I believe the Hankyu bow is meant for war so will using arrows heavy enough to peirce protective clothing. I would try again using 54 gram arrows at 36" which I believe was the Manchu war arrow. The heavier limbs will certainly come into effect then.

@@Saint300Sparta the bow is very short at 48 inches nock to nock. This means you get a very steep angle on the string when you pull it, resulting in an unpleasant pinch on the fingers. It's gets worse with higher poundage, like with this 45 pound bow.

I'm not sure what to conclude. Shorter drawn med draw shots will be slower than longer drawn shots thumb drawn but how much is down to the bow being used more efficiently on longer drawn shots as more poundage being is being effectively reducing the arrow GPP figure, and how much is down to the draw style is impossible to determine. None of the bows are particularly fast at 10gpp+ The Hankyu is even slower than the other two. That's about it.
@scandinavianarcher70155 ай бұрын
@@stevedjurovich194 what to conclude is what design is more effektivte. Historically the designs were based on usage and what materials was accessible. Looking at it from a physical perspective, the shorter limbs of the horsebow have less mass to move, less dead areas along the limb, and less surface areas that need to cut through the air. So for lighter drawweigts the shorter bow is more effektive. Also the material are better. Laminated with a bamboo core, vs leather covered fiberglass on the manchu and a bamboo/ash lamination on the Hankyu. When you higher in draw weight (70 pounds+) the Hankyu (yumi design) and the manchu trancend into a more effektive forcedraw ratio, becoming more effektive than they are in lighter draw weights. The high GPP og the arrows used, help reduce handshock and deliver a smoother shooting experience.
@jimathybindlenim63595 ай бұрын
Weight of the arrow is the most important thing when it comes to speed. Also a longbow can handle a heavier arrow and is basically silent with the right set up. Longbow is peak hunting, recurve is peak target. But as always there is never an always in archery

I was looking at the ragim red hawk but its similar to the cobra.

@@Sachin1671 firstly ☝️ a hybrid bow is a reflex/deflex bow shorter than 64 inches. From 64 inches and up, it's a longbow (as per international competition rules). My favourite hybrid bow is my Bodnik Slick Stick. It's so comfortable and nice to shoot. I still have the Ragim Cobra, and the Ragim Wolf. But my favourite longbow is the my Bearpaw blackfoot (the old version) very narrow and and nimble.
@Sachin167111 ай бұрын
@@scandinavianarcher7015 Thank you for correcting me, I was honestly under the impression that a hybrid is just a mid point between a longbow and recurve which was just a longbow with more of a deflex. But now I know. This would be my first bow so I didn't want to go too expensive but both the cobra and wolf seems like a good option right now. The slick stick looks great but is quite high and the blackfoot looks to be a decent step up. I still have a long time becofre I decide but I'll defenitely keep my eye out for these.

I draw these bows to between 31 and 34 inches. The hankyu has a max draw of 32 inches. No matter these bows are compared the Hankyu is slower than the Sada horsebow. It's not really a big mistery though. The limbs are heavier and longer. Also keep in mind, that this is not a yumi bow. Much shorter and can't be drawn to shoulder, unless you have short arms. My drawlength with anchor at the cheek is 28 inches. Drawing it to the shoulder would likely brake it.
