Mercenary Desert Bowmen
No wind, no trees, no barriers; the desert is the perfect place to fire a bow.Massed in large numbers, eastern archers could inflict heavy casualties, and the composite bows they carried afford them greater range, accuracy and power than many of their western counterparts. Constructed from a combination of wood, sinew and animal horn, the composite bow was far more effective than the traditional wooden or ‘self’ bow. As its core offered greater flexibility, allowing the archer to draw its string back further and achieve a great range and power, the composite bow could find a target up to 35 metres away and pierce chainmail armour. Requiring great strength and stamina, it demanded respect, care and attention to use well. As military campaigns were often fought during the summer and autumn months, archers could rest their weapons during the winter - reconditioning the bodies before restringing and tensioning for future use.
