Materials

The materials used to make an Ottoman Turkish bow are crucial to its performance. The most important material is the wood, which should be strong, flexible, and durable.

Design

The design of an Ottoman Turkish bow is also very important. The bow should be designed to be both powerful and accurate. The shape of the bow, the length of the limbs, and the placement of the siyahs (the tips of the limbs) all affect the performance of the bow. There are many different designs of Ottoman Turkish bows, each with its own unique characteristics.

Manufacture
