The Hungarian bow is an improvement of the Hun bow.

The bow gained its strength from the way it was bent against the grain, and formed from a laminate of traditional materials glued together, working against each other to produce a very tense and strong bow. Its high intrinsic resistance to pressure meant that it had great range, but required a suitably strong arm to fully draw back the string.
