Yumi bows were shot a lot from kneeling, or seise, as Pat said, while practicing Kyudo. There was shorter bows used from horse back.

I believe I read that these bows were tillered as three separate bows.
Also, in one of the TBB series is an ancient drawing of two guys bracing a Yumi bow on a bow bracing bench.
