Song Dynasty bow

Post by yokhua » Fri Sep 02, 2011 11:14 pm

made from white water buffalo horns.. notice, the brace height is very low.. this bow is almost impossible to be shot by using western 3 finger release..

Very nice video. I think it is interesting to see how the siyahs interact with the working limbs of the bow. The full draw profile is amazing.
