Archery.

This is coolbert:

WARNING: I STRONGLY ADVISE NONE OF YOU TRY THIS AT HOME!

Here with a video an example of outstanding Mongol horsemanship and archery combined. As would have been found in the forces of Genghis Khan.


 Comments:

* Horse archers of the Mongol never employing their archery skills dismounted. Always mounted.

* Mongol stirrup providing a more stable platform for the archer. Rider can stand/draw/aim/fire arrows more accurately.

* Mongol pony trained to gallop without a minimum of up/down motion. Again, allowing for the archer to achieve a more accurate shot.

* Note the use of the Parthian Shot. One rider while pursued facing backward and releasing an arrow. The Mongol noted for their use of the feigned retreat. Lure your opposition into a trap.

* Music as accompanying the video typical Mongolian throat singing. 

ONCE MORE, I WARN EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU NOT TO TRY THIS AT HOME1
