This morning's #archery session brought to you by my very-fancy-looking, but actually very cheap, #Mongolian style #bow. I don't shoot it very much because honestly it feels bad to shoot. Unlike both the #Turkish and #Korean horsebows I have, the limbs on this are not laminated wood cores, they are solid fibreglass (obviously wrapped very prettily), and the way the energy from a shot transfers is kind of amazing actually.

It travels through your body and thumps you right in the back of the neck. It's like being punched. Sounds ridiculous but I've had several people shoot it with the same result, just to be sure I wasn't imagining it, or it was my technique. First time I shot it, I dropped the bow it was such a shock. Never felt anything like it before or since.

Anyway you can kinda mitigate it a bit with #khatra, so every now and then I bring this thing out and remind myself why I'd rather shoot literally anything else. It does look nice though! #HaveABowtifulDay
