Mongolian archery: “responsibility and sports”

6 February, 2018

“A monk reading his sutra and meditating, and an archer focusing on his target, it’s the same thing.”

Very strong 14 minute video about the traditional and Olympic sides of the sport in Mongolia from a couple of years back. Some great recurve advice in there as well.

Mongolia retains a deep tradition of archery where the bow is part of the cultural identity of the country (rather similar to Bhutan, despite the countries being many thousands of kilometres apart). Some great crafting of a composite Asian bow, too. Well worth your time.
