The old khan sat astride his favourite horse, its warmth penetrating the saddle. This was where he was at his most comfortable. A horse beneath him, the open sky above him, and the frigid rain caused his face to go numb and icicles to form in his beard. Seeing the enemy, he touched his bow, enjoying the smooth, well-worn leather as he caressed it like a younger man would caress their lover. As he gave the command, thousands of arrows flew across the sky, blotting out the sun and killing the enemy by the score. It promised to be a great day.

The Ready for Battle Horsebow 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 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.
