Hundreds of years ago, the archers of the Ottomans rode into battle with their famous composite bows. They were unstoppable by the armies of southern Europe and the Byzantine Empire. These powerful weapons of war made of horn, wood and sinew developed into the famous flight bows with their phenomenal throwing power, which today is only achieved by bows made of high-tech materials. Experienced bow makers will find everything they need to know for rebuilding the famous Turkish composite bows in this work. The necessary background knowledge and detailed building instructions with many colour illustrations.
