Hate was a strong word. But hate was what he felt towards the invaders. It was like an angry wolf tearing its way out of his heart. They came and burned his village. Killed his family. Drove him into exile. And then they settled there. But as he sat like a shadow in the darkness beneath the trees, his bow taut with tension and his eye on a lonely guard, he swore he'd get revenge.

The Ready for Battle Bow is a realistic-looking bow made in the image of the composite bows used by such horseriders as the Mongolian hordes of the 12 and 1300s. The bow is 119 cm long and is made from fibreglass and wood. Its draw weight of 24-26 lbs. means that the bow is built to last while not having so much force that you might injure an opponent.

A few things to note with this bow is that it is handmade. It might have a few loose strands of wood or fibreglass. These should be removed carefully before use. The bowstring is handmade as well and might have a few strands loose. These can be removed and closed with a controlled flame, but be careful not to overdo it. The string is included with the bow.

The bow's draw weight is 24-26 lbs, measured with a 28" shaft, but it can vary +/- 3 lb, as it is made from natural materials. Similarly, the appearance can vary as well.
