My family is Finnish, and recently I've taken an interest in the Magyar bows as this is the closest relation in Finnish archery I could find.  If anyone has more information on Finnish archery, please let me know.  

Also, does anyone know where I can find a Kassai Magyar bow?

... by what factors were you discriminating to get your 'relation' - I really wonder!?!
Language-wise? Distance from Helsinki? Bow design?

Kassai bows are far to popular over here. I might be able to point you to some source if it needs to be. My own interests in them are about nill though

It must be the 'Finno-Ugric' connection at play here. Paivaa y'all!!

Are finnish bows supposed to be better for shooting nutria?

Honestly, I was reading about the Magyar people, and read that their language was similar to that of the Finnish language.  Other than that, I do not know a whole lot about the history.

Other than that I'm not sure what it has to do with nutria. ?????  That's a weird comment....

I think Bjorn might be pretty close to a real answer, but like I said I know nothing.

Please inform if you have information.

Leo, just a tease to getcha' on your way!
The Finns used what became the Viking bow-a long bow; and the Hungarians adopted the Asiatic composite bow-probably through trade.
Finno Ugric is a group of languages that Finnish, Hungarian, Estonian even and some Russian folks speak.
I can understand Finnish and Estonian equally (lol) and Hungarian not at all.
The Finns have a very close, spiritual relationship to the animals when it comes to hunting, fishing and trapping-find out about your origins-it is an eye opener!
