or just make one yourself.
The steppe saddle seemes to be around from the 340's.
What you referring here to is the wooden-frame aka 'tree' saddle - and that saddle is associated with European Sarmatians from Pontic Steppe area in the European context- see already listed work on Sarmatians by Simonenko, pages 221-234
by the way what is the weight of your horsebow and what kind of arrows - length etc - are you using?
