New! SiCai Bamboo - laminated Bow - by AF Archery - Review

[@prstostvo]

Armin, I have been watching your videos for years. You helped inspire and enable my journey and new found love (and addiction) of traditional archery. I love love love your content man. Keep it up!!

[@ArminHirmer]

thank you

[@CarlDWardJr]

I bought this bow just because of your review, not my first Asian bow. All you have stated I have found to be true with mine and it is 50# @28 inches. Extremely happy with it and it is very beautiful and a great bargain for the price. Thank you for all the great work you provide the archery community. From USA living in California. My other main bow is a Howard Hill Weseley Special and all bamboo 45 # @ 28 inches and is a lot harder bow to shoot compared to this one but just as much fun in a different way!

[@johncuthbertson2565]

Bamboo is truly a gift from the gods, love long draw shapely bows. Beautiful 🙏

[@kaiserkuo]

My SiCai (50# @28”) in black and white ebony with a carbon core is tied with my Spearman Tang Changshao 140 as my favorite target bow. I own 7 AF bows and love every one of them!

[@Bjoern_Weber]

Thanks for telling how many bows you have alone of them. Because I just ordered my 4th bow from a different producer and now I want to purchase even another one D: But I will have to be patient until that, maybe in a week or two (just kidding)

[@matthewmaxcy1574]

I've been eyeing AF bows lately ,they look like a quality bow for a affordable price.

[@EdenAirafyd]

I love your videos. They are what actually got me interested in learning Asiatic shooting, and I got to shoot my AF Tatar for the first time today. I absolutely love it. Thank you!

[@skychaser996]

Great content, great shooting. AF started a bit slow few years ago but they have come a long way. Very hard to beat the price quality ! They just are really really good bows. How do I know? I own 3 of them lol. I shoot mounted, full tilt and always end up with a nice group. Besides horse bows , I shoot TD recurves and Compounds as well, but these tiny AF bows are just insanely good and tons of fun to shoot. You will never regret buying one! Danke fur deine rezenzion :)

[@ingo8382]

Danke für das Video....hab ihn mir gerade bei Af bestellt, bin sehr gespannt

[@여단-i8e]

You've been posting videos a lot these days! make me happy

[@miguelveratraditionalarche9374]

Wow! What a pretty Ming bow, wow yeah rock the morning. 😊 For the price is very good choice. Thanks for review Armin and you shoot awesome. 👊😃

[@0ooTheMAXXoo0]

Looks like different shapes and different tips from a Ming bow. This one is more like a Tatar bow...

[@RajaSingh-lk2oi]

I bought the arc rolan 26 # after your review been 40 days I havnt shot my bow , holiday in india, another 42 days until I'm back home and can start my archery again....😢 ......your videos are keeping me going ❤

[@ZephrusPrime]

Looks like a large Tartar, hope one day to see a review of AF's newer Carbon Babylon.

[@TheBackyardJedi-nv5ib]

You got me sold. I’m planning to buy the Birds Eye Maple version. Thank you so much for your bow reviews.

[@ezadisnin3048]

love to have this bamboo version. mine was ashwood. very nice bow to shoot. good review Mr. Armin

[@harlinwall9367]

What a wonderful bow! I love my birdseye maple takedown...but this bamboo version sure is pretty! Thank you for yet another fun review!

[@kennethhollenbeck7107]

Very nice review, you just can't go wrong with AF bows, I have several and none have ever disappointed me.''

[@Alejandro-te2nt]

This bow has such a lovely profile.

[@atune2682]

Tolles Video Armin! :D

[@davidlargen6945]

Beautiful design. I really like the performance

[@agamagreen]

A very convincing bow! Looks beautiful, helps grouping and good price - what else do we want? 😁👍 Thank you so much for the nice review, dear Armin! ☺️🙏

[@b4bluey]

Thank You Armin, That Bow is just my cup of tea > so to speak ?

[@iqseventy]

superb bow 🎉

[@志杰周]

sicai is the best and most worthwhine bow for af

[@h0tkoko]

I like the bow sleeve, nice to have on the bow rack

[@lobo4245]

Awesome content. Very nice bow. AF is definitely on my list for bows .

[@Leverguns50]

Amazing looking bow

[@UTxTheArchangel]

What a pretty bow, I don't own any AF bows, but I really wanna try theirs out. From your videos they seem like a top tier bowyer/company. Eye popping curves when strung. Looks fun to shoot.

[@ArminHirmer]

AF is for sure one of the few premium bow companies in China

[@0ooTheMAXXoo0]

Looks like their version of a large Tatar bow. The horsebow is like a small Tatar bow, then they have their Tatar bows and then this Si Cai is like a large Tatar bow.

[@ArminHirmer]

I think the base design of all these bows is tatar. then you just have them longer or shorter, siyahs a bit longer and maybe the sitar angle different

[@Snobord85928]

Mine just got delivered today! 20# since I draw about 33-34 inches.

[@alexisalliel73]

I feel like with af one should always go with their upgrade string and not the base one, the bow performs so much better and sounds like music.

[@pdj2975]

i cant wait for my AF Jebe V2

[@The_Pickle34]

I just broke mine :( it's such an amazing bow... I need to replace it. same again or this SiCai??

[@pdj2975]

@@The_Pickle34 I like the sicai

[@crmmedicine9701]

Love your channel. Where can I get the thumb glove that you're wearing? Thanks.

[@tyrantwitness2482]

Is there a website listing all the Asiatic bows available, especially long draw, takedown bows?

[@jareth7456]

I've never been a big fan of deflex in bow limbs but it seems to work well with the SI CAI .....sweet shooter Armin well done buddy , personally I think you deserve some compensation from the companies who build these bows ....I would assert that if someone buys one it's usually going to be because they saw and liked your review of that particular bow .....your the single greatest advertisement for all of these companies....except for mariner but it's their loss

[@ArminHirmer]

hahaha thank you. yeah would be nice. When I see how many people buy how many bows because of my reviews... if I would only get 10 bucks per sold bow, I could buy a piece of land here for an archery range :D

[@ErenhillVlcipatron]

Hello Armin, please where can I buy the shooting glove you are using in this video, thumb and index finger protection, thank you very much

[@ArminHirmer]

I got mine from Freddie Archery

[@ErenhillVlcipatron]

Thank you for your reply, I'm a fan of yours, YOU and Mr. Cozmeie inspired me to start shooting, I've been shooting for half a year now and I think I'm making a lot of progress thanks to your videos

[@m.ikhsanvanbanjar7001]

Thank You...Nice bow

[@ambidextrousarchery]

Wow. Another AF bow that I think looks fantastic. Might be my next bow. Thank you for producing the review, Armin! Thank you AF for another great bow 🙇🏻‍♂️👍🏹🙂

[@corujariousa]

Thank you for video! I have watched several from your channel and can't have enough. I see some good bows (well constructed) sometimes are louder than expected. I have been waiting for you to make a video of your best 5 or 10 bows (solid construction, silent, precise, etc). What about that as an idea? 😉

[@fmagalhaes1521]

Hallo Armin. Ich mag den Haftungsausschluss, especially the part in this video… you might find some harsh words, as well as some fine sarcasm.” Das is sehr gut. Grusse von de V.S.

[@aal-e-ahmadhussain3123]

It’s one of those bows which looks as pretty when it’s unstrung.

[@maltekrumpler5329]

Hey Armin. Looks like AF does not produce the integrated bridge anymore as seen in your older video reviews for AF bows. Do you have any information why that is? Best regards Sven

[@0ooTheMAXXoo0]

Now they have options to customize every bow!

[@maltekrumpler5329]

@@0ooTheMAXXoo0 😅 I just realized that a few days ago as well. Now it makes it really easy to get what you want. And the price is not bad either. I come to a lower price now with more options as the versions they had before.

[@peterkleinert8116]

Very nice bow BUT: Where can I buy this bow? I dont want to order but buy in a shop or via Dealer in Germany/Austria?

[@picatchouartbraille3379]

Bonjour de Montpellier? Question? à quelle distance vous tirez pour cette vidéo s'il vous plait. Bien à vous Patrick Dupré

[@ArminHirmer]

15-20 m

[@picatchouartbraille3379]

@@ArminHirmer Un grand merci à vous./A big thank you to you.

[@provisionlongbows8881]

Is the vibration bad thing? I make bows from solid wood. And it seems like my best performing bows have that vibration in the limbs when you pluck the string like you did in this video. When the bow is braced I can feel and somewhat hear the vibration in the limbs for about 3 seconds when I pluck it.

[@ArminHirmer]

imo 3 seconds is fine, I had some bows they were like a guitar and never stopped vibrating. its a personal thing, I just dont like this vibration

[@provisionlongbows8881]

@@ArminHirmer agh! Makes sense. Thank you! Love your videos! 🙏🏾

[@dheerajchidambaranathan]

Armin, between this and their Tartar bow for the price, which one would you recommend with a long draw length (>29-30")?

[@davidlutsi2390]

Almost looks like AliBow is making it for them. Great looking bow but I just can’t get away from my AliBow Tatar lol

[@headliner4942]

Hallo Armin! Weißt du was bei einer Bestellung des Bogens noch an Steuern und Zollgebühren dazu kommen?

[@Bjoern_Weber]

Hi, nichts, der Preis enthält die Lieferkosten. Also 299$ oder so ca 285€

[@Jordan-j3n]

How does this compare to Alibow's Emperor bow?

[@ArminHirmer]

too long ago to tell

[@epone3488]

Design; Scythian maybe? its got a Scythian look to my eye.

[@pyramid_scheme_termination3655]

you donr shoot with a forward lean like a lot of warbow archers

[@ArminHirmer]

and? must I shoot like this? nobody told me, omg!!

[@MrOrigamiPants]

It’s pronounced like the English words soot-sigh, right up against each other.

[@timcline2799]

AF promotes ash & other wood as ‘stronger’ longer lasting than bamboo- Ha, Ha,AF! Any skier that has bamboo skis knows reverse is true. Marketing baloney

[@h0tkoko]

I like the bow sleeve, nice to have on the bow rack
