I posted that at the subject Persian bows started by jjhhofman
and I belive it is relevant here

"... 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.
Tradition weigh heavily at that time so there is no significant
manufacturing changes unless archeology proves me wrong."
Please give me you thoughts

I hope it helps
Kind regards
