Mybo Mykan Barebow Riser Test

[@tonybriard3070]

British archer, Oliver Hicks, age 17, is the current Barebow World Record holder for 72 arrows at 50 metres, and he uses this bow, a Mybo Mykan.

[@derekhunt9118]

Mybo are building a very good reputation for quality.

[@daveholland6170]

The new Mybo Talis is a beautiful well balanced riser 😉

[@matthewpellew7731]

I shoot a Mykan and absolutely love it . I was lucky enough to get one second hand . I am entirely convinced that it is the blue and gold colour combination that is helping me score more points than my black exceed or my red CD risers … as Steve says … it’s ALL about the colour !!!!

[@sjankarcher]

Wiawis blew my mind when I saw they include a pre-cut transparent tape that you can stick on the shelf of the riser so it would be protected from scratches there. So I bought a big sheet of similar tape and cut them myself and put them on my new compound bow wherever an accessory go, like rest, sight, v-bar. All protected. If I ever decide to sell this bow it will look almost brand new. Unless that tape decides to leave a mark.

[@adamlebner8429]

I bought mine 2nd hand for 750 with an r-core grip, a couple of scratches and absolutely love it. Black with a red weight. Got some WiaWis MXT-XP(foam) 36# limbs from you, it is an absolute beast of a combination. I gap shoot, but it's an amzing setup regardless. Rapidly became my favourite. Love it.

[@NPC-fl3gq]

I thought it was worth $650, the exact same as Steve ...so I'm guessing that's about right given that you paid $750 for a slightly modded one.

[@HondoTrailside]

I remember when they came out with the Masters of the Barebow video, that some of the top archers had plucking releases, and some also had that conscious follow through. Good to hear your perspective. The release aid is the single most important technology in archery. If one really wanted to get back to basics and make stickbow archery more reliable, a shoot through rest and a release aid, and no other tech would make archery a lot more ethical, and a lot easier to successfully set up. I have been shooting fingers for about 55 years, and I still don't know how one gets an unconscious release with fingers. Clickers, help, but as a hunting archer, I don't shoot them. I don't just mean I can't do it, I mean I don't even know what the concept is. I have done a billion posts on archery forums, and never managed to get anyone to explain it. One tries to reduce the three conscious elements in the shot process to one. Can't be easily done without a release aid. The other advantage to release aids is you can use a shoot through rest, and spine is greatly simplified. I think that Hill had a technique where he paused before the anchor, allowing him to then draw to anchor and release the moment he reached full draw, without rushing the shot. The trigger to release was touching anchor, and functioned like a clicker. But he wasn't snap shooting. There is another technique that works pretty well, but I am not sure it survives constant use. There are methods that work until they become routine, and then creep back into consciousness. Like hammering a release works so long as it is triggered by something like tracking an animal that jumped out of it's bed. Essentially the unexpected appearance of the animal in like a clicker. But hammering a release is the height of bad technique under normal conditions.

Cerakote is a painted finish with ceramic particles in it. It's supposed to be super tough but very thin. Maybe for how thin it is, it's very durable compared to other finish options. I have an expensive cerakote finished riser and it scratches very easily. In my experience much easier than anodised or powder coated finishes. My cheap risers with their anodised finish are holding up much better. In my opinion cerakote is choosen by manufacturers because it's much easier and cheaper to do compared to anodising and gives more colour options too.

[@Buran01]

Cerakote was made popular in the firearm industry, then moved to fitness gear and lately to the world of archery, but as you say is a hard finish but at the same time is brittle. So oeverall anodized (specially from Prime and Elite) are much better.

[@NPC-fl3gq]

I'm surprised it's as common as it is on firearms given how brittle it is. The aftermarket industry in the USA is astonishingly huge, so I'd have thought superior options would've taken over the market.

[@Alan_Edwards]

I do not disagree that color IS important and I have to admit it was a big factor for me when I bought my first bow. However, now that I am educated and a fairly decent bow mechanic, I look for things like adjustability, quality components and machining....then color.

[@NPC-fl3gq]

It's almost dead last for me. Once I've decided on what bow I want I then ask "so what colours have you got", and I'll likely still buy it even if my favourite colour isn't available.

[@timkaldahl]

I keep forgetting that it's winter in the southern hemisphere until I see you in a stocking cap. Thanks for the video. As for the plucking, guilty as charged.

[@Australian_Made]

We call 'em Beenies.

[@timkaldahl]

@@Australian_Made Touk?

[@GryphonHall]

It looks beautiful. Like the wings of a phoenix. I wish I had one.

[@simonschuh5283]

It really is a beautiful riser. BTW my Supra Focus and my Topoint Unison are both purple and you sold me both of them. and I am not a big string walking fan and do not teach it to new archers when I coach.

[@petrokemikal]

Colour of a bow is very important to pretty much everyone.. Its one object.. Much like a car.. So if you are paying big money for it then you should be able to choose what colour you want.. Im also into the MTB scene, and those guys talk about colour all day.. Theres even a thread on a forum I frequent where people share ways of removing the stickers from there bikes and even upload photoshopped edits of there bikes in different colours without stickers..

