((WARNING - EXTREME SARCASM))
You know, Olympic recurve is boring.
I mean, you know, it's so easy - you've got these sights and stabilisers, and this space-age material....
You know, I need a new bow
Something challenging, and something that's... traditional.
Something real men would use. Something durable and strong. Something that represents
wisdom and something natural like a herb.....
I don't know - what bow could I possibly get...
((chimes))
Hey guys, NUSensei here, and today I've got a new bow.
What kind of bow, do you ask?
Well, it's an archery bow.
This part here, is the wooden bit
And you hold it here, on the...err...hand holder...yeah, hand holder.
Now these don't have an official name, but they kind of look like arms...yeah, arms!
These are the 'vans'
And you pull it back. Kind of like a fish hook....and then....(SNAP)
I've looked at dozens of professional photos and found that the correct way to string a bow is this....
Based on what I've seen people do, the correct way to shoot is to put more weight on your front foot.
The more, the better - this brings you closer to the target without crossing the line.
You can feel the center of balance right in front of you, and you can now pose like you're f*****g Cupid.
For a more stable stance, you need to go into a squat.
This lowers your centre of mass, and engages your core muscles.
Also, many archers will leave the arrows in faraway places - this helps condition the archer by forcing them to burn more calories to fetch arrows.
The Samick Sage is such an accurate bow,
you don't need to worry about anchoring - just pull it back and shoot instinctively.
It's like throwing a ball, a very pointy one that can kill someone if you miss.
To help you shoot better, you should have the second anchor point.
It's important that you touch another spot to ensure that you are doing the same thing each time.
According to one of the most popular archery videos,
back quivers were never used, because they were really bad.
I'll show you why.....
Speed is all that matters - in war an archer who could shoot 20 arrows at close distance was effective.
Byron Ferguson is able to shoot an aspirin -
I'm going to shoot a hundred....
Overall, I'm really happy with the Samick Sage. It really is the best bow ever, it deserves 5/5 stars.
I recommend you get the heaviest limbs possible - go for 60lbs!
I shot 50lbs when I was 5 years old, & 60 is nothing!
It shoots really well - you can even take the limbs off!
It can use 'fast flight' strings - FAST FLIGHT!!
I've got no idea what it means, but it can use them!
This bow does everything - you can shoot targets, you can go hunting.....
It kills cancer cells and ends world hunger!
I would recommend the Samick Sage over boring, dumb Olympic recurve any day!
Sage is love. Sage is life. This is NUSensei, thanks for watching, and I'll see you......
((Deep breaths))
ahhhhhh
AAARRGGHHHHH!!!
