I don't know what Jay used, but Japp Koppedrayer (sp?) make Mongol style horse bows.

I make sinew backed osage plains style horse bows (and arrows).  Just made one for a fella in Pennsylvania.

I have shot lots of different types. Hungarian, Korean, Turkish and more. The best I shot is the Grozer Assyrian biocomposite.
But I am sure there are better ones made by Border and J-bow (Finland) if you don't mind the price.

One possibility is a u-finish horse bow by Attila.
They are inexpensive. You would get your hands on one quickly made to your draw weight.

One bow. One arrow. My ideal.

Ed Scott makes the finest ones, in my opinion.

If you are looking for a true Asiatic HornBow(horsebow) there are a few folks that make them either like the originals or with modern materials. If you are looking for an American style(Plains Indian) Matt Wiricki(MWirwicki above) will make you a beautiful, well made set.
