Physical consideration of KYUDO -Japanese archery

Physical consideration of KYUDO -Japanese archery 10. Consider the  grip  form (取り懸け/Torikake) of the right hand during a full draw (会/Kai). From here, I would like to formulate hypotheses about more detailed aspects of Japanese archery techniques and verify their validity. Let's consider the function of the right hand's grip form. Point 1) A function to hold the arrow to prevent it from falling out. Point 2) A function to lock the grip to prevent accidental release during the draw. Point 3) A function to produce a light and smooth release. Point 4) A function to feed out the string without any wobble. These must perform multiple functions that directly contribute to hitting the target. It's not as simple as just gripping and releasing the string. Points 1), 2), and 3) have already been explained, so I will omit them here. (The numbers in the photo are not related to the text.) Point 4) means that, the moment the bowstring is released, it passes through the three fingers th...

In other words, they think that if you somehow manage to string the bow, pull it back, balance it with both hands, and then release it gently and skillfully with your fingertips, you'll hit the target. In other words, by paying attention to "balance" and "timing," I'm devising a way to "release" the bow in a way that minimizes "shock." This means that "the draw is the draw," "the release is...
