The Scythian Recurve Bow is a lightweight traditional bow inspired by the characteristic double-curved shape of ancient Scythian bows. Made from fibreglass and leather, it combines a distinctive historical appearance with a simple and practical construction.
Weighing approximately 534 g and measuring 132 cm in overall length, this bow has a soft draw and is particularly suitable for women and younger archers. Due to its relatively light draw, the manufacturer does not recommend it for adult men.
Traditional Scythian Design
Scythian bows were widely used by the nomadic peoples of the Eurasian steppes. Their characteristic double-curved shape became an important feature of traditional steppe archery.
This model follows that distinctive design, offering a compact and lightweight option for those interested in traditional archery and historical bow styles.
