This ancient Hungarian bow was used by the Magyars, a large group of nomadic tribes similar to that of the Huns.
The Magyars used bows of this style on horseback as they conquered Countries within Europe. The popularity and success of the bow comes from its very smooth draw and release allowing for excellent accuracy even when on horseback.
This style of bow has a unique shape when unstrung with the limbs bending towards the back of the bow, allowing it to store an enormous amount of energy. This design allows arrows to be shot faster than a standard re-curve, or even against other types of reflex bows.
This Magyar bow is a wooden composite with a layer of Ash, a wood that is prized for it's light weight, hard and shock resistance characteristics. To add further strength and protection, this bow has also been laminated with fibreglass and epoxy.
