Asia Many of the highest developments and refinements in traditional archery come from this continent s rich treasury of knowledge and wisdom. The offerings below include samples spanning the vast space from the edge of Eastern Europe to Japan. Some of the offerings are imports and some are made in the U.S. and Canada. Any of the Asian bows may be shot with the three-finger release or a thumb ring or thumb leather.
All bows are equally appropriate for left or right handed persons.
