Have you tried a net search for horse archery. There is a good world wide network of horse archers. In some resent PA Magazines there were a few different articles about horse archery. Search here too.

 I do quite a bit of shooting from horseback... just get a good horse, and give it a go... loads of fun, and really sharpens your instinct shooting... good luck .....Hawk

After  reading this  thread  I  got to  wondering, what  you  think  the  best  type  of  bow would  be  to  shoot  on  horseback:) Some  of the  asian horsebows  are certainly  dazzling and  historical,  but  not  neccessarily the  best  bow  to hunt/shoot  from  horseback,  I'm  wondering  if any riders  here  have  put their bows  to the  test:)

Chad, if you have a good horse I would just jump in and get started. It  is not as hard as you would think, and a lot of fun. The better trained the horse the better.

  I'd go with a good Cow horse and a lighter weight bow. And from experiance, don't try a compound. I walked a long way to the trailer the first time. ::)

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

LMAO ... Thanks Eddie. I have a short recurve . That was just a funny post ..What spooked the horse ? Was it the compound ? Looking for a horse breeder that shoots or has shot that I can get with and talk too. Thats for all the input guys !
