Famous Traditional Bow-maker of China: Gao Xiang
Gao Xiang (1971-), a famous and excellent traditional bow-maker in China. He was born in Anda City of Heilongjiang Province in 1971. Now he is worked in foreign affairs office of Anda Travel Bureau.
Making traditional bow, arrows and accessories of archery is his only hobbie. For his outstanding skills of making Chinese traditional archery, Mr. Gao Xiang was invited to attend 2009 CTAS (Chinese Traditional Archery Seminar).
His fine works won the high praise of all the seniors, collectors, connoisseurs of Chinese traditional archery and other experts of Chinese archery who attended 2009 CTAS. These seniors and experts are: Mr. Xu Kaicai, Mr. Xie Sufang (Stephen Shelby – Hongkong), Mr. Zhang Yuhua (Yuhua Jang – Taiwan), Mr. Yi Degang, Mr. Yang Fuxi and etc. (more infomation, please visit 2009 CTAS)
“I won’t do the same bow! Do the same bow will not arouse my enthusiasm” , Mr. Gao said that. So the archers should wait for about 10~13 month to get one unique traditional bow which made by Mr. Gao Xiang. “It is worthy of waiting so long, ” one archer said that, “All we know that, Mr. Goa Xiang only make 10 traditional bows each year, this is one really excellent bow which suit for shooting and hunting.”

Hi!
I am also interested in hornbows, Chinese designs in particular. Price? Models? Time of delivery?
Quality vs others like Saluki, Grozer?

I am interested in Mr Gao Xiangs bows and arrows, is it possible to purchase them?
Hi! I was just wondering, if Mr Gao Xiang sells hornbows? I have seen a photo of a Tatar bow he made, I would be interested in a bow to pull 80 – 90 lb at 81 cm draw length, and with a few custom features (regarding colour and decoration, etc). Could you send me some more information, if he sells, how much they cost?
Thanks!

Dear Sirs
I am interested in the Chinese archery, both the Ming style and Manchu style.
There are no Chinese archery lessons in Indonesia, while I myself a 3rd Generation Chinese born in Indonesia.
Recently I purchased books by Stephen Shelby on Chinese archery, therefore I have to learn archery based on that books.
I am looking for Manchu Bow made of modern materials from fibers, kindly advice if you know any maker is capable of making authentic Manchu bow
with modern materials.
I am not keen in traditonal material, as it will cost more, and it may not survive the tropical weather of Indonesia and more over
I am a beginner , a modern material manchu bow is a good start for me. Kindly advice
Regards
Johan
