From 500's to 1500's Turks and Mongols dominated the world's battlefields. This success was thanks to the technology of composite curved bows. In this tour, we will learn the history of archery and then specifically focus on Turksh-Ottoman archery. At the end of the tour, I will teach you archery in our private archery range.

This is an experience-based tour so there will be sportive activity. If you are new to archery I recommend you wear something with long sleeves, because it is possible that the bowstring might hit your arm and cause a little pain. Also, for sensitive skin, you can bring a small glove to protect your left arm from arrow cuts.