[@Gibsonlife573]

Such as Brady Ellison that dude has one of the most phenomenal releases I've ever seen when it comes to recurve

[@matthewotis3594]

Ceramic finishes are awesome. Basically what ceracote is. Not sure f what method they use to finish that bow but it's ceramic finish. Super durable and long lasting if done right. Takes more abuse, not saying abuse your things but still a nice advantage.

[@raffs367]

Stringwalking is the same as setting the sight (but opposite). You use the point of the arrow to aim. If you are shooting high, you move your hand down the string.

[@Lost_Hwasal]

cerakote is a brand name and is paint mixed with epoxy basically, it is resistant to flaking off the way normal paint would.

[@Little-by-little-more]

That riser is comically big😂

[@lucpet95]

I find the negative tiller the BB's use makes them louder

[@markstevenson3880]

I had better have my PC monitor checked for colour balance. That bow looks almost pink to me, definitely not orange.

[@terryd8692]

I cant belive people pick a bow on just the colour. I bought mine because it looked cool (hoyt carbon matrix)

[@davejenner7966]

Pressure button can be also be M8 according to the Bieter data sheet for their buttons, never found one though!

[@Australian_Made]

The M8 fine is for ancient Yamaha Risers.

[@Australian_Made]

You CANNOT buy any Riser BRAND NEW with M8. (only second hand could be 8mm)

[@stevehunt4660]

Yamaha was M8..

[@shortbuslife3440]

Do you have a Topoint Starting 36 in and what do you think of it as a package? I'm looking at getting one for my 30 year old son for Christmas as he's is just getting started in archery and would love your feedback on it.

[@liamboyle9199]

Dont tempt me Steven😅

[@terryd8692]

Do you offer a bow painting service for people that want a wooden bow in another colour?

[@Australian_Made]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Australian_Made]

Henry Ford said you can buy his cars in any colour as long as you buy it in black.

[@llllogix]

do you know of any authorized dealers in the US for Mybo?

[@liamboyle9199]

From what I know Mybo does not have a dealer in the USA because, with there compounds, there are patent infringements with USA products.

[@TimSmith-hf3ix]

I got mine at Lancaster Archery supply.

[@thephoenicianarcher5267]

Stiff arrows leaves marks like this

[@fahlvfaust677]

Mybo Talis..

[@ShaneBolerHunting]

Sounds like you’re slamming a screen door it’s so loud

[@Buran01]

Can bet the limbs but no matter what barebow are always louder than other modalities since string walking forces the user to aply uneven pressure in each limb.

[@waynestevenson9613]

He’s not string walking. It’s just loud!

[@hobbytoanything]

too much shock vibration. lousy assembly.. 😅 before shoot

[@theephemeralglade1935]

What the Hell is, "Chooning"?!

[@Matto_Harvo]

It’s what you do to a bow after eating choona sangas

[@lordcarnorjax8599]

Aussie pronunciation of "Tuning"

[@sage1d590]

Watch this video carefully my friend and you’ll notice yourself ‘fake’ releasing or plucking ie you let go of the string, before moving your hand back in a separate action. Classic beginner mistake…and you ain’t a beginner!

[@BRAZEY78]

Yep, on both split and 3 under. He looks kinda surprised/scared and flinches on release 😂

[@michaelburrows7600]

By all means review the Mykan as a product but shooting a barebow which you obviously know nothing about is just silly. Shooting barebow is a skill I would contend is in advance of Olympic and when you see what can be achieved by a competent archer(like Oli Hicks) is just awesome. So if you are going to demo shooting a bow best stick to what you know

[@Gibsonlife573]

I've always disagreed with that I don't know why the hell they tap them and then paint them if anything hate them and then run a test or you're doing it on a machine it ain't like you're tapping it by hand you know what I mean so the machine should keep the tap pretty clean I would rather have it not have paint in the hole and be freshly tapped you know what I mean all Down in the Hole you take too many damn chances of people cross threatening that rest vote 51624 it might be 516 18 I can't remember

[@robert43g]

My god has that riser been hit by the ugly stick a couple of times

[@TrevC-co6xk]

It is the ugly stick! 😝

[@HondoTrailside]

The whole barebow riser thing is just stupid. You could shoot a riser costing 100 dollars to the same effect, and just have a 12" stabilizer. They just shot themselves in the foot by creating a rule that creates stupid looking bows, that cost a fortune, and are just the usual USA cheater mentality. So you mold in the stabilizer. By the same rationale, you could mold in sights. How is it a barebow if it has an attached rest and grip? So much fail. It is a minuscule sport, and they make it as expensive as possible. The US constantly makes restricted classes like IPSC, or Silhouette (explicitly or not), then they blow them up, and make them stupid by unrestricted tech cheating. Usually they die, or become embarrassing, but archery is fundamentally cheap enough this nonsense could hang around for ever.

[@Gibsonlife573]

That's got to be the stupidest thing I've ever heard don't worry about a bow and arrow color I'm worried about if I can hit the bullseye at 50 yards
