Mughal composite Bow by Carebows - Review

[@jasonpercy184]

The warm up and straightening just ensures you develope a close personal relationship with it. I personally love it .

[@mbfloris612]

Good example that a composite bow itself is not automatically the best, it still has to be very well built. A note about the draw weight: according to Adam Karpowicz, hornbows outplay their advantages over selfbows at high draw weights like 70lbs and above, so like Armin said, it doesn't make much sense to build a hornbow with lesser poundage.

My first horsebow is a composite bow, made of wood, horn and sinews with artificial glue. This bow was easy to handle the first months (no twisting). Then the bow has twisted a little (3-5cm distance between the centerline of siyahs). So far I didn’t take the time to prepare him, but after watching the video, I think, the bow should see the world outside the living room again 😁 Thank you for sharing your impressions! ☺️🙏

Second the opening roll started I was like "Oh my, that's art." What a gorgeous bow. Every curve on that bow is fierce. lol Great review as always. Your channel is serious the only channel I tell ppl to check out if they wanna see anything archery or bow reviews.

[@ArminHirmer]

Thank you

[@lulustocke8251]

Yeah, composite bows are a thing for themselves. And I adore them ❤️ You need to take good and constant care of them. My very sensitive Sipahi needs permanent treatment, even while shooting. It takes a day to brace and getting it in a shootable form, but I enjoy it very much. Patience is the main key when it comes to real composite bows 😊

[@jenjen7728]

It's a beautiful bow, paint job and curves😍 but I couldn't deal with it. Bows like that remind me of how little patience I really have, just when I think I was getting better.😁 Thank you for all the work Armin, to bring this video to us.

[@declanaquilina1447]

Every time with a beautiful interesting bow, keep up the good work Armin😄😄

[@Archerstidbits]

That first shot lol, like a gun shot going off👌😁

If you have a composite made by a master Bowyer your simply not going to have these problems with it being straight and balanced and ✔ it from time to time is just a formality with almost zero need for any intervention at all. The man in my opinion that makes the absolute best composite bows is Lukas Novotny the man is truly a master Bowyer . There's a deal on KZbin about the Mugals and Lukas Novotny is demonstrating the Mugal bow made by him and see the difference between this one poor Armin is having to fiddle with and the way they're supposed to be . Lukas is shooting his Mugal bow and it sounds like a large bullwhip everytime he released. .

[@ArminHirmer]

thats true, on the other side you know that Lukasz is building his bows just for performance. Many of them do not last very long and then it is a very expensive fun

For a spiritual man, you are very impatient, Armin 😁 I could imagine stringing and heating up the bow can be a nice ritual. Very meditative. But if you're not prepared for it, you'll probably find it frustrating. But I think it's not fair to give a 7 on the handling, as these bows are in a category of their own. It's expected that they are not easy to handle. No?

[@ArminHirmer]

some well known horn bow builders say, that if the bow is well built, it does not require a huge amount of preparation

[@gizmonomono]

@@ArminHirmer I don't doubt it. There is no way these bows were used in war if they twisted so easily. 😁 But still, a bit of preparation is more than none. It's not a bow for everyone, but some people enjoy this. Which people? People who live in the moment. They will not find it taxing, but relaxing. It's difficult to do this, as you know, but having a bow like this would be an awesome exercise in awareness. This is why I would love to own a horn bow one day 😁 And to live my life with no rush. Just to enjoy every moment of it.

[@hambaallah1948]

Old time. They dont prepare the bow. The bow it self is their life. Today people eat buy at shop People before hunt with their bow. Today people go gym weight steel People before used bow and train for it. People today go to work for food They go hunt for food Their bow always in train. When in time of war. They already ready for war.

[@SwissFiveNine]

... till you're ready to shoot, war is over. So it's some kind of healthy bow (and a beautiful one). Greetings :-).

[@iqseventy]

composite bow need low GPP 👍 i tried one of mughal composite indonesian bowyer but not carebow is kinda unique. when i shot with 8 gpp its handshock but when i shot with 5 gpp arrow that he always used the handshock is kinda gone

[@iqseventy]

composite is need special care and time it will take shape (with the sign when its not twist and become low handsshock) according the shooter habit maybe take 2-3 months daily shooting that why usually you dont lend the bow with another shooter

[@carlredbird3054]

That is a sweet little bow, maybe one day I'll try a composite bow, but all that tinkering to keep it straight But it's pretty enough to hang up on a wall as art

[@Houston123ABC]

Armin Hirmer has me so wanting a bio composite bow. I just don't know which one yet. Mongol, Tatar, Korean . . . . . . .

