Compound Bow and Japanese Longbow (Yumi) At Full Draw

The "How-To" Gun Girl Emily Houston Monroe got to shoot with a master of Japanese longbow (kyudo). The yumi he used is a traditional Japanese longbow. I am shooting the Bowtech Eva Shockey Signature Series compound bow.

The lower part of Japanese bow is short. This is because this bow is expected to use on a horse.
It allows bushi (samurai) to attack far from enemy and fast.
This is one of the factors that Japan was able to prevent Mongolian’s invasion.
I’m Japanese and my English might be wrong.

Longbow looks more graceful while the other looks more tactical

[davidstutz]

Pulleys will always beat non pulleys when it comes to force. But the Yumi is awesome

[simen]

He gotta be damn strong to pull and hold that bow for that amount of time. It wasn't that long, but still something I am not strong enough to do.

[blaketheshepherd]

Man, he really put the “long” in “longbow”.

[TheUrbanbrute]

Nothing will beat a modern day compound bow. We have perfected it.

36" drawlength very well demonstrated on the Yumi. Different bows for different purposes. Both are very cool.

[CallMeSmiel]

Its funny seeing so many people arguing about which is better and they’ve likely never even seen a bow in real life. Just enjoy the cool clip.

[turonlumpia]

I have never seen a marsupial shooting a bow in my life.
Now i have.

[billpiehler]

Compound bows are a lot easier to draw tese days. The technology put into them is amazing.

[mrdisaster]

I’m actually impressed by the Japanese longbow it seems ahead of it’s time and the compound bow works as expected of a modern bow.

[larryhill]

Just curious, what point are you trying to make ?

[NobleOfMonke]

What are you using to draw the compound? Do you not hold the strings directly with a compound?(im working on getting one soon and want to learn more about them)

[theodoremaximillios]

Pretty dumb question but is the Japanese long bow weaker than the English Long bow?

[labucisto]

Is that Joerg Sprave from slingshot channel?

[Local_commentor]

What's the draw weight they used for war bows

[grenouillesscent]

Why is he holding he arrow so low and does that affect velocity?

[eneaschicchi]

Holding at full draw is quite impressive do we know the weight on the long bow

[ImOblivious]

The camera doesn't show it, but the Japanese longbow just keeps going up.
