About bows:
Do I understand Mister Simonenko right, that Hunnish bows where more like an exception for 1st century Sarmatians? Hunnish bows being found mostly in rich grave's and could therefore be considered an (looted) exotic new type of bow for the 1st. century Sarmatians. And that well into the 1st century the most Sarmatians used the Scythian style bow without the "extra" siyahs either equally in length as asymmetric ?
Therefore making it a good choice for me to buy a Scythian bow to use for early Scythian reenactment as well as for my 1st. century impression...? :errr:
