Sure it's nice !! You're absolutly right : the archer is the lonely responsable, not the bow Cheers from France 🇨🇵

[@chadkampster7425]

Its 11:40pm and I'm watching this great video. Thanks Peter, from America .

[@peterjuulsgaard]

Your welcome!

[@borismilosevic3186]

A window of this size is quite sufficient for hunting. The bow is made for hunting and not for long-range shooting. It's more a matter of habit than a problem, maybe over time you find an advantage in that or meybe not... But I 100% agree with you that it's always up to the archer. Greeting Peter, great channel.

[@peterjuulsgaard]

Thank you sir!

[@timsarcheryinstinctsplus3869]

Wow! So stacking will not be a problem.Nice bow Peter.

[@peterjuulsgaard]

Thanks! No there is no stacking at all.

[@garrettevans8863]

Awesome video! I’ve been really looking forward to a review on this bow. Thanks a ton! Keep at it, the archery community really enjoys your videos.

[@peterjuulsgaard]

Your welcome!

[@mikekupetsky6879]

The sight window is as short as it is because the Riser is short and it needs strength. If you want a bigger psych when do you need a longer bow

[@robertjohntaylor2369]

I liked your ash selfbow.Such a great feeling taking game with your own creation!

[@peterjuulsgaard]

I still like that my self👌

[@thorstenfleck-baustian8775]

Great review Peter, it’s no secret I’m a fan of Borders curves.

[@uncleremus5046]

#1 Pete with your form you could shoot a stick with fishing line. #2 Completely agree on the advantage of big hooks in a treestand very easy to move around. #3 The biggest advantage of the big hooks is the ability too shoot lower poundage while not giving up any performance or actually gaining some over older designs. #4 Like you I like a Large sight window. Personally it helps me set my aim easier but that’s just preference. Great honest review. #5 How about a video of you cooking those beautiful pheasants?

[@peterjuulsgaard]

Thanks! I actually got a pheasant cooking video in stored for later👍

[@dogboy1593]

Nice video Peter. I shoot a Border Covert Hunter. That draw cycle takes a bit of getting used to. At first I found the early load up hard to deal with but I am used to it now. Conventional bows feel very odd after shooting a Border for a year or so! Thanks for the review the Moss Trooper looks like a nice bow.

[@peterjuulsgaard]

Thanks for watching!

[@Guidl_Stringwistler]

Hey Peter. Nice idea. The window is so small for stability reasons. If the bow maker had cut it out further, the stability would have become extremely dangerous. If you shoot the bow traditionally instinctively, you can tilt it and easily pass the window with your view... 😂

[@peterjuulsgaard]

Yeah yeah, but you always have to give a little critique

[@paulkrenn8215]

Like I know, Sid will make your sight window like you want!!!

[@peterjuulsgaard]

Yes I know👍 but I am actually getting more and more used to it now🙈

[@paulkrenn8215]

Peter Juulsgaard I‘m using an old Ultra. It has the same sight. But I‘m holding the bow more right so I get better look to games!

[@johndaileytraditionalarcher]

That's a great review on the Border Bow thanks for sharing

[@peterjuulsgaard]

Your welcome!

[@gordonallison1055]

great review Peter. I agree with all you say as I have a mosstrooper and love it. But not necessarily more than other bows I have (they get jealous if I have a favourite 😊). I think the covert hunter at the same poundage has the edge on energy delivered, although my CH is a few years old now. I don't find the moss trooper sight window an issue but I think we all sight shots a little differently. I am pretty sure I am very binocular when sighting. I find the mosstrooper forgoving, light and short, but like the CH its not quiet, there has to be a price for those curves. Rhydragon shows a video on youtube showing the CH in slo mo after the shot. I vibrates vertically like a compound, hence no hand shock but there is some noise. If I had to name my biggest plus for the MT its the draw curve. Its so silky at the back end and I pull 31 1/2". I love mine.

[@peterjuulsgaard]

Thanks! Mine does not make more noise than my other bows! But there is som “resonanse”! “Low noise” vibrations in the bow when shot! It can not be heard 1 meter away, it can be felt shooting it.

[@everlast2658]

Border bows ,the Holland and Holland of the bow world fantastic craftsmanship and always striving to improve. 're sight window the sids. will build a bow with your specification.was the bow made for you?

[@peterjuulsgaard]

This bow wasen’t made for me. I got it third hand

[@greysigma]

Peter, btw . Guys from Border can make bigger sight window if you want . That is not problem at all

[@peterjuulsgaard]

Thanks! Maybe I’ll make them do that some day👍

[@greysigma]

Sid just told me to write you message. When situations with virus stops .....just send bow

[@peterjuulsgaard]

Milan Knezevic Thanks bro! I’ll look into it, then

[@jerrycox2058]

most of the time, it is our form or lack of consistent form that makes it harder for us to shoot some bows. we can sometimes get away with some things with some bows but then it becomes a real problem with other bows. as for me, if I didn't have too much money in the bow, I would make the sight window bigger myself. not making it deeper on the cut to center but just extending the sight window upwards. I too hate a small sight window. I now shoot a 62" longbow to be able to shoot one easier out of a tree.

