Historical Archery with Mongol Cavalry

Traditional Mongolian Cavalry performing Horseback Archery, in slow motion.
Video Footage Permission obtained by Altan Nergui, owner of Namnaa Archery Club and champion of Mongolian mounted archery of 2019.
The shield used had extra layers and the bow used was light for safety.
Archery is so ancient and integral to Mongolian culture that there is debate amongst historians over which technological advance came first in the region, the bow and arrow or the wheel.
The Mongols lived a nomadic tribal lifestyle and relied on their considerable skill at archery not only for hunting, but also as their main weapon when fighting neighboring tribes or when raiding the rich lands of China, and when faced with the retaliatory expeditions that followed.

shooting at the horse can slow it down at the very least to stop the person chasing u

[@tallest4eva]

You can imagine horses were very valuable at the time! I'm sure warriors would try to kill the rider without killing the horse so they could claim the horse as part of their booty! Many Mongols warriors would own multiple horses and swap between multiple horses when the horses got tired during long battles! As a last resort, obviously killing the horse would be a viable option!

The Mongols of Chinggiz Khaan's era were trained to ride a horse from near birth. They are literally one with their mounts as horse archery depends on very, very good timing and knowledge of the movements of horses. An arrow was never released unless all four of the horse's hooves were in the air. Otherwise downward momentum would always ruin the shot.

And that my friends is how (among other things of course) the Mongolian army destroyed just about any army in their path and conquered just about anything they set their sights on.

[@brianpeck4035]

Don't forget the siege engines. Horse back archery is age old and world wide. The true weapon of the samurai was not the katana but the horse and bow. Native Americans, Celts and many others shot backwards from a moving horse at moving targets. The Turks turned Templar rear guards into pin cushions. Pin cushions that stubbornly continued the march. I imagine many elements were involved in the Mongol destruction of armies.

[@NoelJamesRiggs]

@@brianpeck4035 yes of course you're right. It was a spectrum of abilities that defined their success in the battlefield for sure.

[@youaintready1006]

Nobody was as good at is as the Mongols though. They were more durable, tougher, and more practiced in general based on their culture. Mongolia is sub-zero (down to -30 F) in winter and hot in summer. It's essentially a cold desert that historically included what we now call Siberia--except in summer when it could go up to 80 F. Crazy temp swings--few people have ever had to survive or deal with a cold-to-hot swing of that magnitude. They learned to ride in the saddle as toddlers (true story, some of them still do it today in Mongolia that way), and archery came not long after--also on horseback. Historically, they were all hunters in the steppe b/c they had no other choice but to hunt. No houses, no farms, etc. Only way to get your food on the steppe. But even the women were decent at both riding and archery as they knew they might have to defend their yurts from raiders while the men were gone. And I'm pretty sure the composite bow they invented with sinew slapped on for more draw strength was specific to the Mongols first, or at least the Mongo-Turkic ethnic groups of the time, but definitely not the Japanese, the Celts, or any of the others.@@brianpeck4035
