This Website is still under construction. Please check back for updates. I will post all new changes on the Updates page. Thanks!

Horseback archery is a mounted martial art rapidly growing in popularity. The purpose of this site is to have an updated information source where mounted archers can post information about what is going on with horseback archery in the US, and around the world. Here in Oregon we are gaining new horseback archers every year, and I wanted to create a site where people can find information on local mounted archery activities. For hundreds of years horseback archery was a discipline that fed tribes and conquered enemies, helping horse cultures flourish on many continents before almost disappearing into history. Now there are multiple mounted archery demonstrations and competitions all over the world every year.

It is going to take me a while to finish what I want to add to my site; there are still some pages with no content. Here is a list of what I plan to add as soon as I have some spare time, and find someone to help me take pictures:

  • Need to find way to get my links page back on this new format, and have to edit my new header picture to have a title on it.
  • I want to get pictures loaded of suitable horse tack for mounted archery.
  • Tips on how to assess and train your horse for mounted archery. Including how to train with leg aids, and desensitizing your horse to equipment.
  • Targets: what kinds of targets I recommend, and how to make your own mogu and rolling targets. Also pictures of quick and easy target stands.
  • How to do a thumb draw/three finger draw, bow care, and how to string a bow etc.
  • The endless list of contacts I need to add to my contact page, lost of long distance phone calls to make. I also want to create a section of the contacts page for all of my mounted archery friends and their organizations around the world.

I also want to finish the Home page by adding the history of the revival of horseback archery by Kassai Lajos, and others who were taught by him. As well as how the practice of horseback archery was brought about in the USA by events such as the International Horseback Archery Festival.  But that it going to take quite some time, and I will need to ask for permission to use pictures of Kassai etc. Too much to do, with so little time!

This website template is not a one-size fits all screens kind of thing. If the site looks funny to you, please shoot me an e-mail. I am trying to make it so that it can work for everyone’s monitors. My monitor is 24″ so sometimes I forget other people are seeing things on a smaller screen hehe. Also, correct me on any typos please! And if there is information not provided here that you are interested in, please let me know and I will either add it to my site, or send it in an e-mail.
