Han Wind I Laminated Bow

by Mariner

Mariner, is widely regarded as one of the best premium brands of laminated, hand crafted Chinese bows in the world.

In collaboration with Caroline Armory, Lost Arts Archery is bringing Mariner to South Africa!

The Han Dynasty (206 BC--220 AD) represented the golden age of Classical China. It was a period of prosperity (with the consolidation of Silk Road trade routes) with accompanying advances in science, art, and literature. During this time, famous archers such as Li Guang (The Flying General) flourished.

The Han Wind is heavily inspired by the straight-tip horn bows of this period, which had long, thin, rear-facing tips that gave the bow both stability and a smooth draw. These properties made the straight-tip bow popular for a very long time, and later variations of the design would last through the Tang and Song Dynasties (a time period leading up to 1279 AD). The Han Wind faithfully recreates the style of these bows and is one of the few modern material bows on the market with such long and thin tips --- this makes it very efficient for a non-contact recurve.

The Han Wind 1 is a non-contact recurve with straight, static tips. It is suitable for archers with longer draw lengths.


Your bow is pre-quality checked in South Africa by Lost Arts Archery, before it is shipped to your door. 

*Please unstring the bow if not in use, or it may loose draw weight.
