Horse bows and Asiatic Archery 🏹🤘!!! Here are some helpful links.

Asiatic Archery (horse bows) - Some links to help you get started.

If you’re interested in traditional Asiatic Archery like the Huns, Mongols, Turks, Chinese, Manchu, Korean etc, then I recommend the book "The Way of Archery", which is a translated manual of Gaoying’s Ming archery. Their website and YouTube channel is the go to resource for tutorials and info. (http://www.thewayofarchery.com/tutorials.html)

Armin Hirmer has a great source of info on bow reviews at YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/user/schwihi.

Nomad Warriors make a $100 fiberglass bow that won't break the bank. I recommend affordable fiberglass bows similar to these for beginners before dropping $300 for the laminated bows, especially for a light weight bow you’ll likely grow out of faster than you’d expect. They are stateside so shipping will be quicker. https://www.nomadwarriors.com/store/p3/Fiberglass_Nomad_Horsebow.html

There's also Alibow for GREAT affordable and quality Fiberglass and laminated bows that are good for both beginners and experts. They have great selections also especially for tall people with long drawlengths. Use the promo code “Armin10” for a discount. BUT they ship from China, so shipping could be 2 months+😱, but sooooo worth the wait🤗. https://www.alibowshop.com/fiberglass-bow?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

Korean traditional bows are one of the best bang for your buck bows that you can get👍👍👍. Great in quality, speed, and are light and compact. They are laminated, not fiberglass, so they will start at minimum $200. And unlike shipping from China that could take MONTHS, shipping from Korea only takes TWO WEEKS!!! Lightning fast in comparison!

There's also Horsebow shop in the USA, more discounted than Koreanbow. https://www.horsebowshop.com

Sarmat Archery is also a great store with quality and affordable goods with decent shipping times. I particularly love their Japanese Hankyu bows. Many people use them for making custom request arrows. https://sarmatarchery.com/

Simsek bows for traditional Turkish archery. https://www.simsekbow.com/

AF Archery also have decent bows that don’t break the bank. They can by found on Amazon and eBay.

Contact Cinnabar Bow for thumbrings and higher-end bows. They carry Vermil Thumb rings, which are the best. https://www.cinnabarbow.com

Vermil Archery and Custom Thumb Rings is good too, but shipping for Vermil takes long due to coming from Thailand (1-2 months). Therefore I recommend ordering instead from Cinnabar Bow (https://www.cinnabarbow.com) to get it within a week or two(if based in the US). Custom thumb rings are also based in the USA, so shipping won’t take as long if you’re stateside. https://www.Vermilarchery.com or https://www.customthumbrings.com First figure out your fit, get a plastic one, and eventually get a METAL thumb ring. It makes a WORLD of difference regarding comfort and smooth release.

If starting thumbdraw, I highly recommend starting light at the 25-35lb range to build up the thumb’s strength and conditioning as well as to better concentrate on correct form and posture without the distraction of strain or pain from being overbowed. ALWAYS use a thumbring or thumb protection especially when starting as a newbie to avoid pain and NERVE DAMAGE. Those who shoot barehanded without a ring are only able to do so from months or years of thumb conditioning. Once you get the hang of it, then you can graduate to something higher or to a laminated bow.
