    This Krim-Tatar Horsebow was handcrafted in Hungary from wood and fiberglass layered together into a flexing laminate. The ears and nocks are wood and the limbs of the bow are overlaid in protective leather and reinforced with tight cord bindings.

    The bow is available in two draw weights; 35 and 50 pounds at 28 inches of pull. Included is a bowstring and a protective cloth bow bag. The color used for the leather can vary from shades of black, brown, gray and green.

    Historically, composite bows were created from a wood, horn, sinew and bound together into a springy laminate with strong glues. The sinuous profile of these strung horsebows is designed to impart great power into the arrow and to cast it smoothly. In capable hands they were fast firing and deadly – but when coupled with a horse and the great skill required to meld horsemanship and archery it became the weapon that shattered kingdoms and empires asunder in hails of iron-tipped rain.

    Replacement strings for this bow are linked below the photos.