[@terrancat]

Right?! My first self purchased bow was going to be Alibow but now I'm thinking save up for Care.

[@darrensimms5605]

Great review armin , I could see ur shoulder suffering lol at 55 Great bow though as for me probably a bit short in draw as I got long arms and stocky build

[@ArminHirmer]

Yeah does not get any better. Clavicle grew badly after it broke. Now every compression is not nice :)

[@nicholasmatuza728]

A labor of love.

[@digitalaman2551]

I want to purchase this please help me

[@srinjoyroychoudhury7034]

Hi Armin. Just wanted to inform you that Imre Nagy has a new long draw monster, called the Sarmata bow. Would really love to see a review of that. Maybe for the patreon supporters?

[@ArminHirmer]

thanks for letting me know

[@karlsjostedt8415]

Interesting video. Modern materials might be a good thing in some ways...

[@bloodndestroy]

I've been shooting my first horse bow for a while now, and the fletching keeps slapping the webbing between my index finger and thumb on my bow hand when I release. Any technical remedy to that, or do I just suck?

[@ziranwolf2696]

Just nock up a little bit and that should solve the issue. Cheers

[@sigmanarchery54]

I think I would rather have a bio composite bow and not have to go through all those issues I would rather shoot then have to straighten my bow out. 👍🏼🏹🇺🇸

[@ArminHirmer]

Me too

[@tiahansere53]

Would heavier arrows prevent warping to some degree?

[@ArminHirmer]

I dont think so

[@isis8618]

Those Mongolian horse archers were ALL highly trained since birth and only the fittest and best survived to fight as an adult ... and there were lots of them !

[@Daylon91]

This is a mughal bow of INDIA! Not Mongolia

[@isis8618]

@@Daylon91 but that's where the bows came from ! It's an Indian derivation of the Mongolian warriors who took over and ruled northen India

[@abisalpha]

All Mongol & Tatar troops under ghenghis khan were skilled horse archers by Default, But they could full fill multiple rolls on the battlefield like charging with lances, parrying on horseback, fighting on foot, shooting arrows on foot / the Heavy cavalry also had bows and arrows and shot them when they were not charging // so when they faced other more traditional imperial armies, they always outnumbered them with skilled range troops Because those imperial armies only partially had range troops while the Entire Mongol army consisted of mounted multi purpose archers with plenty of quivers and top notch spare bows

[@SB-qm5wg]

very nice

[@himanshuwilhelm5534]

I prefer when the bow flexes more evenly along the limbs. These carebows look like most of the bending happens in a two inch section in the middle of each limb. This one is bigger, so it doesn't look as precarious as the other 2 carebows you reviewed in the last few weeks

[@davidlargen6945]

I would think for the price,perfection would be a must. All the straightening is a waste of time

[@marcelllovas1465]

the bow looks pretty unstable, idk if it was like that originally when they used it as for warfare and hunting also. I would put 1 more layer of sinew definitely, heck, even 1layer to the kasan sides, so it would not twisting and crooking so easily.

[@Daylon91]

Some composite bows hardly need any tweaking during shooting otherwise they wouldn't have been used in war. Can't pause a battle to fix your bow

[@marcelllovas1465]

@@Daylon91 yeah, my hungarian hownbow need minimal maintance if the weather is not too humid for example.

[@ziranwolf2696]

Looks like too much work for me my friend, I’ll stick to my user friendly Grozer biocomposite. The war might be over before that bow is ready to go. Is it true that over TIME, the bow will be trained and the twisties and warps that you’re working so hard to correct will be minimized or even no longer an issue? Thanks for another great review.

[@ArminHirmer]

I think so yes

[@MarcassCarcass]

How's the biocomposite different? The term seems to mean the same.

Cherry picking history mongols never got into western europe where armour was better than slavic countries

[@Alejandro-te2nt]

@@chroma6947not true first of all mongols encountered heavily armored troops regularly and incorporated them into their hordes. Heavy cavalry began in central Asia with Persian cataphracts and this was improved by Sarmatians, Avars, Bulgars, not to mention the Mongols did fight against Frankish and Germanic crusaders.

[@Alejandro-te2nt]

@@Daylon91mughal literally means Mongol. They were Turco-mongol conquerors of India.

[@Alejandro-te2nt]

"Highly trained" = only know how to charge with lances and smash into enemy troops hoping that will win you the battle. That is if they let you smash into them which the mongols didn't because their lighter armor and sturdy ponies were much faster and they could put many arrows through the gaps in a Knight's armor without the Knight's ever even coming within a stone's throw of them.
