It is true and sad that these bows are being tipped out onto the market from Qinghai. A number of Qinghai traditional archers have imported fiberglass recurve bows and compounds, and so the traditional archers feel that their bows are useless by comparison. Also, to accommodate the archers with modern bows and sights, Tibetan archers have started to place their targets at 140 metres; but the old bows won't shoot that far in warm summer weather.

I have tried to get the Tibetan archers to split their competitions into two classes. As a result, in the competition that ATARN sponsored last month, there was a class of 'locally produced bows and arrows'. (土弓土箭) But the rules were not well enforced and after a bit, people started to slip in modern bows under the excuse that the hornbows couldn't get the arrows to the target.

We'll try to improve things next time.

We have a similar situation in Korea. Certain national competitions require horn bows/bamboo arrows. Year after year, groups try to get them to allow modern laminated bows, although so far that has been rejected. I see it coming about, however, as the Korean horn bow industry struggles with its issues.
