ARCHERY / I've finally found the best bow !

[@simonlongbow]

Thanks for the nice video! I am really glad you like your Raptor so much!

[@RS_]

Thanks for making such a nice and very beautiful bow!

[@johnjoyce1958]

I love the fact that you place the arrow pn the right side of the bow even though you are using a right hand stance. I would do this also. I don't like the arrow to the left. Lars Anderson also recommends this way of shooting and he can get the artows off super quick and on target at the same time.

[@RS_]

A few days ago I asked if my Mum and my sister would like to have a go:) Both of them have zero knowledge about archery. I gave them my bow and one arrow , showed how its done and asked which side of the bow the arrow feels more natural and both of them chose the right side of the bow:) I wasnt expecting that tbh :) Thanks for taking time to comment! Happy Shooting!

[@johnjoyce1958]

@@RS_ yea if you're right handed the right side feels good. It is probably the opposite for left handed people. I actually went to buy a bow out of a shop and throne they tried to sell me as a right handed person had the arrow side on the left. I asked them if they had a left handed bow and they said they could order it for me. The next week they had the left handed bow in the window. They probably tried to pawn it off as a right handed bow. What a joke. I'm going to make my own one! Thanks for the reply.!

[@andrefrank8270]

Noting that you feel the vibration so slight but it let's you enjoy the superb raptor from dedicated practice. Bravo

[@matthewvassar9686]

So cool! Enjoy your new bow, sir! She is beautiful!

[@RS_]

I just cant stop shooting it :) Thanks for watching and commenting🤛

[@matthewvassar9686]

@RS_ I want one so badly. I first saw it online about a year and a 1/2 ago and just thought I had to have it! Ya know? 😆 You are truly blessed.

[@RS_]

@@matthewvassar9686I know what you mean, bro :) I know, people like different things and some bows we like more than others, but I can not immagine someone not liking this bow once tried.

[@sigmanarchery54]

That is definitely one quite bow and a great looking bow. Have fun god bless.

[@RS_]

And a great shooter! Thanks for watching! 🙏

Wooww...The best bow❤

[@andreasporch788]

Both bows very nice.

[@RS_]

Indeed!

[@yerde]

for point 2, I guess it's related more to the bow design.Longer bows are more forgiving. If the bow works from the beginning is actually a good thing. A small bow can handle less gpp than a longer one. You can try a Sav or a Nawalny or a Paragon bow, they have no hand shock at all.

[@RS_]

This one doesnt have any hand shock at all! Zero! And almost no fibrations.. I mean if I concentrate on picking them I can feel tiny tiny bit, but i need to focus to feel that. Normaly shooting I cant feel nothing at all and Im shooting quite liteweight arrows ~ 8-9gpp. As I have mentioned in the video, my Turkish bow by Vegh has very very small amount of vibrations , so I thought It can not get any better especially when I compared it to my previous bow X laminated Persian By Grozer. But when I tried the Raptor I was blown away

[@yerde]

@@RS_ the Raptor looks good but it's expensive. I own the Sav long Dacian, the Nawalny Saracen and the Paragon Raider and they are less expensive. These are good alternatives. I do own a Vegh Turkish and it has some hand shock+ vibrations, however it's a new bow and it might get better after some usage I suppose.

[@ambidextrousarchery]

Oooooooo. A Raptor! Enjoy! Great video 😎👍🏹🎥

Cheers, Man!

awesome video.

Thank You!

[@peetsnort]

Cupid has one

[@MisSorryforthespam]

I'm sorry i have an audio processing problem can you put the name of the Bowyer in the description? I can not make out what you are saying to look it up.

[@RS_]

Sure. The bow is " Raptor" By Simon's Bow Company . In short- this is the best bow I have ever tried. I havent tried loads of bows , only 6 so far, but some of the bows I've tried are regarded as a great bows ( like the one at the beginnig of the video - Turkish by Vegh) . And the Raptor is better in many ways. (at lest to me) Not by much, but enough to make it my favoutite. Hope it helps

[@-_-hi8964]

Could you post the website?

[@RS_]

If you asking about the website where I have purchased this bow , here it is simonsbowcompany.com

[@-_-hi8964]

@@RS_ thank you

[@victormartin6608]

You are shooting from the left-handed side of the bow.

[@RS_]

Yes. Im also using a thumb draw, not mediterranean or 3 under. These are asiatic bows and this is the correct way of shooting ! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@victormartin6608]

@@RS_ I see... Mongolian horse back sort of thing.

[@bernatbabcsan8248]

I have a 60# Végh turkish, Wirth light500 grain arrows its very fast, and i recently bought a full fiberglass hungarian bow 65# and it throws heavy 700grain arrows with authority it kocka like a horse, bit its Touff só tuff that u CAN USE it to Hummer nails with it😂

:D

Your old bows handle bulges outwards. The new one bulges into your palm

Thats correct

Can I have you old less favorite one? 😊

[@RS_]

:D Sure, but not for free :) Im actually selling it on ebay:)

[@kevinwilliamlowe3050]

@@RS_ I was playing but can you give me the listing I’ll take a look. Thank you for the reply. Both bows are beauty’s!

[@jimathybindlenim6359]

I have faster cheaper bow (black hunter) and is super noisy. Also missing a shelf. Looks fun tho, like the shrew bow. 6/10

[@RS_]

I know the black hunter bow. Nearly bought it. If its too noisy, put some string silincers on it,it really helps. I had to put silencer on my Grozer bow, coz I did not like the sound and the vibrations it made

[@nachtschattenmacher]

Raptor has low value to price ratio for me. i would allways take Vegh Bows first. You just get a fancy and nice made ow for much more money than other. it is not faster or quiter for this Price in compare to cheaper bows. And talking about handshock or vibration from Bows under 75lbs is quiet a fancy....

[@RS_]

Everyone is different! Ive seen people, who liked bows, that had a terrible hand shock...

[@jasontsang2232]

There is no best bow. Each bow is a balance point between stability, energy storage and efficiency. If you improve in one area, you take away from another. There is no perfect that all areas is at peak.

[@RS_]

I understand your point of view, but it all depends how you look at it( think absolute vs relative )

[@LoreFoundry]

No best bow, there are plenty of awful bows. A laminated bow should not be worth almost a thousand dollars. Check out any Korean bow company they will make the same bow for one third the price.

[@BanthamNobilis]

No such thing as "The Best Bow " Everyone shoots differently, holds the bow differently, releases differently....ALL bows shoot differently, even if they're made exactly the same!

[@RS_]

No such thing as " the best bow for everyone", but it abslolutely is the best bow for me!

[@rhabdob3895]

Sounds like a guy who hasn’t shot the best bow yet.

[@superten12]

£700 no thanks.

[@RS_]

Mine is a Black Raptor which is under 600£:)

[@notastegaming7614]

Wrong! The best bow is the compound bow! Technology > Handmade.

[@RS_]

For accuracy -100% !!!. Totally agree ! But for fun -- NOOOOO WAYYY! :) Happy shooting what ever bow you prefer!👈🤜

[@notastegaming7614]

@@RS_ I agree! Traditional until my last breath!

[@vaughncox9676]

silly boy, however we fling arrows we are brothers.I have several compounds including an osprey, but the feel of well made traditional bow will always take you to an archery satisfaction that cannot live in a compound.stick around, you will learn.
