That was a very informative presentation. I was very impressed with your familiarity with the text and your comfort in talking through concepts. With time, we may see you master the hand movements for smoother shooting.
Thank you very much, hopefully but will take a long time!
😂😂😂
I usually don't leave comments but I wanted to say it was a great video showcasing/highlighting the techniques of medieval Arab archery. Great presenting skills, very informative and great way of speaking.
Plus because of this I found a new channel covering the topics I was always interested! Can't wait for your future videos!
Very interesting. Have fun shooting, my friend.
There is so much information in this video. I'm amazed. The religious influence on archery I thought was especially interesting. You seem to do quite a lot of research for your videos, I'm impressed! Thanks for sharing, a new fan!
Thank you very much. Just checked out your channel seems very interesting!
Thank you. I’m writing a medieval fantasy set in Central Asia and this has helped me a great deal.
Brilliant. Please more videos!
This topic really interesting. And 5 arrows in 2.5 seconds 😳 wow. You have done really well 😊
Thank you I thought I done pretty badly lol
@@GoldenMiddleAge that was really good 🤗
@@hayaomrans3991 thanks 🤗
Excellent video
Thanks for the knowledge
Try the Hungarian, Slavic or Tatar shooting technique to have your arrows in the bow hand (not a draw hand), when arrowhead is pointing up, not down. It will increase a fire right due to the specific position, orientation and closure of arrows to the knocking point :)
Even beginners will shoot fast, having 0 precision with their hand movements :)
in Medieval England every man in every village was required to practice archery every Sunday - similar to Mohammed's message.
Another interesting video. Keep them coming. Thank you 😀
Thanks!!
Being from England I always wanted a Longbow, but I discovered Horse bows! I've been practicing archery with my 48" string length 25lb@28" trad. bow, holding a few arrows in hand - no quiver - no anchor points no one style of anything... it's a horse bow after all. If my first shot misses (The flyer) the second or third usually does! I can average around 1 shot every 3 seconds... One day I might manage to get 3 shots a sec..... One day .... Maybe.
In my mind a long bow is a rifle and a short bow is a sub-machine gun!
Have you checked out Lars Anderson?
All the best.

Greetings from latin america, it is hard to find any information of arabian history and the way you explain its just fantastic, you deserve more suscribers, god bless you🖖🙏
Psdt: do you recomend any book for arabian mithology or medieval arabian law?
Thank you, unfortunately I've never researched those topics
Medieval Arabian law is holy book of Quran revealed to prophet Muhammad peace be upon him
@@user-ms5nf5ck3t No. Not all Arabian law is Islamic. Your mixing theology with tradition.
Information was good, shooting was.... Well, let's say keep practising :-)
Salam brother,great video just Wana say ur loading is could be more fluent by holding the bow straight or towards the target when u load
Cool!Amazing old tradition.
Salamalaikum wrb
can u please make more vids of islam and science in the islamic golden age where science was a big thing, plz my man
wallah ur one of my fav youtuber this vid u made helped me a ton thank u so much
u just got a new subscriber ❤
I'm curious did the Islamic world use high-powered composite bows during the 12th and 13th centuries? Thanks.
I'm asking because from what I understand, they had pretty powerful bows that are arguably comparable to that of the longbows in Europe, if not maybe a little bit more powerful.
Thanks for the information
Please do pre islamic battles ,weapons and war tatcis
Is there a pdf of the manuscript? If not then can you pleas tell us if there books on this wonderful manuscript. I really loved you video and it was so informative. The info you gave us on this topic is crustal for good archery.
جزاك الله خير!
Nice Video!
Do we know what kind of woods they used for the Non Composite bow construction and what wood for the construction of the composite ones?
The bow you use ..can you give more info? manufacturer ..bow draw weight..etc??
I really like that quiver @8:33. Who made it? I've been looking for more options along those lines that are not just the Alibow "Turkish" quiver, and yours actually looks even better IMO
nice with the star wars text ahah
I was so surprised an happy to hear this when I clicked, I thought this was gonna be some vaguely racist history retelling at first, so refreshing to have some actual history lesson
Thank you
How were they supposed to measure seconds during this period?
Interesting video.
Thank you.
I wish if there will be an overall best sport of combinations much like the HEMA
In Indonesia, we practicing and learning those imam technique through training on Archery Education Organization Pewaris lead by Al-Habib Qori Afrizan Al-Khered from Darul Fattah Islamic School (Pesantren), Temboro, East Java 🇮🇩
Good information, and great video. 👍 There are 2 books I recommend if someone wanna look into it more, Arab Archery, and Saracen Archery
Abu Muhammad Jamal al-Din 'Abd Allah Ibn Maymun al-Murrakishi. he wrote al-ifadah wa-al-tabsir li kull ramin mubtadi aw mahir tahrir bi-al-sahm al- tawil wa al-qasir. 4 surviving copies. "Arab Archery" is the translated version. Though in 1945 when it was translated the author was unknown and only one copy of the manuscript was known. Arab Archery says 1500 AD but we now know that it precedes Taybugha's "Saracen Archery" and we know more about the work and author due to the newly found copies.

