Horseback archer preserves tradition

By Agence France-Presse in Kaposmero | China Daily | Updated: 2015-03-20 07:49

No one knows more about shooting arrows from a speeding horse than Lajos Kassai, the man called "The Master" by students and visitors alike at his school in a remote Hungarian valley.

Inspired by Hungarians' nomadic, warlike forebears who arrived in the Carpathian basin from the Eurasian steppes in the late ninth century, he follows each thud from an arrow into a flying target with a raucous battle cry.

Kassai is a living legend, the holder of five Guinness World Records, who has turned horseback archery into a recognized sport.
