Welcome Greek Centaurs! I looked at your links and only wish I read Greek. Please show us your bows, arrows and whatever else you make.
  We have a few American Greeks here on PA. I'm sure they and the rest of us will be pleased to welcome you to our camp fire.

Welcome guys, Let's see some bows.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Thank you very much, dear Pat B and mullet!

As we are a quite large group (more than 360 members) we have many types of bows, mainly "KASSAI" and Korean. For example, all bows we offer to members they have no bow (bows for common use) are "KASSAI" but anybody has the right to choose any type of traditional bow.
Starting five years ago as representative of "KASSAI" Organization in Greece, our group come in touch with its bows and traditional archery rebirth in our country using these bows (http://www.horsebackarcherygr.com/BOWSKASSAI.html). After participating in S. Korea's W.T.A.F. we come in contact with Korean archery and traditions (http://www.horsebackarcherygr.com/WTAF2010.html).
The founder of our group studied Mongolian archery in Mongolia, so we use also some Mongolian bows (http://www.horsebackarcherygr.com/dokimiMongolia.html).
Recently one of our members achieved to reconstruct a Greek-Scythian bow using absolutely authentic materials and construction methods (http://horsebackarcherygr.blogspot.gr/2011/09/ana.html). This is one of the most accurate bows ever used.
Furthermore, we are aiming to reconstruct an authentic ancient Greek bow for our group. We are working on this field searching deeply historical sources.

Some of our "KASSAI" bows exhibited before one show of us (http://www.horsebackarcherygr.com/EQUESTRIANMARTIALARTSSHOW.html).
