Mercenary Persian Mounted Bowmen
An archer on horseback can be almost everywhere at once.Born from a tradition of raiding nomadic tribesmen, mounted archery became firmly established in the ancient world, leading to some highly effective battlefield units. While foot archers could be equipped with longer, more powerful bows, the mounted archer was still a formidable opponent thanks to the design of the composite bow. Constructed from a combination of wood, sinew and animal horn, the composite bow was far more effective than the traditional wooden variety. 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 to use well, the composite bow demanded respect, care and attention. 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.
