Couldn't watch it all, dial up. Saw this guy once who was a mongolian smacking things rapid fire on the back of one of their painted pony's (for you Arthur) shooting one of their shorts bows/fingers. That dude was dangerous.

Koreans. Just shows you what anyone can do if they put their mind to it. Be kind of fun to spend some time there shooting with them.

Zen in archery is a very long process. I don't know if the Koreans practice this however.

In Zen, for years they learn to simply draw a bow without shooting it, proper drawing.

Then after mastering drawing the bow, they get to shoot it but only in complete darkness so there is no regards to actually aiming but learning to release properly. .

Finally after years of drawing and releasing do they finally get to actually aim the bow.

Very diciplined.

i need to read that book - zen and the art of archery.

I've read it. Boiled down to it's basic essence, it can be summarized as: Concentrate on your target so completely that the target becomes your whole world. When the whole world is your target, how can you possibly miss?

HA HA.. Big deal. Years before they even shoot an arrow? Shooting in the dark? Well heck I know guys who pick up a new bow at wally worlds on sunday to hunt monday.

WOW!!!!

i heard there's a really funny part about when the fellow is, basically, cheating his release.

It's a good book. A slightly different approach than buying your first bow a month before deer season, buying improperly spined arrows, and expecting to hit anything.


Great video.
Ah, the fruits of self-discipline and focus.

i wouldnt want them shooting at my beans. lol

In my opinion a guy who shoots like that is less dangerous than the guy who buys the bow at wally's to go hunting the next day......zen or not !!
