The shooting technique of this demo clip is writing in Tong dynasty.. Watch the bow hand..

The grip rotate in the bow hand and the upper bow ear "jump" to the position pointing to the target..

It happened simultaneously with the arrow release, not after the arrow release.. caused by two torques in the bow hand... Kind of like spring release ...

Looking good friend, the bow seems like quite good performer with nice curves.
A single arrow is easily broken, but not ten in a bundle.
