Yes, this (Jarmakee) type of shot isn't often see with Manchu bows, but Qing archers actually used similar technique - despite of the big bows. We can see Qing era skating archer doing this shot in the famous "winter games" (Bingn Xi Tu) painting - and I wanted to see how it works on skis.
nice!
Very unconventional, mix of technique and equipment.
