Topic: I cannot figure this out!?

Hello everyone,

I was looking for some videos on form and technique and just came across this video with a gentleman who has a string tied to his arrow, and that is connected to something that makes a horrible noise....

Does this string act as a leash? So that the arrow does not go too far?

I just can't imagine why you would have that with all of those beautiful archery ranges in Korea, but maybe its for beginners?

Watch this and let me know what you think..

Raven, I have seen this at all the ranges I have visited.  When I took a class at hang hak jeong they have you practice form with an arrow on a string.  In this case the string is just in case you accidentally let it go.  Makes a horrible sound when this happens.  Outside I have seen them use both arrows on a string tied to a pole and small parachutes.  They do have beautiful ranges, but having beginners trying to shoot 145m is time consuming, costly with lost arrows and dangerous.

It's called a "jusal", which I have always called a tethered arrow.  They are very handy and good to take warm-up shots on.

Now I know! Thank you for the explanation.

It makes sense now that I understand.

Thank you,
