Shooting an all natural Bamboo Yumi in armour.
Shooting technique is based on the Heki-ryu style of Kyudo. I like Heki-ryu because its considered a Koryu and thus closer to what might have been done on the battlefields of Ye Olde times.
The bow is 20.5kg at 90cm. Or around 45lbs at 35". Sadly I have no clue who the Yumishi is as this bow was won in an auction with not much info on it.
P.S. I am not associated with any Kyudo association and am just studying it on my own with whatever resources I can find online.
Thanks for watching my video!
