Hello and welcome.
Apologies for the various noises drowning me out
I hope the knowledge in the video helps inspire some thinking and appreciation of the various archery disciplines and their role in bow design
Thank you so much for the support
Lets get this bow working!

Getting there!
I would probably be quicker if I didn't stop to make videos and soak up Japanese archery history.
But where's the fun in that?

Hello everyone!
I hope you are enjoying the build and some of the thought process around it.
There is a huge amount more to appreciate about Kyudo and the Yumi bow, I have not done it full justice here.
I will try and convey more as I progress the bow and learn as I go
