Good to see the equestrians honoring man's other best friend.

I'd fall off the horse the moment I would raise the bow. If not, to hit a target. It better be a London bus.

And now you know why the daikyu is short on the bottom and tall on the top. Its so it can be easily wielded on horseback. I grew up shooting a standard recurve bow. As genius as the daikyu is, I can't shoot one worth a spit because its just too different from what I grew up with. Sad, because I would like to shooting one on horseback myself.
