This is a fascinating thread. The fletching (feathers) on the arrow are unusual to my Western eyes -- very long. I wonder what effect it would have on the flight stability of the arrow? One the one hand, I can see it increasing from the greater surface area of the "wings," but on the other I can see it affecting the balance of the arrow and making it "back heavy."

This reminded me that I have some pics I took of bronze weapons in Xian (Terracotta army exhibit and Shanxi Provincial History Museum).

From the Zhou Dynasty (c.1100-256 BCE) to Qin Dynasty (221-205 BC). The frog design dagger axe head from the earlier Shang Dynasty (c.1600-1046 BC).

I was absolutely fascinated by that gold handled dagger. Love the craftsmanship in the goldwork. Notice that it's missing some of the embedded jade pieces.

This is the feather of eagle . The arrow that the tiptop waited can be used , the goose , the wild goose can not than . Feather length can make that what flies distant the arrow . The stable pneumatic outer mould that this was the best in more distant ancientry .

The sword of Qin imperial court ( 221-205 before the Christian era ) is the miracle simply ! The sword of 100 centimetres that the tomb Qin emperor was found is winding by the heavy object pressure time discoverys , forms " the shape form of L" , but moving the heavy object opens as people , it has recovered the state sharp immediately . All shock more than 100 archaeology men and scientist that digs up the field . Am I surprised to this right and wrong Chang Ling , and who knows the expert of metal ? The explanation tells I this probably ?

Hi Folks,

1. Here is a website dedicated to traditional archery:

2. I scanned this engraving in from a very old book of mine. It depicts a mounted Mongol archer of the 19th century.

Cheers
Chris
