Turkic traditional archer from Türkiye.

Qing Military Archers, circa 1870-1900. I imagine the man seated in the center is their teacher and those children are his sons. Source: https://www.hpcbristol.net/visual/mx01-137

Movement archery captured just at the pause. Stilled before release. . I had just done a right stance, 180 degree turn to face the target and dropped to my knee for the release of the arrow. . . . . #archer #archery #archerlife #archerypractice #dropknee #femalearcher #femalewarrior #kneedrop #lonearcher #instinctivearcher #instinctivearchery #longbow #longbowarcher #movement #movementarchery #rightturn #traditionalarcher #turn #warrior #warriorwomen #woman #womanarcher

Another short ciip practicing groundwork archery. . This time sitting on both knees to the side then at a 90 degree angle leaning forward quite low with bow horizontally positioned to the ground. . You can see in this clip that it took me a little time to balance and steady my longbow in preparation to release the arrow. . Still a lovely position though. . . . . #archer #archery #archerylife #archerypractice #femalearcher #groundwork #instinctivearchery #longbow #ontheground #outdoorarchery #outdoorsports #seatedposition #sittingposition #traditionalarcher #traditionalarchery #warrior #warriorwomen #womanarcher