[@peterjuulsgaard]

Your right about that! Thanks for watching

[@Guidl_Stringwistler]

Also, it is not AMO 60" long, but 61.5"...😊 AMO always says first the string length, then +3" the bow length. And not the other way around. I have already made flemisch strings for the bow that are 147cm long. 😌147cm are unfortunately 61.5".😅

[@peterjuulsgaard]

It doesent say on the bow! But I assumed, since a string for a 60” bow was fitting the bow. I dont have it anymore anyway😃

[@PaulGramola]

Hi Peter have you try the Covert hunter ? If yes what do you think about it?

[@peterjuulsgaard]

I have tryed it once I was in Norway visiting a buddy. But not many shots. The Covert Hunter is a high quality bow and very fast.

[@rafaljarosz7094]

Hi Peter, I remember that in one of your recent videos you mentioned a problem with Border bow. If I'm not mistaken- it was something about laminate feeling apart- am I correct? If yes could you please remind me which video it was? Someone has a similar problem with ''borders'' and I understand they are denying fault - so I would like to forward it to him. Many thanks.

[@peterjuulsgaard]

Well, I’ve never made a video about the fault in the Border Mosstrooper, but I have probably talked about it in the comments. And that’s correct that the upper limb was delaminating one day I was drawing back. The bow was 2 years old at the time (build in 2018) they claimed it was out of warrenty because I wasen’t the original owner. They also claimed that the 14 strand string I was using was wrong for the pounds, they said I should have used a 16 strand string. But the string I was using was the string the bow came with. However! They offered 20% discount if I bought another new one. I told them no thanks, and bought the Morrison Max 6 from USA instead. Never had a problem.

[@rafaljarosz7094]

@@peterjuulsgaard Thank you very much Peter. Yes, It could be in some comment section, I wasn't sure and can not find it. In my opinion it is a good choice that you haven't returned to them and chosen another company. That person I mentioned. is an owner of an archery shooting business in Glasgow and yet, I understood they are suggesting it was his fault due to incorrect storage of something like this. That in my opinion is a bizarre explanation, as the splinters can't be related to the storage. I understood the bow is on warranty, and - believe me or not- they suggested using a superglue to fix it :). I will email the link to that gentleman. Kind regards

[@peterjuulsgaard]

@@rafaljarosz7094 to compare you can take the Bodnik Mohawk with 30 years warrenty 😲 It can’t be right that a “high end” bow like a Border is so sensitive, that you need to change the string, just because you forexamble are pulling one inch longer. And we are not talking 31” or anything. My Border was marked 49 pounds at 26” and I was drawing it 27” so I’ve probably have had 50-51 pounds on the fingers. But the string needed to have more strands to do that🤷‍♂️. On a Bodnik Mohawk, there is no minimum strand numbers, nor any minimum arrow weight, and there is still 30 years warrenty. Yeah I know the Border is a Super Recurve and the Mohawk is not, but when I bought the Morrison Super Recurve I asked: how many strands are required for my 50 pounds? Morrison said 12 strands are fine. I do use a 16 strands string, tho. Just to be sure.

[@rafaljarosz7094]

@@peterjuulsgaard Agree. I know Bodnik very well. My wife shoots Mohawk and love it. It will be also my choice when I will finally decide to say goodbye to my lovely sentimental 3rd Ligue Ragim Impala that I shoot already for many years :) .

[@greysigma]

How much strands do you have in that string ?

[@peterjuulsgaard]

Really dont know! It´s a Border string and it was on it, when I got it

[@jozsefburka6480]

Hi Peter, I seen many of your videos and I like them. I see you have something on your bow strings ends. I would like to ask what are those? Are those silencers? If they are how did you made them and from what material? thanks for your help! Josef

[@peterjuulsgaard]

These are string “slap” silencers . Actually it’s wool yarn wrapped around in two layers, to prevent string slap on recurves. Thanks for watching

[@jozsefburka6480]

Thank you for your answear. What is your experiance whit them? Does your shots become more quiet with them?

[@peterjuulsgaard]

józsef burka on some bows it works better than others! On the Border it have an effect.

Me too!

[@shawndean8358]

To radical in the curve, talk about twisted limbs I can see a huge problem there. I've shot traditional for 30 yrs and went Rd longbow over 20 yrs ago because of limb twist in a recurve and wouldn't go back . Thay are as fast as most recurve and game can't tell the difference. But it is a good looking bow I like the riser material contrast.

[@thorstenfleck-baustian8775]

Shawn Dean, I see where you come from with your worries, but torsional stability in the Border super curves is amazing.

[@peterjuulsgaard]

Some like em, some don’t. I like my other bows just as much. Thanks for watching
