Hungarian recurve bows

The Europeans first met the Hungarians during the 862 Pannonian campaign . By the X.century the Hungarians were raiding Europe with their fast horses at their will. The most advanced weapon of the time was the recurve bow. It’s shooting distance was twice as long as the western bows. Because of this Hungarian warriors were able to shoot the enemy from a safe distance. These type of recurve bows were widely used by the various people who were riding their horses from Mongolia to the Carpathians in the inlands of Eurasia. They were the Schytians, the Huns, the Avars, the Sarmatians etc..
