Does anyone reenact the Parthians?
#3
In the Caucasus. I can't remember which country(could be Georgia), they practice a form of sports which consists in running a course galloping on horseback shooting with a bow at targets along the way. Much like the japanese do, only in the Caucasus the course is not straight but features curves and inclines, and the bow is a composite. Probably the same kind of training the Parthians did.
But nowadays, for that, you need a good trained horse (at least one..), plenty of space and plenty of time to train. And all that means a heck of a lot of monies..
Bjut some people do it.
Some of them are there.. Including an Amazon..
