VI00000013 Wisdom of Mongolian Bow Makers
Traditional Knowledge and Technique of Making a Bow and Arrow In many countries, people craft bows and arrows, but practitioners in Mongolia are the only ones who still make a bow with bamboo or birch for the medial part; with the sinew of camels, bovine, and equine animals for the outer back part; and with the horn of a wild buffalo or ibex for the inner part. Currently there are five different forms of archery practiced in Mongolia: khalkh, buriad, uriankhai, morin, and sarampai archery. The need to revitalize and develop adequate craftsmanship for each is becoming increasingly important.
