The early horse archer shown on the Assyrian carvings involve a couple of riders so that one controlled the horse and the other shot the arrows. One of the few Roman Army commanders who won battles against horse archers was Alexander the Great. However, he never ventured to lead his Roman Army into the heartlands of the horse nomads. Skirmishing requires vast areas of free space to run, maneuver and flee and if the terrain is close, light horse archers can be charged and defeated easily. Light horse archers are also vulnerable to foot archers and crossbowmen who can easily outshoot them by shooting on volleys. The heavy horse archers first appeared in the Assyrian army in the 7th century BC. The heavy horse archer had armor, leather arm guards and helmets. Sometimes, their horse had armor too. The heavy horse archer shunned skirmishing and hit and run tactics but instead formed in disciplined units and shot volleys. Robin Hood was also popularly depicted wearing leather arm guards and shooting his bow and arrow during raids. Great costume for your next halloween costume party. Important Features:
