Don't buy one :) foldable, survival, hunting Bow from China - Halloween Review

[@dileb112]

Dear Armin, it is such a kind act from you sacrificing some of your time for reviewing even bows like this one (that you probably know it's crap from the moment you see it, or string it), so we know from the start what to avoid!

[@dasMoto]

Right day for this... Scary...

[@orphanpixels]

You're more likely to take damage from this review than being hit by an arrow shot from the bow.

[@kennethpettersson7807]

I agree, how can anyone order rubbish from China autumn 2021.

[@agamagreen]

The whole time I thought, that the limbs fixing will break or the string rip’s off, but nothing happened! 😜 It’s only crap! Phew… I was scared for no reason 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for the review, Armin! 😁👍

[@jenjen7728]

Lol so was I. Expected the string to break and smack Armin in the face any moment. What garbage.

[@notapplicable531]

Give it time and what you fear will happen.

[@jenjen7728]

@@notapplicable531 this is true.

[@desertrainfrog1691]

It makes the same sound as my 5-10 pound elastic stretch band for warmups. They claim low vibration? Not enough power in those limbs to cause high vibration.

[@ArminHirmer]

no life in it at all, so where shall be vibration hahaha

[@x3roxide]

The pocket shot would make a better "survival" weapon 🤣 Using plastic fletching on a bow without a centershot and elevated rest, I'm surprised it didn't kick more, but I'm guessing that's due to Armin's skill.

[@himanshuwilhelm5534]

Take 2 similar sticks Point them in opposite directions. Lash them together. Bow.

[@fintonmainz7845]

A 40 pound bow which requires only 17 pounds to draw is genius technology.

[@dasMoto]

This shouldn't even allowed to be called a "Bow". The maximum I allow the thing to be called is a "Bend"...

[@Daylon91]

Hahah hilarious but true. A "bend" lmfao

[@dasMoto]

@@Daylon91 thanks 🙏

[@benpriestman4015]

I love this bow on paper such a cool idea but sadly they gone with a design and materials that make it more of a non functional gimmick.

[@SwissFiveNine]

This design hurts the eyes, but archery is such an aesthetic thing. Dreadful. Nevertheless, thanks for this review too. Autumnal greetings.

[@BLACKXARCHERY]

This man played the guitar 🎸with it. 😆 love this video and thank u 🙏 so much sir. I herd of people wanting this for the trunk of their car.

[@Daylon91]

I'd mistake it for my car jack lmao

[@blindarchershaunhenderson3769]

Maybe the Chinese have their own metric measuring system which is why none of the measurements matched what you saw

[@77steve94]

I've always been leary of bows like this, although I've definitely been tempted a few times. Thanks for the demo!

[@timothym9398]

It's sad, because with just a few design changes you could easily make something that at least functions. Not that hard to make a spliced takedown with a swivel hinge on two cheap modern recurve limbs. Hell just make a folding and locking version of the many traditional styled takedown bows.

[@chroma6947]

You would like to think people who need a bow for survival would also have space for a tiny allen key ;)

[@fritzkrakaz]

I think its more accurate and travel further by simply throwing the bow at the target......

[@nucpr]

Assembly error. Those were not arrows that came with it they are parts of the limb. You insert 4 into each end of the central piece and latch the end into the sharp area where you looped the string. That brings the poundage up to 40 and also protects the string from the sharp edges. Also those were not targets they were limb wraps to bind all the limb pieces together. Of course you will get bad results from not assembling it and then launching the limb pieces like arrows!

[@ArminHirmer]

Hahaha will try

[@astrobalkan6908]

Are you sure about that or it's a joke?

[@-fazik-3713]

It is a trap for hunting "survivalists" :P.

[@carlosspeicywiener7018]

Thanks for another great video. Happy Halloween everyone

[@miguelveratraditionalarche9374]

I never hit a thumb down button but the work of review the crazy bow is well done. 😅 Hey Armin 👊😉

[@jimjansson8880]

So damn funny😂 You cant even knock out an pigeon with this😅

[@strydyrhellzrydyr1345]

Wow .. never tried shooting arrows.. with a piece of square tube... Lmao

[@samsunggalaxytaba3858]

I would rather use my guitar as a survival bow...

[@gambit8766]

so basically my 7-year-old daughter's bow is heavier than this bow. 😂

[@DANTHETUBEMAN]

The bow that every other bow is judged against, if you want to make every other bow look 👍 GREAT!

[@michaellarocca4879]

Im an absolute amateur, and i can see that thing wasnt tillering anything close to even.

[@MountainHomeJerrel]

Thanks for the review!

[@anilarolkar744]

Sit please make a video on how much you can do fast arrow firing in Geologic discovery 100

[@VladMcMerlin]

Maybe it should be strung from the other side?

[@allluri]

Throwing stones seems more effective than whatever this is :D

[@Leverguns50]

That was a piece of junk, whoever put all that work in the building a piece of junk was an idiot

[@tiobi6633]

I usually check out any new videos and I also check back to some older videos from time to time, just because they're fun and entertaining - when we have bad weather and can't go out shooting, etc. The same was with this one, already saw it, but MAN I didn't see that pigeon before @ 8:17 lol

[@petitpanierdosier3206]

Quite a nice shooting this one is

[@arthurrobey7177]

At last! A bow that we don't like.

[@DubstepQuickScope]

​ @Armin Hirmer I have been shooting on and off for a couple of years. Recently everyday and have gotten very accurate at 30 yards. I have astigmatism In my right eye and I am right handed. I cannot aim with my right eye as my left eye is dominant. Do you suggest I continue shooting right handed with instinctual aiming or should I do the hard thing and switch to a left handed bow?

[@ArminHirmer]

Eye domination does not matter that much when you shoot what is generally called instinctively:) in this way you have both eyes open and on the target, not aiming over arrow or anything else

[@DubstepQuickScope]

@@ArminHirmer Thank you for your reply! I have been learning so much from you and incorporating it into my training. I love when people have a passion for what they do. Do you have a bow you would reccomend for a person who is 6' 4" with a 33" draw length (to outside of lip)? I use a Sage takendown recurve 45lb @ 28" I used to shake while holding it (because of the stacking) Now I can hold it back 33" which is around 56lbs for a very long time.

[@sumanngon]

Looks like the bow came out of tool box! :-)

[@mastermartialarcher6475]

I’m so jealous of you. I will never be the archer you are or the man you are.

[@borumfishing]

9:23 hahaha brilliant 😄

[@survivalarcherysystems]

Hi Armin. Would you like to test one of ours? We have a few we can send you. Made in the USA.

[@ArminHirmer]

Oh boy... What's this... Lol... This wouldn't even show up in my recommended... Lol.. it was hiding from me.. lol

[@chrisabraham8793]

Looking at your endless list of bow reviews , i was wondering if you done a review of the Thorn 48" takedown bow from Mandarin duck, similar bows on ebay

[@ArminHirmer]

Nope

[@oakwood9557]

Armin, can you do the review for the Chinese traditional horsebow/recurve bow. The one from Toparchery/Huntingdoor, cuz the one i bought was so bad! When i was stringing it, it started to crack. Now i know it was a terrible decision for me to buy a cheap chinese bow but I wanted to see a review from you if that's alright. Thanks in advance, Armin!

[@ArminHirmer]

I did twice. One broke at the end of my review, the other after 500 shots

[@oakwood9557]

@@ArminHirmer oh i probably didn't noticed it. Thank you

[@jenjen7728]

Maybe it's not meant for shooting but you beat who/whatever to death with it.

[@audhildbenjaminsen665]

Well,add some fiber glass on the wings and you actually got a survival bue.

[@permadynamicsnewzealand2698]

Sure you didn't buy an umbrella?

[@tiobi6633]

:D Nice review. You came here for 13:50, sums it up :D

[@curiousfurious5877]

Looks more like a saw. Maybe there are fitting blades available...

[@darrensimms5605]

That’s big brace hight aye armin

[@_SkyEye]

Armin, you need your citronella bracelet

[@rorybybee5937]

That bow having nearly half the advertised draw weight was a rip off. The knocks at the limb tips should not have had sharp edges. It looked like a poorly made bow. It was also loud when shot.

[@guadalupeskitchen3734]

Are you a mad scientist?

[@fancymcclean6210]

Could use it to hunt those pesky mossies. The arrows supplied are too heavy for that 'bow' and the brace height too high. Also it has got to be the ugliest bow ever to grace your range. There are so many better options for a survival bow. As you say, a reflexed PVC bow would be a better (and cheaper) option. You can get a US bow that looks similar (I think it is called the SAS bow). The build will be of much higher quality and it might have some utility in a survival situation. Personally, I would prefer using one of Dave Mead's bamboo bows. Flaxen Saxon.

[@kublaicarl4818]

That Bow is sooooo ugly it would make an Onion cry!

[@2DGraphicDesign]

Armin Yep! It appears you were sent the specs for a different bow to the one you received. It's not even possible to say it looks good. Sounds Good??? I wonder if the Bow you received the specs for would have been any better? That said folding Bows do seem to have a number of enthusiasts. Each to their own. It's another branch of the Archery tree, I guess

[@MichaeI48]

I wish there were good foldable bows.

[@lobohambrientomedia]

THE MOST EXPENSIVE "ARROW SET" YOU BOUGHT!!! 😅😅😅

[@andythebreadbaker9925]

I'll take the bow if you still have it

does that include survival archery systems bows?

it only includes this bow

@@ArminHirmer I own The Sas Ranger it like the bow in your video but it has a shelf would that be work with slavic released or do I just stick to the bows without arrow shelf/rest?.

[@ArminHirmer]

@@fbibking3205 I dont know how wide the arrow pass is of the bow, but as long as it is decent, it should work. sure not the best solution overall as a round shape arrow pass would be more beneficial

[@VladMcMerlin]

I think the description is from another bow.

[@ArminHirmer]

nope they even wrote to me now again that they sent the 40# bow :D :D

[@NEMTOMZkr]

I think it’s better to fold it up and beat to death the thing you wanna hunt down with it instead of shooting with it! 😆

[@securemindsetofficial]

This is knockoff from the SaS survival bow that other reviewers say it shoots well.... I'm curious how you would rate the real Sas survival bow

[@ArminHirmer]

Soon I will have the original here

[@hibahprice6887]

If you choose the worst consumer bow, then of course you can easily say that all the bows from China are bad, so buy only OUR bows)) In fact, there are a lot of excellent bows, for example, the company "junxing" can make a short bow from the shoulders of this company by pulling force 90 kilograms, and a huge flight speed, and all this for a couple of dozen bucks. Yes, yes, the $ 50 bow is better than many custom bows from the $ 500+ crafters.

[@greyareaRK1]

It looks like a repurposed bust improver.

[@jenjen7728]

LMFAO!!!😂😂

[@licaso6784]

50# in this bow almost like 30# other barebow

[@drmanleyk]

This is, by far, your most negative review to date. And I appreciate it! This now looks terrible.

[@AlfaRevoluzione]

Never ever

[@gizmonomono]

I ordered those exact arrows for my Snake bow. They are also horrible. Worst arrows I ever had. The nocks all broke when I shot them from a 18 pound bow 😂 As for the bow, those string nocks give me anxiety. And it's just classic ebay bullshit, with all the wrong measurements. Just a disgrace 😂

[@electrizofficial6965]

When I was kid i always wnted to had thats bow.... Reality of action by reviewer made trash to me ..... the design of the bow similar to hawkeye avengers bow 🤣

[@ZephrusPrime]

Makes no sense especially when an ILF has so many portable options that are actually something you can hunt and or survive with. I'll take my Hoyt Buffalo or Satori and they fit in a small portable carry case too easy!

@Jason Dilworth What didn't you like about it?

[@ArminHirmer]

if they send me one... I will not spend one cent more into this :D

[@societyofrobots]

@Jason Dilworth I already have a great 55 lb horse bow. I'm specifically looking for an ultra portable bug out bow that can shoot using the same techniques, just concerned that khatra would be difficult with that square handle.

[@societyofrobots]

@Jason Dilworth At any high poundage, they cost over $400. Out of my budget range... Otherwise I would.

[@x3roxide]

just get a budget take-down bow with matching arrows and it will be infinitely better (and cheaper) than this or any other "survival" package.
