Choosing the Right Arrows
For a horsebow like this, you should use arrows that complement its swift nature. Wooden arrows (cedar or spruce) provide the most authentic feel, while carbon arrows with a wood-grain finish offer superior durability and consistency for modern practice.
- Arrow Length: Typically 29–31 inches, depending on your draw length.
- Shaft Material: Carbon or Wood.
- Tip Type: Field or Bullet points (100–125 grains).
- Spine: Use spine 600 for 30-35 lbs, spine 500 for 40-45 lbs, and spine 400 for 50 lbs.
Maintenance and Safety Tips
To keep your Bearpaw Mongolian in top shape, occasionally treat the leather coating with a quality leather conditioner to keep it supple. Always store the bow unstrung and horizontally in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Important Warnings:
- Dry Fire: Never release the string without an arrow. This will likely shatter the limbs and could cause serious injury.
- Over-drawing: Do not exceed the maximum draw length (usually around 31 inches).
- Heat Exposure: Avoid leaving the bow in a hot car, as extreme heat can damage the fiberglass bonding and adhesives.
Recommended Accessories
To enhance your shooting comfort, I highly recommend using an archery glove or a leather finger tab. An armguard is essential to protect your forearm from string slap. For transport, a padded bow sleeve is a great investment, and a traditional hip quiver or back quiver will keep your arrows ready for action.
A Bit of History
Did you know that Mongolian horse archers could shoot up to 10 arrows per minute while galloping at full speed? They used a thumb ring made of bone or stone to draw the string. While you might not be shooting from a saddle today, the Penthalon Mongolian gives you that same raw, ancestral power in a package refined for the modern archer.
