A True Horsebow!

At the peak of its development the horsebow was the primary offensive weapon of every majour fpower between hungary and Korea. Horsebows were made in many different styles by many different societies, but the two primary distinnctions are between the Hungarian or Magyar type and the Korean type. Basically the difference is that the Hungarian type of bows have static limb tips (meaning that they do not bend when the bow is drawn) and the Korean types have live limb tips that flex when the bow is drawn and help drive the arrow forward.

All horsebows are known for their lively action, light weight, and short overall length; qualities that make them easier to shoot from a galloping horse. Nearly all of them were shot with an early form of release aid called a thumb ring, and they are capable of phenominal accuracy at amazing ranges.

This little beauty from Bearpaw Archery is a true Korean type for horsebow with live limb tips and a 49-inch overall length. It had an exotic looking riser made from Zebra wood and mycarta and the limbs are made from several laminations of asian oak and fibreglass.
