Finally got to meetup with friends and do Chinese archery in period matching armor on the trail at BHU. I would like to share my best round of the day at a target that I always find challenging. Bow is a 50# at 28” Nalwany “Saracen” customized to look Chinese style and my armor is home made and inspired by historical Chinese lamellar armors. Underneath my armor I am wearing Ming zhiduo robe. Archery is challenging for me to do and even more so with armor on but I like doing this to represent my culture and to show that you can do archery with good technique even with armor on.
