Welcome to our Forum.

Do add your real world name (at least your first name) to your signature.

Are you familiar with the archery employed by the Samurai and how would you compare that to the Mongols, Parthians and others?

Narukami

Thank You.

I've seen some very good shooting from Samurai archers, even mounted! One of the reasons the lower limb on Japanese bows is shorter. The Kamikaze prevented a good showdown between them and the Mongols. :wink:

The Mongol and Mughal horse archers are hard to beat; if anybody could, it would be Samurai.

In archery we have three goals; to shoot accurately, to shoot powerfully, to shoot rapidly.
