El Dorado, ambidextrous reflex-reflex Bow by Great Plains - What a Bow!

[@greatplainsbow]

Wow! What a review! Thanks Armin! We sent it to the right guy. If we could review bows like that we may have close to a 100k subs also 😁

[@knifesharpeningnorway]

Been following his channel a good time great guy.

[@ArminHirmer]

Thank you

[@santosknives6278]

This man is amazing, def good choice!

[@ARTCHILD]

I own a Great Plains, Bow and I must say it is absolutely AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL, FAST…I just Love it!!

[@bryanr.4947]

Now that's what I'm talking about. Great bow, Playmate of the Year.

[@hr8479]

When I watch your videos, I don't feel like I am being taught, but always, at the end of the video, I know more than I did at the start. That is the hallmark of a great teacher. Thank you.

[@ArminHirmer]

wow, thank you for that!

[@ambidextrousarchery]

Oh my gosh and holy moly 🤩. Are you serious!?! Two-piece, ambidextrous longbow! Jeez Louise.

[@Daylon91]

Yea, once I saw them show their model, I told them to show Armin. He is also testing out their Howard Hill bow which they claim is one of the fastest if not the fastest Hill style bow

[@ambidextrousarchery]

@@Daylon91This remains my holy grail of bows-a cheat code ambidextrous shooter. I rewatch this video every once in a while. Someday.

[@DM-sq3jm]

I just started the video and stopped to give a like when the disclaimer popped up! Always appreciate your sense of humor.

[@johnwaight8967]

Great Plains make the best bows, Top Shelf workmanship!!!

[@randomcdude4430]

The care these guys put into their craft is amazing. Their channel is also worth checking out. Last I saw they were improving a Black Hunter longbow just for the challenge of it. This bow was developed for a couple one of whom was right handed and the other left handed that wanted to only use a single bow for the two of them. This was the result. Pricey but it is hand made by careful craftsmen/artisans to order vs mass production, so I guess I can understand (like my opinion about it really matters 🙃). It is a lifetime purchase. Armin is a lucky guy to get it gratis.

[@gizmonomono]

That's a clever bow. Nice to see that it shoots well also.

[@sinisastojkovic2430]

Wooow! Jetzt wird es emotional! Mein Eldorado ist zwar eintellig Aber, ich kann alles was Meister Armin hier vorgetragen hat zur 100% Bestätigen. Und er ist das beste Was man von Übersee bekommen kann. Alle Turniere gewannen ich mit diesem Bogen und es gibt kein Silber darunter. Das was in diesem perfektem wideo gezeigt wurde Ist gerade für uns schützen die Hill steile und Reiterbogen (Armin stile) liben die erste Wal. Danke Armin! Die Wal

[@thebrunner8013]

Großartiges Review Armin. Kann es nicht erwarten, bis der Bogen verfügbar ist. Viele Grüße!

[@sierraridgereaper]

Awesome bow and Shane does some beautiful work. That is quite the concept and being a takedown makes it a "best of both worlds" bow...👍

[@kan-zee]

24:18 ... LOL...you have no enemy than me...its okay..LOL love that attitude. 🥰

[@tomburrows3608]

I recently bought a Great Plains R&D and I plan on getting more of them.

[@ColetteNoir]

What a lovely clever bow! I love its profile

[@harlinwall9367]

Very cool design!!! And a sweet performer!!! I have seen several bows designs that utilize the dual string nocks...however, those were to give the archer two different draw weights. The dual string nocks on this bow function with a different goal in mind, I guess. Innovative and impressive!!! Thanks for a nice review!!!

[@bigernbladesmith]

What a nifty bow! Armin, you sure have a pretty place to shoot at.

[@cmcc1442]

I just ordered the one they had in-stock. Of course I'm not in the YT reviews business, and I don't have your experience, but it will definitely show up on my meager channel, without comment, for what it's worth. 👍

[@bubuoha]

Armin, that is another great review from you! And that bow is pretty cool too! What arrows are you using it with?

[@ArminHirmer]

aluminium arrows I got from Fairbowusa

[@nniiccoo190488]

So quiet! Love it

[@Memorixt]

Great review as always, and made me discover a new bow and -maker. ...But I was missing the scoring at the end...

[@CoachBjarne]

This looks like a perfect bow for Braveheart archery range! I will need to keep my eyes out for one of these!!

[@UTxTheArchangel]

Looks like a bow many talents. Takdown and ambidextrous. Cool looking bow, great video as always.

[@knifesharpeningnorway]

I have a great plains model b recurve and a sr swift recurve on order they are incrediblely well built and quality 😊

[@hardrocker1911]

This string produces a G. I have just visited their site, very beautiful bows, like furniture

[@여단-i8e]

How clever design!! I think you don't want to take that bow off your hands😂

[@danielruprecht8932]

The price is a little steep. Do they offer a one piece? Love the concept.

[@porkrind225]

Gorgeous bow and looks like it shoots wonderfully. Off topic: what is the style of shirt you're wearing? It looks very comfortable

[@duroarcher6544]

how did they tiller that bow???

