History of Archery Bows

There are various types of compound bows and archery set that an archer can choose from. Almost all Eurasian composite bows have been derived from similar nomad origins. However, every culture that used them has made its own adaptations to the basic design of the bow. The modern Mongolian and Chinese bows are pretty much similar to each other. They both have string bridges that have been derived from the Manchurian tradition. The Mongol bow is a recurved composite bow that is used by Mongols. The bow is renowned for its power, range and accuracy. In fact, even though these bows were commonly used in the early 20th century, the Mongolian bows are still used in Siberia.
