Nah, he's just goofing around for fun. I have a kilt and it's quite comfortable to wear in the summer; but I'm not going out in it in the dead of winter to prove that I'm the one, true Scotsman.
Aren't recurve bows generally larger than that though?
>Recurve
Holy frick my Black person, it's called a composite bow. Yes, it has a recurve shape, but so does almost every single other bow right now.
Also, the moron in the picture is using a Mediterranean draw on a supposedly steppe horse bow. That's not how they were shot, they used the thumb draw, the Slavic draw or the Mongol draw

Why does the type of draw he's using matter? I thought that was more personal preference rather than something that needed to be tuned to whatever bow you're using.
It's partially linked to the bow, mainly because it's part of the culture, but also because some draws work better in the way the bow was used.
For example, shooting like he seems trying to do, from the back, would be much better if using a thumb draw, since the release from a Mediterranean draw would just be very unclean and send the arrow flying way off target.
But either way, if he's the Mongol archer he's trying to LARP as, he would have been training to use any other draw, since that is something cultural
Frick if only he didnt have a ak12
the cope that would have produced
>Wasting all this amazingly glorious 'special forces, steppe hunter' drip on defending a slavic shithole imperialist government
This is nothing short of tragedy
RETVRN TO STEPPE

Where is he even nocking that arrow? What the frick is this moronic posture.

>when you still have archers in the modern era because you haven't bothered to upgrade them
How many times have you done the same?
Are you a pussy anon?

That's what the deep-fried mars bar is for.
I'm getting diabetes just by looking at it
You see. Russians are simply violent Asiatics. People dismissed this as Nazi propaganda but it's true.
he’s just having fun
What is that kind of bow called?
recurve
Aren't recurve bows generally larger than that though?
Maybe in the west. On the Steppe archery was all horseback. Smaller bows made more sense

Russia hiring their former owners is a good move, may Mary be with y'all.
This is what happens when your army consists mostly of poor people from Tuva and Buryatia
Now all the mongol horde is missing is the horses for their archers and their army will be unstoppable.
>the asiatic subhuman hordes are at the gates of Europa again
Man you redditor children believe in the silliest things
The glint on the big almost makes up for his general goofiness
Bow* Phone posters deserve the rope
Looks cool and all but why is he shooting with an mediterranean grip? Aren't horsebows usually shot with a thumb release?
So AKs over.
