A daikyu (pronounced: /daɪkjuː/ digh-kyoo[4]) was a type of longbow. It was the largest variety of bow in use in Kara-Tur,[5] but was rarely seen outside of that continent.[6]
Description[]
A daikyu was a large bow with a bottom grip. This allowed the bow to be easily fired from horseback or while kneeling.[5] The bow was so large, at 7 ft (2.1 m) in length[6], that anyone under 4 ft (1.2 m) was unable to use it.[7]
