But as far as I cab recognize.... the archery techniques that used on that video was definitely asian, not only japan, but that was closer to asian styled archery arts. that way they draw bows was definitely used for drawing bamboo / composite bows, with direct pull, wait, and shot. AFAIK, self bows used in europe (and mediterranians) will quickly break if you try to use direct pulls. so withdrawing closer to the body first, and quickly relase the arrow. Waiting and aiming for too long will compromise with the strength on your self bow.
