Krim-Tartar bow
The main feature of this bow is the double bent stiff siyahs with string channel. It is a horse archery bow made with clear glass fiber and wooden laminates. The core is ash and this basic lamination is quite as good as other extra laminated fellows. The patterns of the special laminates are nicely visible under clear glass layer. The stiff siyah can get a horn cover.

Description
Composite bows are different from the Western European simple bows (so called longbows) in a way that in all cases several pieces of horn and wood were stuck together in layers, with bone stiffening. The form and structure of these were extremely diverse, but it is typical of all of them that in un-drawn condition they become bent strongly backwards, and this negative bending also remains in drawn condition in a length of 1-2 hand span at both ends of the bow. Turkish-Tartar composite bows, which represent the best of reflex bows, ensured a relatively high initial speed.

- Good to know
- The Tartar empire was the same area as the Western part of Genghis Khan's divided empire (Eastern Europe and Western Siberia), existing from 1243 to 1480. Russian princes were under the authority of the Tartar khan, they paid tax to him and the khan of the Golden Horde granted them the honour of princedom. Their warfare was similar to that of the Mongols, with the difference that they had machines, which could be used to besiege cities. A sort of feudalism also appeared, men received land for fighting in the army, but everyone depended on the king. It was a typical robber, looting nation, and often attacked their weaker neighbours.
