About

About Nagy Imre Traditional Bows

The workshop presents its bows as practical modern designs informed by historical forms rather than exact archaeological replicas. The appearance may reference a tradition, while the maker also applies his own construction and handling solutions. The range runs from short Hungarian and horse-archery-friendly bows to longer Manchu, Mongolian and Sarmatian forms. Many models allow a choice of draw weight and finish, and several product pages explain the reasoning behind limb, siyah or grip shapes.
