Yarha III "Tondo Jafaku" Imperial Manchu Bow V1.1
Among the Qing imperial bows collected in the museums in China, many have original tags with the word "tondo jafaku" written in manchurian and "定把"(ding ba) in written chinese.
The word "tondo" means"straight", while "jafaku" means "bow grip". Therefore "tondo jafaku" means "straight grip" and is tranlated as "定把 ding ba” (fixed grip)in chinese.
Based on the imperial bows, we proudly present you Yarha III---the third generation of our signature Yarha manchu bow series. Just as the museum pieces, the Yarha III features a relatively narrow grip and arrow pass, with a protruding front part for more control and comfort. The arrow pass is closer to the center of the bow too.
