Yep, That's why Mongols conquered the half world.

I never knew the Mongols were mutes. Must have been handy for sneaking up on their enemies.

@spleegulence The English longbow is an infantry weapon. It works well by archers on foot but not from horseback. Although longbows can be used from horseback, its shear size and length made them difficult to manuevere. A shortened wooden bow will break if there is an attempted full draw. Bowyers discovered that horn has greater compression power than wood and sinew is strong enough to bind wood and animal horn together. The composite bow was probably created to be used on horseback.

@BujinkanTurkiye That record was achieved by the Ottoman sultan in 1798 where he shot an arrow from his composite bow across the Bosporus Straits against the wind and reached 972 yards. Then in 1971, an American archer shot a knitting-needle thin carbon arrow, using a Turkish composite bow and reached 2028 yards. This test demonstrated the power of the composite bow which is more powerful than the more famous English longbow.
