Persian archer equipment

[daryush]

For your impression, the IndoPersian bow might be a little bit too late - but a very nice bow! (I own one ;-) ) )

How does it shoot (compared with, say, the old scythian)? I'm thinking of getting one but Grozer says that it's not a very good design.

Do you have any pictures of it?

Thanks!

My bow (38 lb) can be seen here: [url:17nl944p]http://www.roemischer-vicus.de/fotos_bogenschiessen/f_bog_grozer_indopers_38_PICT1011.htm[/url]

I can compare it to the 'usual' fibreglass/wood old Scythian bow (45 lb) Grozer made. The comparison to a 'genuine' horn/wood/sinew Scytian might be quite useless, because this one can´t be purchased...

Compared to the 45lb Scythian ([url:17nl944p]http://www.roemischer-vicus.de/fotos_bogenschiessen/f_bog_grozer_scyth_45_PICT1016.htm[/url]), the IndoPersion is less effective, meaning slower. But the handling is great. It seems to be stiffer, but can also be strung up to 32". The decoration of red and black leather is nicely done.

In fact, the IndoPersian is one of my favourite bows. I use it most times when not on Roman reenactment events (so in private).

I've just had a look at your website - are all the bows in that display rack yours hock:
Jealous :twisted:

(sorry if you mentioned this somewhere in the text - my German is horrific)

The glass scythian is quite vicious but I love the shape of the Indo-Persian. Any estimation as to how it would fare against another Grozer bow of 38 lb. I'd be getting it in 60 lb or higher if poss though.

Do you have any pictures of it drawn?

Thanks!
