazing man. I just got into traditional archery myself. I dig it though
what a back drop for training. beautiful.
