  1. I wonder what the draw is on a bow like that?

    1. Good question:

      In modern kyūdō, the draw weight is usually around 30 LBS. It is more about the meditation and not so much about hitting a target at a big distance, so heavier bows are not needed. You can get heavier bows, though, if that is your wish.

      I'd still prefer not to get an broadhead arrow from that.

    2. Excellent point about the meditation, and a good example of how valuable such a practice can be.

    3. I would still take it over a sword.

  3. The woodwork is amazing...so is the stance.

  4. The arrow appears to be on the other side of the bow from the shooter, while the bows I used to see in the US had the arrow being on the same side as the shooter. Any idea on the advantages/disadvantages?

  5. That's the way I see 'em.
    I shoot LH and the arrow is on the other side of the bow from the way I shoot.
