Her arms ached like someone had given her a beating. The strain of holding the string taut was nearly unbearable, and she released it with a whoop of air. "Still not good enough!" her trainer shouted, startling her. "Again!". It had been hours and hours, but she would endure. She pulled her Horsebow taut again, mentally preparing to hold it as long as possible. She would become a warrior.

The Ready for Battle Bow Deluxe 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 133 cm long, has a fibreglass core, and is covered in soft suede. Its draw weight of 24-26 lbs. ensures that the bow is built to last while not having so much force that you might injure an opponent. The leather grip is not only a stylish and interesting detail but also ensures that you have a better grip.

A few things to note with this bow is that it is handmade. It has been sanded down to be smooth and comfortable to 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.
