The Mongolian Bow is usually reffered to as a composite bow, and is made of Wood, Horn and Sinew. Modern Mongolian Style bows can be made of the same, or of modern materials.
@TheBoyFromNorfolk The composite bow is the weapon of choice for archers from Korea all the way to the Lower Balkans. The bow is originally created to be used on horseback. It is difficult to use wooden bows like the longbow on horseback because its sheer size and length does not allow greater maneuvirability on horseback. Bowyers laters discovers that horn has greater compression power and stores more energy than wood. This allows the bow to be shorter and compact enough for horse archery.
There are other adaptions, like the Japanese Yumi Bow, for shooting from Horseback, but the Central Steppes and the American plains peoples both reduced the size of their bow when they adopted the horse.
@TheBoyFromNorfolk Wooden bows has to be on a specific length in order to be effective and any shorter will result the weapon breaking during a full draw. Native Americans horse archers developed a sinew backed bow which is a shortern wooden bow bound together with sinew. This prevents the shortern wooden bow from breaking during a full draw. Nomadic peoples from Central Steppes learned that the combination of horn, wood and sinew prevents the bow from breaking during a full draw.
@TheBoyFromNorfolk The Japanese longbow or Yumi is the longest bow ever created. It is even longer than the iconic English longbow. Japanese horse archers are able to use their bows effectively on horseback despite being longer than regular wooden bows.
I'm honestly not sure why you are just quoting weapon information at me, but missing out vital information. the Yumi is effective on horseback because it is lopsided. I'm sure you knew that, so unless there's something interesting you want to debate, we're pretty much just agreeing with each other, and posting information about various bows, so I'll call it quits.
@TheBoyFromNorfolk It is interesting to see a longbow like the Yumi is effectively used on horseback despite its great length. Usually for horse archery, achers prefered a shorter bow made from materials that are allow the weapon to be drawn fully. The bows used by horse archers are recurved and some are even double recurved. Longbow enthusiasts claim that it is the most powerful bow and claims that modern ones are weaker with on 60-80dls rather 160 dbls of the 100 Years War Period.
@TheBoyFromNorfolk There is one commentor that kept attacking the recurved composite bow as a much weaker bow than the English longbow. He even states that the arrows used are weakness and lighter unlike the arrows of the longbow that penetrates plate armor. He also cliams that the longbow used in every test to compare it with other bows is not the true representation of its deadly reputation and claims that their draw weight is only 60dbl not 160dbls.
Your English isn't plain enough for me to understand what you are saying. I have written a few things about warbows at bowhuntingtalk(dot)com, but a short summary of my position recurve vs english D curve Longbow:
Recurves give greater cast for a given draw weight.
Longbows are easier to manufacture, particularly easier to manufacture to a high draw weight.
English Warbows are generally 80lb to 200lb, 120-140lb being a good median I feel.
@TheBoyFromNorfolk I know that Western Europe did not have horse archery unlike those in Eastern Europe especially in the Lower Balkans and Russia. Western Crusaders had encountered the recurved composite bows of Muslim horse archers during the Crusades. Why didn't they adopted it and develop its own horse archers? They only used composite technology to make prods for their crossbows.
Composite technology is easily damaged in the wet climate of western europe (also a hypothesis for failed steppe invasions). Horse archers require a lot of training, if you don't live the life style that trains you in it from birth (like the steppe peoples do), it's almost impossible to equal those who do.
However, there is evidence that English Warbows began to recurve at the tips. English Archers, like Horse Steppe people, need a life time of training.
@TheBoyFromNorfolk If that so, won't the composite prods of crossbows suffer the same fate? Archers in the Roman armies used the composite bows as their primarily weapon. The remains of such bows were even found in the ruins of Roman forts in Britain. I think the geograhy of Western Europe made horse archery unnecessary. To infantry archers, the simpler longbow is adequate enough to inflict damages on the enemies.
The simpler longbow is a lot cheaper to manufacture, even if you have to import the bow wood, as England did. As I say above, it takes a lot of training, and only a special circumstance of society and culture allowed the Longbow and Archer to equal in strength the crossbow.
Composite Crossbows were used, but there are accounts of them failing due to weather, and protective cases to keep them dry & working.
Horse Archers were imported into europe as mercenaries, so it's not the geo.
@TheBoyFromNorfolk Any bow regardless requires years of training. On Continental Europe, crossbowmen were the main archers while in England, longbowmen were prefered. If they had protective cases for their composite prods, could they have done the same for composite bows? I know it takes months for the glue of the composite bows to dry up. Both infantry and horse archers in Asia, Middle East and the Lower Balkans used the composite bows. They were being manufactured during peace times.

'' String hits inside of the arm'' A good archer can bend his arm slightly while he draws back on his bow so this won't happen, I do it all the time.
WesleySpeaks23 1 month ago
didnt they steem the bows to bend them? and then added weights to control the power behind it or something like that? :/
