Persian Bows
#2
Procopious who wrote about Velissarios and the battle of Dara 750 years after the Persian wars said that the persian bows were inferior to the roman and that the katafracts considered them of nuicance value.<br>
<br>
Tradition weigh heavily at that time so there is no significant manufacturing changes unless archeology proves me wrong.<br>
My opinion is that Classic era persian bows were no beter.<br>
<br>
The Persians created their early empire shooting against not very well armored foes! <p></p><i></i>
