Qing Conquest Bow

Styled after the traditional Manchu, birch bark covered bows carried during the Qing conquest of China, these bows look and shoot like the bows Manchurian mounted archers wielded. They follow the same pattern as those bows that became the standard traditional Chinese bow during the Qing dynasty. Like many other Asian bows, Manchu bows are recurved. Qing era Manchu bows differ from earlier recurve bows in a number of important ways. The first, most obvious way is that the Manchu bow is the largest bow in the family of Asian recurves. Manchu bows also have longer "ears" or siyhas and string bridges. These design features were suited to the Manchu style of archery which employed a heavier, longer arrow than early archery styles. The longer ears allowed for the Manchu use of longer arrows while also acting as levers that enabled the archer to pull a heavier draw bow.  Covered in real birch bark and hand painted.
