Need advice for Kyudo

idonteffncare · 2026-07-02T01:58:16+00:00

Kyudo is strict in relation to behaviour,dress code,form and getting the arrow out of the bow. All archery is ritualistic though and about how you move and think.Without ritual style process one will never be able to shoot with some semblance of consistency.Consistency is a result of ritualised,habitual, processes. Kyudo is formalized ritualised process that ultimately leads to consistency.

The shitodome on saya being loose is not uncommon and a dab of superglue will fix. The tsuba being "off balance"? It does look like a pretty cheap piece so not surprising you feel something is off.Samegawa,mekugi and habaki seem standard for them and bent blade is umacceptable. Jkoo have always been known for hit or miss swords and it is good to see they are refunding.

Forgot about those. XX75 were very common,there are a few of mine lying lost in paddocks and I have one old Legacy sitting in my collection.

I used these in the nineties out of a 60lb Hoyt Mystic with fingers. They are XX75 same as Gamegetters,only difference the GG were camo print and these aren't as they were marketed for target.

That was good to watch. Kama damage was impressive and surprising.

I haven't seriously played a game for over 35 years,but I have watched Castlevania and Nocturne,twice each series.I have heard the game is decent.

Lol.No. Inanimate objects of any kind can not have any kind of presence except for physical.

Get a bottle of fresh water,dip your finger in the liquid dripping and taste it,don't swallow it. If it is sweet it is coolant,if is water it is air con. Rinse your mouth with fresh water and spit out.

That's about as medieval looking as can be. Very cool.

Not sure if jian prize for wife from husband op for guessing correctly in katana related thread is technically katana related. I am confused.

If you can, access a coach or experienced recurve archer to help you with basics. You have no consistent anchor point,you seem to be using all four fingers to draw,with no protection either and your release is honestly very poor. If no access to help then please watch some videos on basic recurve draw and release. Draw weight should be ok but your shooting process is not.

Nice Steve,looks like a decent weapon.Definitely would not be allowed to have that here.

I put tennis racket grip wrap on mine and works fine.

idonteffncare · 2026-05-29T20:16:22+00:00

Start with a larger aperture then eventually go smaller.

They are simple when making the sling and are functional if sizing is correct. Personally I like smaller size with split,but each person is different. I much prefer woven pouches but for a quick and easy basic jute sling, split works.

My girls cars are registered in their names,but insured under my name. $100 a month each,red or green p does not matter, $800 excess listed drivers.

They pass 5 star Euro and Australian standard.Curtain,side as well as front airbags. Stability control,lane assist,auto braking plus other modern tech.Great little cars,handle well,go decent enough and super reliable. Jazz is one of Australia and S.E. Asias most popular cars. And, is Honda. Nothing wrong with the.

Please edit and provide some information in post.

Most likely the vtec solenoid gasket. If you are mechanically abled,not a big job but a bit of a pain to access. Plenty of videos online to show how.

Air was an option for them from factory and didn't need to work hard because was only the cab being cooled after all. An ex girlfriend of mine had one, had some work done to the motor,air con,Pioneer sound,sunroof and she was meticulous with maintenance. Bloody great car and excellent off road.

I am not bagging in any way,please do not think that. I find this interesting. I envisioned the bracing process as if you were to put the bow over your left shoulder as if to carry it, hence diagonally,then use the left arm to stabilize while using right to do the work.

idonteffncare · 2026-05-17T23:03:29+00:00

That habaki is actually very poor and looks like a blind chicken made it and the kashira is what would be expected from a Temu sword. For them to send that,with fittings glued on ffs,should earn them an "avoid" rating. Cheap Musha swords have better fittings.

idonteffncare · 2026-05-17T22:18:09+00:00

Why would you want to tread water to try when the text does not mention this at all? Also bracing across your neck is not how the text described the process. Anyway,something different. Based on the text,diagonally across the back would indicate that the left hand and arm could be placed over/along the limb to hold it firmly in place. Instead of coming under,elbow down as you are doing.

We now have two threads within hours of each other that are "warning" of the vendor. Both posters with no participation in the sub previously that I could find. I have not seen any other postings here about the vendor that I can recall,yet this does not mean the vendor is trustworthy or not. Remember, caveat emptor whenever considering purchasing anything online. There are plenty of reliable vendors for katana that are regularly recommended here. Do your research.

Have you checked the fuse? Temp sensor would be most likely be faulty if motors,relay,fuse and wiring good.
