In the 268 years of the Qing dynasty (1645-1911) the official military issue bows had little change. The military bow's overall design emphasizes stability and durability at military draw weight (minimum 65# till the early 1800s).
This bow's draw-force curve is similar to the antique manchu bows, and has less hand shock than most other fiberglass manchu bows due to a special material used.
-Draw length: up to 35’’
-Length of string: 150cm up to 60#, 155cm up to 80#

*How to roughly determine your military manchu style draw length: 1/2 arm span - 1 to 2"
*Please unstring the bow if not in use, or it may loose draw weight.
