Han-Kyu (3.5e Equipment)

The han-kyu is a small, Japanese bow. Like all Japanese bows, the handle is located on the lower half of the bow. It is usually made out of horn or whalebone, and is around 3 feet long. The reduced size of the han-kyu is a great asset, and it is easy to store and draw. The small size also makes it very stealthy, and it is often used by assassins.

A han-kyu requires two hands to use, no matter what the size. You may draw a han-kyu as a free action.
