This bow is the exact copy of the original made with the same method as a thousand years ago,and consists of only natural components. The base of the bow is wood. The inner layer was made of buffalo horn, the outer layer of glued sinew layers. The whole outer side is covered in brass brown, parchment like leather.
The „Grózer” bows have the best quality of our products. The „Grózer” Turkish is a HIGH-range in price from our „Grózer” series. The design comes from the 10th century and based on archeological grave-findings. They have a very special design (see pictures), and when the string is not on the bow they form a real „C”, which will be bent in the other direction, and this provides quite dynamic attributes for theese bows
‘C’- shape or bent forward arms
Briefly speaking I can say that with relatively soft materials like horn and sinew, the C-shape works better, but with stiffer materials such as the fiberglass, carbon, the bent forward arms are much better in case of a traditional recurve bow. There were bent forward arms bows among the old horn bows as well, where the handle angle was quite big, for example in the Avar, Hunnish types.