[@rudraveda]

The bow looks absolutely beautiful. Can this bow be given to beginners also?

[@brynion2117]

any bow can be given to beginners, if you are willing to give beginners a bow that expensive

[@Daylon91]

Awesome review man. It does sound nice and seems to perform better with heavier arrows as more longer bows do. Cheers 🍻

[@edgarmartinez2983]

I don't know who originally came up with this design, but the first time I ever saw one of these bows was from Chad Holm, a great Bowyer from Minnesota (USA). He unfortunately passed away a few years ago.

[@MarshallStrider]

I own several GP bows, they are the best (so far) I had in my hands. I recently had another longbow from another company for testing, I don't want to talk badly about them, but it was no way near of the quality compared to GP. The idea of this bow is nice, but I don't see much use of it in practical. 68" should be fine for 32" to 33" draw length. Minimum arrow weight sth. like 300-350gn what I have in mind. You should test some Arni (CZ) longbows, never had them, a lot of archers from Austria love and trust them.

[@laurentmeiller5171]

Toelke, Great Plians, american high quality bows with take down possibility i think over 500-600 € there is no bad bow, you just need to be at the the top to deserve it and to be able to use it at 100%

[@davidsalman8362]

Armin PLEASE! What's the price for the previous WolfGang Take-Down Turkish Bow! Please Armin Ustath! 😭

[@fabianastor5297]

if i recall correctly that was still a prototype.

[@davidsalman8362]

@@fabianastor5297 He makes around 3 a year, but for how much is it sold? 😞

[@ArminHirmer]

Each bow is still a prototype and he does not have any right now

[@nabeelkhan6990]

What type of thumb guard is that you are using?

[@sufuhashim2092]

hi what are some of the differences between recurve and this bow?

[@ArminHirmer]

Desing, length, performance

[@markwallace1251]

I get the design, I think it's wonderful. Can someone please explain to me however why I would want to flip the bow to shoot the other hand in the first place? What is actually wrong with a longbow with no shelf shooting right or left-handed? There is only a tiller issue if you flip the boat correct? So just don't flip the bow build the grip with a shelf on both sides? Someone please set me straight.

[@elobiretv]

Maybe if you wanted to switch between thumb draw and mediterranean. Seems pointless to me though

[@alananderson5202]

I’ve never had trouble shooting a bow with the arrow shelf off Center.

[@johncuthbertson2565]

As always 🙏 A premium bow is a work of art. When it feels right in the hand it's a joy and a soulful experience....ps I like to run my fingers over my Zhu Ran 2 . It's not weird at all 😏

[@N0rnagest]

The profile is almost 'Assyrian' when strung.... those ancients must have worked it out.

[@LongBowMan89]

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@jarmelbarnett6922]

Great concept. Nice looking bow, but too rich for my blood.

[@jimmyhor78]

Gosh you are really risking those arrows. 😓

[@ZephrusPrime]

I like the idea but making it a $1300 bow just makes it out priced and not worth the value.

[@knifesharpeningnorway]

Its worth it look as other custom bows. Its top quality that will last a life time

[@ArminHirmer]

Agree

[@knifesharpeningnorway]

@@brynion2117 well the whole point with a custom is its handmade. Great plains is exact that made just by hand by two people shane and nikolaus. You cant compare that to production bows with 100s of employes. How a bow shoot is just one aspect. The great plains bows has a feeling and soul in them you just dont get with main marked bows.

[@knifesharpeningnorway]

@@brynion2117 well i feel the difference so for me its worth it. Handmade supporting a small business vs a big company

[@knifesharpeningnorway]

@@brynion2117 well its not placebo. I feel its worth it since im supporting people in a small business vs a huge company.

[@space.youtube]

Knowing that Great Plains insist people use a bow stringer, your insistence in not using one actual caused me some annoyance this time. Especially after your "do as I say, and not as I do" warning to your audience to "always use a stringer". It came across as insincere if I'm being honest. Normally I don't think twice about your bow stringing method, but this time, given the beauty and creativity embodied in this bow, I thought/hoped you'd make an exception and respect the wishes of the bowyer. What can I say, watching you struggle to achieve enough bend in the limbs to string the bow triggered my anxiety that you'd inadvertently twist a limb and damage the bow. It was hard to watch.

[@markwallace1251]

I am calling this nonsense, somebody please prove me wrong.

[@skylark17]

rich boys toy

[@knifesharpeningnorway]

Far from toys. They are amazing quality and built durable and to last. Some of the best hunting bow you can find. I own a model b recurve and just ordered a sr swift recurve from them too. Both bows will last longer than i live.

[@skylark17]

[@knifesharpeningnorway]

@@skylark17 well i do. And trust me its a company you literally get your moneys worth. Check what other custom makers are pricing there bows at compared.

[@gamma_ray895]

Wow, in my opinion that's one ugly looking bow 😂 1300 USD for an ugly duck... But tastes are different.
