Description
Ai CS3

Just a few bows and arrows.

The first one is the archetypal composite recurve bow of Mongolians. Usually what you see when you think of their famed horse archer.

Second, the full size Mongolian horse bow. This asymmetric bow was what was used by their light horse archers. The mixture of the horse's speed, and the range of the bow, made it a first strike weapon system.

Third. The Japanese Ya bamboo arrow, with a simple broadhead arrowhead. They've been placed into a sheepskin quiver.

Fourth. The traditional english longbow. Powerful and a lot more rugged compared to composite bows. As it was merely one piece of wood, it would not delaminate when wet.

Fifth. English war arrow with steel bobkin arrowhead.

Sixth. My idea of a mixture between the Mongolian bow's power, and use from the horse, and the reliability of the English longbow, by making it asymmetric.
