Yes and no Mongol Bow was a thing that was just a lot better for this era compared to rest of Eurasia especially with combination with mongols tactics and rest of the regions didn't fight horse archers much for centuries but ofc. you can disagree.
I think its up for debate how much their bows were compared to other steppe people. Since we don't know exactly how the bow making changed across the centuries.
Even if we would accept that their bows were better then some other steppe peoples, he still thought many people that for sure had the same bows as he did.
In fact, most of his life, he thought people who had the same technology, including the invasion of the Qara Khitai.
Then the Jin had allies that likely had the same bow technology. However it seems most of those allies just switched sides.
Only the Khwarazmian Empire and Xia likely didn't have significant troops armed the same way.
