Recurve archery historical background
The Europeans first met our ancestors during the 862 Pannonian campaign
.
By the X.century the Hungarianss were raiding Europe with their fast
horses at their will.
The most advanced weapon of the time was the reflex bow. It's shooting
distance was twice as long as the western bows.Because of this our
ancestors were able to engage the enemy from a safe distance.
The story goes that a Turkish jannisar once shoot across the Bosporus
which is 800 meters in width.
These type of reflex bows were widely used by the various people who
were riding their horses from Mongolia to the Carpathians in the inlands
of Eurasia.
They were the Schytians, the Huns, the Avars,
the Sarmatians etc..

The archer’s opinion:
When drawing the bow,the lower end of it mustn't touch the ground
and the upper end must be held and pressed under the bezel.
The hilt sould leanup on the inside part of the thigh,while the lower
end of the bow above the bezel should lean up on the outside of your
other leg.
All
Important
Before you do any target practise,make sure there are no people or
objects within 300m /1000 ft/in the direction you are aiming tha you
injure or demage.
Never shoot an arrow straight up into the air.
Don't draw back and release the string without an arrow.
Never lean on the bow when drawn.
After use,take the string off.After extended use the string may get
thready and need waxing.When waxing pull the wax onto the string with
fast motions.
Never leave a draws bow in direct hot sun
or in a car that's in hot sun.If the
