Another great review as always. Nice beginners bow! Not to expensive. Thank you Armin and also you Thomas for letting us all have a chance to see what you can get from AF Archery. Shoot well and have fun!

[@jonoedwards4195]

AF Archery make some good premium stuff too. Ahaha, I imagine Tom watching His new Bow hitting 34! Great review Armi.

Good to see reviews this way.

[@alexandrericartes8382]

The item cant be send to Brazil! It is sad. Practise archery here sometimes is very difficult. Great video!!

[@janedagger]

For the price its a steal. Nice. Thanks Armin

[@blairhayden8955]

It is funny, my Turkish bow from TopArchery confused me as to which was the top, the pictures never did help, never did figure it out, I measured and everything it is the same from end to end. The bow works fine so I assume I picked the right end. Great video sir.

[@Archerstidbits]

Very Nice review and a nice concept also! Would you do this again, Armin? Someone orders a bow you have not reviewed yet, let's it get delivered to you, you review it and then send it on?

[@ArminHirmer]

Of course I will do that again, did it a few times already. Allowed me to test more bows :)

[@Stephanthesearcher]

lightweight carbons 32inch draw and it would be decent fast even at that low poundage i think that bow with 35 @ 28" would be a exelent setup

[@AllThings357]

What do you use for your backstops and bag targets in your shop?

[@ConradKnives]

Seems like a good bow for the price. Strange that tze fitting arrows are only 30'' not 34'' . It would be interesting to see how the laminated version holds up .

[@ArminHirmer]

I did a review on the laminated one a while ago, was great

[@ArminHirmer]

the owner just starts this kind of archery, he will get longer arrows, once he is used to longer draw

[@ConradKnives]

@@ArminHirmer Makes sense and wow did I miss one of your reviews or maybe I just forgot about it🤔. Well I Just have to watch it again. Thank you for all the great reviews.

[@tammynfletcher]

I don't remember the laminated version either and I know Ive never missed a review. Alibow had a laminated under the same name if I remember correctly.

[@vaportrail226]

Oh, the dear people at Malta customs! Nice bow at a great price.

[@gizmonomono]

Speaking of string bridges, how do you stop the serving on the string from separating on them? The bridges are very smooth on my bow, but still the serving gets a bit separated.

[@ArminHirmer]

Never had a problem

[@gizmonomono]

@@ArminHirmer I see. Could it be that I draw too much then? I have searched a lot to find an answer to this, but I can't find it. I shoot a lot, so maybe this could be a problem as well. I don't want to bother you much, but if anyone else in the comment section has this problem, I would appreciate an answer. Thanks.

[@tjj4lab]

I’ve fancied trying a Manchu bow, and this looks like a nice starter point to see if I like the longer draws. My problem is arrows. I always by cheap-ish arrows, but they always come at 31”. Is there a cheap supplier of 33-34” arrows? My European draw is only 27” so I probably not reach the full 34”.

[@dragoscoco2173]

DIY is always cheap.

[@tjj4lab]

Dragos Coco not here, to buy the materials here and make them myself actually costs more than I buy ready made arrows from China.

[@dragoscoco2173]

@@tjj4lab A 1m long dowel rod of 8mm is under 1 dollar, picked for straight grain from any local hardware store. A chinesium grade "Stud Screw Dowel Screw Expansion Anchor Bolt Wedge Anchor Bolt" 8mm for a arrow head works nice and it is way under 1 dollar. Fletchings are easy to make but not a fortune to buy, and replacing them is necessary anyways. Super glue, 4 dollars will hold you for 200 arrows or more. I just use Super glue to reinforce the wooden nock and rarely to put on fletchings. Also you can experience the fun of making stuff which is a plus. I tested my last 8 arrows for spine (bending by a given weight) and they were very close to each other (+-5%), no ideea what spine they are though. Weight is also very consistent around 510 grains and center off mass is consistent.

[@tjj4lab]

Dragos Coco my nearest town has high street cancer (ie it’s only full of coffee shops and charity shops), there isn’t anywhere near here to buy such things. So it’s a long car journey to anywhere that might sell the materials. Even if I can source all the materials easily, the arrows I buy normally are anywhere between £1.50 to £2.50 each delivered. It’s literally impossible to make them for cheaper.

[@theatrenisha9345]

Loved the review

[@david2012slayer]

3:23 can some one explain me what is the F-value 0.58 that he refer to?

[@ArminHirmer]

max draw in relation to the length of the bow from nock to nock

[@david2012slayer]

@@ArminHirmer ok, but in practice, what does that concept represent? Is there like a range of f-values in which the curvature of the bow is considered optimal, and I imagine, that maybe values outside that range mean that the bow is more likely to break?

[@timwolford4802]

hello Tim here I wish I had found your sight before I bought this e5e10 Black Sheepskin Archery Recurve Bow Longbow Horsebow at 55lbs can you recommend arrows for this bow it is 58 inch 28 inch draw let me know thanks.
