Recommended Arrows for the Hungarian Horse Bow
To maintain the historical look, I recommend wooden arrows (cedar or spruce). For maximum precision and durability, carbon arrows with a wood-grain finish are also an excellent choice. Recommended specs include:
- Arrow Length: 29 – 31 inches (depending on your draw length).
- Shaft Material: Carbon (Spine 500-600 for lighter draw weights, 400 for 50 lbs) or 5/16 Wood.
- Point: Target points (bullet or field) weighing 100-125 grains.
- Fletching: Strictly natural feathers to allow the arrow to pass safely over the hand.
Care and Practical Tips
To ensure your bow lasts for years, regularly apply string wax to the string. The leather coating on the limbs benefits from an occasional treatment with leather balm to keep it supple. Always store the bow unstrung and horizontally, preferably in a padded bow sleeve.
What to avoid:
- Dry Fire: Never release the string without an arrow. The energy could shatter the limbs.
- High Temperatures: Do not leave the bow in a hot car during summer; heat can damage the adhesives and the fiberglass under the leather.
- Over-drawing: Do not draw the bow beyond its recommended length (usually max 30 inches for this bow length).
Recommended Accessories
For a comfortable shooting experience, I suggest using a shooting glove or a finger tab, as horse bows create a sharp string angle. An armguard is essential to protect your forearm, and a stylish hip quiver or back quiver in a historical design will complete your kit.
Historical Insight
Did you know that Hungarian bows were feared throughout Europe in the Middle Ages? Their recurved (reflex) design allowed them to deliver massive arrow speed even with a compact size, which was vital for maneuvering in the saddle. With this Penthalon bow, you hold a piece of that history in a modern, reliable form.
