In the past few decades, the practice of horse back archery in Mongolia has experienced a rebirth in the modern day after being suppressed during the Manchu era (1691-1911). The video below has Altan Nergui, the lead archer of Namnaa horse archery club, one of those involved with reviving the practice, firing at a target strapped to his friends back. Altan studied Mongol archery in history books and worked to incorporate it into on the ground techniques. Another part of the revival is the introduction of the Khiimor’/Spirit Horseback Archery Championship, beginning in 2019 and continuing to 2025.
