Asymmetric Hun Bow “Deer” (Szarvas) by Kassai
Premium Asymmetric Hun Horse Bow for Mounted Archery and Traditional Shooting
The Asymmetric Hun Bow “Deer” (Szarvas) is one of the most refined traditional bows developed by Lajos Kassai, the founder of modern mounted archery. Designed for exceptional stability, comfort and durability, this premium Asiatic horse bow is built for archers who demand precision during intensive training and competition.
Its unique asymmetric design was developed specifically for horseback archery, allowing a smoother shooting cycle and easier handling while riding. At the same time, it performs exceptionally well for target shooting and traditional archery from the ground.
Developed from a World Record Bow
The predecessor of the Deer model was extensively tested by Lajos Kassai during his famous 12-hour non-stop mounted archery world record attempt in 1998. Those extreme conditions revealed every possible weakness a bow could have.
Using the knowledge gained from thousands of shots under continuous use, Kassai refined the original design and created the Deer (Szarvas)—a stronger, smoother and more durable asymmetric Hun bow.
Its exceptionally long and smooth draw reduces physical strain during long training sessions while maintaining excellent accuracy and shooting comfort.
The philosophy behind the Deer bow is perfectly reflected in its traditional name:
“Robust Honour.”
