The Mongol Conquest Horsebow is a formidable weapon that dominated the battlefield during the reign of the Mongol Empire. Combining lightweight and potent features of traditional Asian bows, this horsebow is further distinguished by the addition of prominent string bridges - delivering even greater stored energy for a given poundage.
Its unique shape when unstrung, with limbs bending towards the back of the bow, allows for an immense amount of energy to be stored, unleashing arrows with greater velocity compared to other reflex bows.
This Mongol bow is a wooden composite with a layer of Zebrano, a stunning and dense wood found only in Central Africa. The dark streaks throughout the wood add a raw beauty to this powerful bow. To add further strength and protection, this bow has also been laminated with fibreglass and epoxy.

Are you a beginner to archery/traditional shooting and not sure what else is needed to get started? Please find some initial guidance below. Or for more send us an email on info@saxon.co.nz.
1. Arrows - A bow would be useless without arrows to shoot with. For this bow we recommend either Carbon or Wooden arrows with feathers. Start with some basic arrows and practice very close to the target, focusing on improving your shooting technique. Once you're ready to take archery to the next level then it's time to consider calculating a) your draw length, b) picking the right arrow length, and c) selecting the right arrow spine, all of which we can advise on.
2. Arm protection - An armguard is a must. This sits on your opposite arm and protects your arm from bruising which can occur when the string slaps your arm after the arrow is released (trust us on this one!).
3. A quiver - Not a necessity, but useful. For storing your arrows and keeping them close when shooting. The most common type of quiver hangs off your belt/waist, but quivers that hang over your shoulder are also available.
4. Finger protection - Repeated pulling back of the string of a bow will strain and damage your finger. Archers will therefore use either a protective glove or a finger tab to protect their string pulling finger from injuries.
5. Hand protection - Traditional bows such as this one rely on the arrow resting on the side of the bow, and once in-flight the feather of the arrow can graze the fleshy part of your hand between your thumb and index finger. It is highly recommended to place a piece of leather here, or to use a dedicated hand guard/glove to avoid feather cuts.
