Description: Traditional Turkish archery - practised both on foot and on horseback - encompasses principles, rituals and social practices, the craftsmanship of traditional archery equipment, archery disciplines and shooting techniques that have evolved over centuries. The craftsmanship of traditional archery equipment, generally decorated with calligraphy, ornaments and marquetry, is also a key component of the element, requiring specific skills and knowledge. Bearers and practitioners ensure the continued viability of the element by adapting it to contemporary conditions, and there has been a remarkable increase in female archers and trainees in recent years.
