Janissary Turkish II Bow by Alibow in White! Review

[@zachhandziak]

My first Janissary delaminated after a few weeks, but Alibow replaced it right away no problems, great company!

[@UTxTheArchangel]

God Turkish bows are always just so nice to look at. Really need to get a laminated one. I have a fiberglass Turkish bow. Everything about the bow looks good, the white actually looks nice as plain as it seems. Great review as always.

[@kevinmaughan4290]

did you get a laminate one?

[@jenjen7728]

Ach! I knew it would look beautiful, now I want another in white. I need friends like you.😁 Enjoy that snow white beauty Armin!!

[@agamagreen]

Congratulations to your new bow! 😁👍 Much fun!

[@davidlargen6945]

Looks real nice in white. Love the speed

[@neimadperseus5892]

I have a red one 40#, and it is definitly my favorite bow for daily shooting...;)

[@miguelveratraditionalarche9374]

#45 but you shoot nice. I'm glad you liked. Looks very beautiful Turkish bow. Enjoy shooting Armin. 🤩👍

[@jareth7456]

Sweet little bow , I don't personally like to have deflex in my bows and I don't think it's at all necessary. She's not a speed monster but I like how it shoots what I would call a Sweet bow . I wouldn't kick her outa bed lol . Armin always knows how to bring out the character in these bows he's like the Bill Moyers of archery except he talks to bows instead of people. The dialog is always entertaining.

[@malachimatcho7583]

The Bill Moyers of archery!!! Awesome comparison man! 😁👍

[@Kenneth-tq8ph]

beautiful bow in white. Can you make split screen in slow motion so we can see it from the side😊

[@magicdaveable]

Pretty Bow. I would have to put some camo on it while deer hunting. Plenty fast enough.

[@harryhuang1439]

Ha, you are drifting to the left too. It must be the arrow spine. I put a couple pom-pom on the string to quite it down a bit.

[@Aerzon1v1]

Beautiful bow as always. I have a question that I've been curious to ask you since I found the channel. I've seen a lot of comments on Western focused archery forums that claim asiatic bows shot with thumb release aren't as accurate or can't be as accurate as modern recurve & Mediterranean style release. After shooting both for many years, what would you say? Would you shoot a better group at 30m with something like a Bearpaw Slickstick or any Asiatic bow of your choosing? Could be an interesting video.

[@ArminHirmer]

its a matter of good training as always. modern bows make it just a bit easier. But you know, sit one with a modern recurve on a horse and see how he is doing. these bows are made for different purpose

[@nthesinningfish1938]

How long does it usually take for alibow to ship an order? I ordered a fiberglass bow from them months ago and haven't heard anything

[@ArminHirmer]

always depends if they have it in stock or not. It can take a few months if not

[@urinurin7699]

Hello from Argentina, i always look your videos these bows are amazing unfortunately in Argentina is veeery difficult to get these tipe of bows i dont know if cry or something, amazing and honest reviews a hugh from Argentina

[@dasMoto]

Is "mpf" the new measurement for stiffness or for strength? 😉 The white... Yes there are some beautiful white bows, but it's hard to make it without make it look cheap. I think that's related to the mostly white limbs of the beginner bows... The sound of this bow to me is like stampling into construction wood. Me no like. But some will love it. I prefer a smooth "foomph" over a "TANG", but it's a matter of taste.

[@jake4194]

I think it's the sound of the hard ceramic or plastic plate in the arrow pass. I have an AF turkish bow that has one and it pretty much always has that sound.

[@alessandrovaselli3757]

Bella recensione come sempre, l’idea del grafico molto buona da fare anche nelle prossime recensioni……….👍

[@fbibking3205]

What kind of bow should I use for Slavic draw/release?

[@ArminHirmer]

Almost any bow you like, just make sure there is no arrow shelf on it

[@reinholdfischer956]

Servus Armin, gewohnt tolles Video von dir, einen Türkischen Bogen leg ich mir auch noch zu, mit den Qinghai von Ali Bow bin ich mehr als zufrieden, tolle Firma 👍 L.G. aus Bayern

[@ggnotgd]

Hi Armin. Hmm maybe this question is a bit out of topic😅... Do you still have the YMG with you? Or you already returned it to Freddie? And if the YMG is still with you, do you still use it frequently? How is the feel after quite long time using it? Still good as new? Tqvm sir 😊

[@ArminHirmer]

Still here, both :)

[@Imer2276]

Hello Armin, and thank you for your work, What is your glove and how dis you get it ? I am looking for a good thumb ring or glove since i started thumb release (thanks to you) but the two i found are not completely good for me. The horn one gives no sensation of the string, and the leather one moves to much… Any advice ? Thank you !

[@ArminHirmer]

this glove is from Freddie Archery Korea

[@FolkClouds]

Are people actually receiving these? Website says delivery could be delayed indefinitely.

