So you're using a bow as a giant slingshot? How do you not hit your own hand on accident?

This is very good progress. I am glad you are interested to take it up.

Pebble bow requires 15 minutes to understand the technique and 15 months to get any good at it. You need to torque the bow grip outward as you draw back to the eye, so that the pebble misses your wrist but hits the target. It just takes practice. You can start your practice with wads of damp tissue paper instead of pebbles.

There is a big group of young people at the National Martial Arts Academy in Beijing who have developed a pebble bow performance.

My bow is made of simple bamboo.People grip bow under pebble shooting trajectory ,So it can't shoot to hand,but shoot to bow.I'm sorry I couldn't explain clear with my poor English .

Hehe, that looks so cool! Shooting a pebble bow is one of the great milestones that I hope to at least partially learn some day.

Keep it up!
