Hi all
I?m interesting in learning how to shoot an Asiatic bow/horse bow and wondered if I could get a few pointers please. I shoot bare bow recurve currently, and want to learn to shoot the horsebow using a thumb ring in a traditional style ( I appreciate there are many styles . I?ll be horse free however heh.
Are there any recommended dvds/books/styles that would help me on my journey?
I was thinking about buying a Groser Old Scythian Bow to start with as they nicely priced, and I have seen in another thread that the Kaya bow comes recommended too? I could then upgrade to a more expensive bow as I learn more. My recurve is 34 lbs, but thought maybe 30lbs for the horse bow to help with getting the technique correct. Plus, I?ll be drawing more than my usual 28??.
As I wear glasses, are there any styles that traditionally don?t draw too far back? Someof the clips I have seen look like the release would knock my glasses off lol.
Any advice to get me started on the right path would be great, thanks. I?m in the UK btw, and a member of a target archery club (which would be it's use at the mo).
Thanks
