How to knot the traditional Mongolian bow and arrow when winding it?

Generally speaking, the tension of traditional bows is between 40 and 60 Jin, except long bows and bows. American bows are between 55 and 60 pounds-that's high tension. This kind of bow is relatively short, and heavy tension is used to make up for the lack of working distance. The tension of the bow used in the archway is light, but it is very long, reaching behind the ear and even the head. The tension of medieval military bows may exceed 100 pounds. When designing a bow with high tension, the efficiency of the bow must be taken into account, so a particularly heavy arrow should be used. However, this statement is not necessarily accurate, because none of the bows at that time can be preserved for use now. If medieval archers knew the theory of arrow ridge, according to the preserved arrow, the tension of the bow at that time might be 1 10- 180 pounds, while according to the damage point of the restored arrow, the tension of the bow was as high as 160 pounds. However, the understanding of Arrow Ridge at that time may not be the same as it is now. Based on these factors and the archives of archery training in the Middle Ages, it is speculated that the bow at that time should be generally around 70-80 kg. However, as I said before, there is no conclusive evidence to prove this. For hunting, a bow of 35-50 pounds should be the most suitable. If your bow is short, you must pull hard. Victorian bows are about 50-60 inches long, not 70 inches or more. Therefore, the tension of the bow is generally between 45 and 50 kg. It is important to remember that different pulling forces and distances should be selected for different purposes.