Ah at 5 min your knocking is *terrible*--comically so. You are drawing your arrows from the wrong side, and you need to grab them by the knocks to seat them quickly. Also, you're riding your release forward.
I noticed that you're sort of using the thumb ring is a reverse manner, and gripping the reverse lip with your index finger kind of like using a Korean thumb ring. I've never seen it used like that before. Is this also another method described in historical manuscripts?
Thanks for the intricate information. You need hours of practice though lol
Seljuqid, ayyubid and abbasid armies
Parthian shot from Parthia
Call it Middle Eastern or Asiatic, fairer and more academic but I really did like your video
Where did you get the bow?
Thank you for these wonderful work. But as a traditional archery student I feel its a bit general. Can you please make a series where you discuss these subjects with more details :) Many thanks to you again and may Allah guides you!!
Mamluk😍
As salamu aleykum, where can I get a bow that is similar to what is used in the video? BarakAllahu feek
My friend
Your theoretical knowledge is wide but I'd suggest that before you release a tutorial you'd rather learn some more about the practical side:
You'd do much better wearing the arrow quiver on the right side, wether the arrows must face the back or the front is up to you,
You wear a thumb ring but if you shoot using Mediterranean draw it's pointless.
You wear the thumb ring upside down.
I don't think it a hadith Omar May Allah be pleased with him said it
The wasn't population wise majority Muslim. Up untile 17th century Levant and Egypt had majority Christians for example.
Hijazi was western Arabian peninsula not including Yemen area blow of modern day Jordan. It is more the land between the city of Maca and Madina.
Hope your wife didn't catch you using the garden furniture to support your target ;)
🤠👍🏿
The wisdom of Allah would say, before you teach, at least become proficient. That nocking tecknique alone is atrocious and no wonder it takes 24 seconds to loose 4 arrows. Please forgive my criticism and may Allah bless you with insight.
Your explanation was mostly very good but your shooting was completely wrong starting with your Mediterranean draw
They used thumb draw the lock of 69 all good archers use this lock
Thanks for the feedback
🇧🇷👍👊👍👊🏹🎯🏹🎯🏹 show my friends 👍👍👍

Why on earth you wear your quiver like that? 5 arrows in 2.5seconds is impressive but it's not impossible. You could should 5 arrows in 10 seconds is quite easy if you practiced enough and wear quiver properly
That's how the arabs and muslims were wearing quiver in the past.
Some in saudi arabia are still wear it like this.
@@gilgamesh-antara that may be the case, but if so the archer would grab the arrow with the bow hand which is actually fast and efficient for thumb draw, the same as scythian quivers on the left side-but that's not the way he tries to draw here.
Alot of mistakes in every aspect
This is a shame to archery the Arabs were way to fast and the arrows were a lot shorter they are shayookh in the gulf who still have the technique
