Unit Description |
|
|
While the arrival and dominance of the Turcoman Horse Archer has given Horse-Archery a Turkish face, it was only the tribal Turks who followed such traditions. Professional cavalry, including Ghulams, practiced a style of horse-archery with deeply rooted origins in the Middle East, known as 'Shower shooting', in which units of horsemen in close order shot volleys at a quick rate, seeking to shower arrows upon an advancing enemy. The fact that Muslim cavalry were expected to be competent with both the lance and the bow, as in earlier periods, is a testament to the fact that the lance, sword, and bow were very much equals in the Arab view.
