What is Chinese Archery?
Chinese archery forms part of the wider world of Asiatic archery, which uses historical bows, the thumb release and an instinctive shooting technique. It has a long history that encompasses many styles, cultures, types of equipment, and uses.
-
Today Chinese archery is mostly practiced for leisure and as a martial art.
-
What equipment do I need to start?
All you need is an asiatic bow (sometimes referred to as a horse bow), some arrows and a thumb!
-
Luckily Chinese archery can be relatively inexpensive to start. We hope to stock some beginner bows soon, but in the meantime, see our useful Chinese archery links or contact me for recommendations on where to get your first Chinese bow!
-
