Thank you for another inspiring video, and I absolutely agree (accept I don't have any grip issues). My Jotoman has a natural cork surface in birchbark design with red tips. (If I order another one, I'll go for the pretty butterfly pattern - I'm sure it is good against "toxic masculinity"). I just wrote to Ronald from Bamboo Archery: The Jotoman is extremely well made. I particularly like the cork surface. (If I order another one, I'll go for the pretty butterfly pattern - I'm sure it is good against "toxic masculinity"). And I really like the sleeve, it matches the high quality of the bow. Up to my regular draw of 30 inches, it is as smooth as butter and light enough for a fluid khatra. I gave the string an additional wrapping to fit my linkboy arrows/nocks (highly recommended). I am very pleased with this bow concerning draw feel, arrow speed, vibration & handshock (down to 7 gpp) and think it is in no way inferior to a laminated one. A great bow, the perfect union of Turkish and Korean bow design! I am looking forward to your upcoming videos, especially your opinion of the NIK'A, because I bought one and it it was completey different from what I expected. I would love to see you shooting the bows from the side because of the shape and how they bend. And I would love to see more about your school archery project (call it industrial espionage). Oh, and best regards to the dice cat!

What draw weight you shooting brother ?
@ambidextrousarchery2 ай бұрын
My max bow is 55# at 33” using a thumb draw. By following my PT recovery and strengthening plan, I should continue to increase my heavier draw bows. I typically do extended sessions with lower-range bows, including my first horse bow, which is 30# 28”, 34# 30”, and 38# 32”. I have a loose draw-weight schedule and enjoy taking a lot of shots in a session. My favorite bows right now are a short Tatar (37# 28”, 43# 30”) & a long siyah Tang (35# 28”, 43# 33”. )The Tatar feels correct at 29” and the Tang at 32”. Neither is my most accurate. That one, I’m still evaluating. I typically use Arc Rolan Snake 50s and 60s for teaching, which stay at school. My personal AR Snake is the 60”, 25# 28” version. They are great bows for learners. Thank you for asking! 🙂

Great review, they look so well made, how do you compare them to thumb ring, i was using tom tech leather thumb protector but recently got a spur thumb ring, i prefer it over the leather now, it takes awhile to get use to it.
@ambidextrousarchery2 ай бұрын
Thank you! Rings and protectors are different shooting experiences for me. I enjoy the rings for sessions when I have more time to focus on that technique. The rings require many adjustments for both thumbs. Tier 3. I like them for my shorter draw bows that aren’t too heavy and with forward khatra. They are specifically great with my Persian. For my lowest draw weight bows, I will often still use bare thumbs. Tier 0 adjustments but my thumbs will get tired and can hurt on heavier weight. The string on the Şimşek is comfortable with bare thumb for the beginning of sessions, which is awesome. I like the Thumb Pros for my heavier bows and for their convenience. I enjoy the ease of use, protection, and the sense of the string. Tier 2 adjustments needed. I love Tom’s protectors and have used them throughout my archery journey. In fact, I have a new set coming to match my Grózer. I use them more than anything else and even have replacement cords. I use them so much the passage of fletching over the bow hand tends to wear out the cords! Ambidextrous problem. The thumb gear is perfect for long sessions with multiple draw weights and requires Tier 1 adjustments. I have a thicker pair for longer sessions with my heavier bows but haven’t been able to do that in a while. At my PT pace, right now “heavier” for me is anything going over 50# at max draw.
