== Mongolian Archery ==

The Mongols, if right-handed, keep their bow in the left hand, pushing it forward as the right arm pulled the string all the way back to behind the ear. With the left arm fully extended, they prepare to release. However, because of the power and draw force required of the bow, a special technique to hold the string is used. During the drawing of the bow and before the arrow is released the string is held by the thumb, since this is the strongest finger and the thumb is supported by the index finger curling around atop the outermost joint, at the base of the nail. The other fingers are also curled, forming a fist. The thumb is usually protected by a thumb ring of leather, agate, jade, metal, bone, or other material.

Mongolian soldiers are trained to shoot while riding on horseback, and with deadly accuracy. This is done by skilfully timing the shots to the moment when the hooves of the horse were in mid-air, so as to avoid disturbing the aim when they hit the ground.

* '''1 point:''' You do not take a multiple action penalty for combining Coordination + Riding with Coordination + Bow.
* '''2 points:''' As the 1st level technique, and in addition any unworthy opponent you attack with your bow is treated as Threat 1.
* '''3 points:''' You may attack individual targets at extreme Long range (ranges where normally you would only be able to volley into formations). Such attacks suffer a -1d penalty, however.
* '''4 points:''' You may attack two targets with a single shot. Roll your attack as normal and apply the success (if any) to both targets. If either target Parries, their Gobble Dice apply to the attack for both of them, but if they Dodge their Gobble Dice only apply separately. This shot must be your only attack in the round but it may be combined with non-attack actions.

* He saw Fawang had fired another arrow. As soon as his left foot touched the top of the city wall he immediately grabbed a bow from one of the guards and fired an arrow of his own towards Fawang’s arrow. The arrows collided in midair and Fawang’s arrow was split into two. Fawang was stunned. Suddenly, a fierce gust arrived; a ‘zheng’ sound was heard as the metal bow in his hands snapped in two.
* “You boast about your skills with the bow and arrow, and others even call you Jebe. Why don’t you and this friend of mine have a little shooting contest?” Temujin declared. In Mongolian, “Jebe” means both “arrow” and “divine archer.” Jebe had another name, but because of his incredible skill with the bow and arrow, everyone called him Jebe and his real name had long been forgotten. [Note: According to Mongol records, when he first entered Temujin’s tribe, Jebe gave his name as Jirgadei.]
* But what he didn’t know was that Bogurchi was a master at shooting arrows one after another and two more arrows bore down on him.
* Jebe, speeding his horse up, suddenly slipped off the saddle, reached down, picked up three arrows off the ground, sat back up, and shot one of them all in one motion.
* Just as it looked as if Guo Jing was about die from the spear, an arrow suddenly shot out of the Mongolian army to the left. Like a meteor shooting around the moon, the arrow hit the spear dead on the head with a loud “bang!” Packed with incredible strength, the arrow was able to deflect the spear away despite being many times lighter.
