The Lineage of the Bow
Crafted from layered wood, horn and sinew, the Assyrian bow was designed for both chariot warfare and infantry formations. Its strong curvature and efficient energy transfer allowed archers to engage at range with devastating effect.
The Assyrian bow is a monument to the first archers who understood that the bow was not just a weapon but a system — combining materials, technique and discipline into a single instrument of precision.
The bow existed before the empire. The empire was built with the bow.

My philosophy is rooted in the balance of respect. Respect for the natural wood, respect for the ancient geometry of the horse bow, and respect for the modern archer's need for consistency. Every limb is shaped by hand, every riser is polished until the soul of the wood reveals itself."
