“The Raider” Steppe Horse Bow

Inspired by the Horse Archers of the Steppe
For centuries, the nomadic peoples of the Eurasian plains mastered mounted warfare through discipline, mobility, and superior archery. Their compact reflex bows became symbols of freedom, adaptability, and martial excellence.
The Raider pays tribute to that tradition—not as a museum replica, but as a dependable modern bow built to be shot often and shot hard.
It carries the spirit of the open steppe into every practice session, every hunt, and every challenge you choose to pursue.
