Gear Resources

Below are some excellent resources for finding equipment.

 

Horse Bows - Our man is Atilla who was born in Hungary, but lives and works here in the USA: traditional bows and archery equipment of Turkey, Mongolia, the Magyar people, and other horse archers of the steppes.  Make sure to order through Krugilla if you are Kutriguri!

 

RenBoots - Renaissance, cavalier, medieval, knight, musketeer and ankle boots, medieval shoes.

 

LeatherUp - Most boots are about 69-74 dollars. Go for the ones that are solid black or brown colors and have treads on them for traction (that last point is important since you don't want to slip one way while asking your body to go another) (this avoids injury).
#1481 , #1458, #1443 all have decent color and treads for traction.

 

Fiberglas Spear cores - From McMaster-Carr. These are the best cores for spears available.

 

Fur/Horsetails - From Moscow Hide and Fur

 

Mongolian Naming Conventions - This page documents the current usage of Mongolian language names, and romanization of those names in Wikipedia.
