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 Spring & Autumn II is Mariner's bamboo bow. Bamboo back, bamboo belly --- and no fiberglass lams. The shape is reminiscent of historical bows you see in stone diagrams (and other artwork) from the more humid Southern regions of historical China.
IFAA + Thumb Ring COMPATABLE!
This is one of the ONLY asiatic bows that qualify for the "Historical Bow" category in IFAA sanctioned events. It has no modern material laminations as it is made of bamboo only. It uses modern glues, and has a modern string. Under the "Historical Bow" category, the thumb ring is allowed. This is the bow for you, if you want to compete using a thumb ring in IFAA events!
Draw length: up to 33" from the belly of the bow. Length of the Braced Bow: 170cm Draw Weight: up to 70lbs (at 33'', NOT 28") Minimum Arrow Weight: 11 gpp
Lead time: 4 months
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.
