    Either that man is very short, or I significantly underestimated the size of the bow.

    I fail to understand how that size would be practical...

    Guys... more bow = more power....

    and... really? not all scythian archers were on horseback! a big bow is viable

    The one in the top pic with the person standing looks like some sort of "composite long-bow", it's not the Scythian...
