while the basic fundamentals of archery are essentially the same, Chinese/Asian archery is a whole other world from western archery. everytime i go to the archery range, a big argument erupts afterwards about different methods and styles
its far more than the obvious Composite Recurve vs Long bow problem.
draw style, release method, overdrawing methods, nocking methods, stringing/unstringing, optimal angles. plus, western archers don't shoot from horseback
Tell me about the differences (more then just the horseback thing). I'ld love to hear them. How far away are the targets for horseback shooting? The few video clips I've seen it looks to be about 20 yards or so.
