This sport if very popular with a number of Marchador owners.

Check out this gallery from the 2010 International and the size of some of the bows, particularly of the Asian riders. Very cool!

Thank you guys! I’m just glad her mind is just as nice as her face. 
She is a good girl.
The really long bows the Asians are using are really cool, but could you imagine being on a battlefield and trying to maneuver that thing around your horse while on the move? You would lose valuable shooting time just swinging it from one side of your horse’s head to the other, etc.
I thought the same thing. Looks like the Mongolians use shorter ones when mounted, which makes sense.

Perhaps the longer bows are more traditional for the Japanese? Dunno, but in the photos from my previous post it certainly looks like they are using them to good effect.