[@baatarbeifong7869]

I don't know about the bow, but I had ordered a ring, arrows, and a quiver (with an additional ~$40 for tax and shipping) back in mid--September and the tracking number they gave me indicates that the item has still yet to even be shipped. They said that the ETA is 8--12 weeks; I don't know if they factored in the fact that I'm from the US which has a shortage of active truck drivers, but I'm not expecting anything until mid--December lol

[@ArminHirmer]

I received one, so I guess yes

[@nurfatrochman3726]

Sir difficult questions.. Which one faster vegh turkish vs alibow jannisari with same lbs?

[@ArminHirmer]

I guess similar and if then just a few fps

Can anyone suggest a short bow under 300$ or a video review?

What do you consider short?

Armin ! I wish you were here in U.S and I could ask you what bow to buy or you name it and I would buy it from you. No question asked. You review so many good bows but I still don’t know, which one is right for me. Thank you for your awesome contents

best of all, my own new version of Alibow Turkish is comming in a month! Oh I hate the wait

[@arthurrobey7177]

Unfortunate name, Janisariat. Ask Vlad the Impaler. Is there any way of measuring the stopping power? (How much energy is imparted to the target.)

[@jkre]

Arrow speed and weight is used to calculate the kinetic energy and momentum. Over all it doesn't matter what is used to get the arrow to speed, only thing that matters is its speed and weight in terms of the energies that hits the target. Arrows geometry and does it break or not also affects how much it penetrates, but that doesn't have effect on how much energy there is, just on how much of that energy in transfered to the target. Arrow is the most important thing in bows power, bow doesn't matter, it only job is to give speed to the arrow

[@0ooTheMAXXoo0]

Weight of arrow multiplied by speed measured. Heavier arrows will be more efficient but maybe most archers prefer higher arrow speed so it would be a lot of tests to make sense of each bow.

[@jkre]

Stopping power depends on the arrow head. If the head is just a point it can penetrate very deep, but won't have a lot of stopping power, cus it does minimal tissue damage. Wide broad head on the other hand causes more damage and thus has more stopping power, but has more difficult job of penetrating resisting materials, for example armor.

Awesome

[@williammawk1720]

As noisy as it is there would never be an animal standing where it was when the arrow got there.

[@jimlahey5623]

You always use very low weight bows, why you dont try some 60 Ibs, or more? That would show what bows were used in history

[@ArminHirmer]

as you that I always use them, I assume you watched some of my videos. And in many I explain that I have a shoulder damage and more than 60# causes problems :) and a while ago Oi did a poll on FB Archery group what # people shoot. Mostly 40#

[@jimlahey5623]

@@ArminHirmer maybe medicine will make big step forward so you will be fine. I have 60lbs black hunter after usimg samick polaris 40,and it is big difference, nice to see arrow fly far further. But there is problem, there are very few arrows for stronger bows, i cant find any and use chinese musen.

[@ArminHirmer]

@@jimlahey5623 an operation would help. but anyway in Malta is a 60# limit, anything above requires a gun licence

[@Daylon91]

Even lighter 45# bows were used for war by the Californian tribes which Ishi belonged to.

[@jkre]

Turkish bows have the reputation of being fastest traditional bows in the world, but yet still no matter how many reviews of them i watch, they always disappoints. 180 fps with 9gpp and 30" draw is self bow speeds. I don't know witch is to blame, the bow design, material or the bowyer? Material should be good enough, i have seen modern recurves with same materials shooting 200+ fps with 10 gpp and "only" 28" draw. Then again i have seen test results with real composite turkish bows shooting 180 fps with 11,3 gpp, and another shooting 185 fps with 10.9 gpp (shot with a shooting machine, so bit more extra speed from that i guess) so it shouldn't really be the design either. But how bout the bowyer? I haven't seen any trust worthy tests done with other makers who's bows would perform significantly better than these alibows, they actually seem to be reasonably good performing bows for what i have seen, they all seem to perform similar or worse than this. Is the design just not suitable for these materials? Modern materials should be capable of better performance than natural materials, over all they shoot greater distance in flight archery. Just doesn't make sense to me. I have also made a longbow (bamboo backed jatoba) that shoots 180 fps but with 10 gpp and 29" draw, and it isn't that well made, i could nowadays make faster i'm sure, if i could get my hands on the same materials again, and now i know what i did wrong in the first one, it has a lot to improve on, and i could get more 5-10 fps more out of similar bow now, i can almost match the performance with a self bow now. And its just a longbow, its even deflex due to too much stress, so it really is far from fastest it could be and turkish design is supposed to be superior, but still perform the same, actually less, cus this alibow was shot with 9 gpp and mine with 10 gpp and same speed.

[@jkre]

So far the fastest traditional bows i have seen test results from are norwegian military two wood bows. 211 fps with 29" draw and 10 gpp is the fastest that i know of. And the two wood bows belly is made out of compression pine, witch has a unique ability to get longer when there is more moisture, pushing the bow more reflex when in high humidity and thus have more power, witch is the opposite to all the other types of bows, witch gets weaker in high humidity. I wonder tough how fast are Ivar Maldes turkish bows with 10 gpp. They hold the world record of flight archery in the complex composites.

[@jkre]

@bondes des horns costs around 80€, sinew can be get free from local hunters, wood isn't that expensive, about 100-150€ if self made... Not that expensive.
