Junxing F172 takedown longbow

[@jamesholley1189]

I love Jun Xing bows, they are made to such a high standard of quality craftsmanship!!! You did good Steven, by stocking their products. Thank you for sharing this video.

[@ArcherySuppliesLonsdale]

I am happy with them, I have had no limb failures, which is great, another company I use to stock had 50% failures.

[@grandpadean3527]

I love that you show lots of different bows and arrows on your videos. I wish I could get some of the cheaper arrows you have shone here in Calif. USA. You are fair and honest in your presentations and I thank you for that . If I lived nearer I would be a customer of yours for sure.

[@greenhoodedvigilante458]

It's known as 'Black hunter' to most people. Chinese brand 'Mandarin duck outfitters' rebranded this and sell in their own website. This is also sold in couple of other website.

[@alanbeaulier5783]

You do good videos very honest in your reviews and I do enjoy them. I think you found another class for you :-). It's all in the practice, practice, practice. You need to start going to 3D shoots with a plain old stick bow and have fun, relax, and enjoy yourself. Thank you.

[@garybrewster4988]

I've got one of these "black hunter " takedown longbows and the fit and finish is top class, it's only 35 lbs but its smooth to draw and now I've changed out the factory string its a lot quieter and after a fair bit of practice its consistently accurate (at least at 20 yards) all in all a lovely little bow and something different, I like different I also shoot a spigarelli revolution in full Olympic style and an RPM striker fully kitted . Keep up the good work and the good honest reviews mate .

[@LIGHTNINLIPSKI1]

I got one a couple weeks ago. 35lb longbow,58". Strung it with a Bearpaw whisper string and using 500 spine MAC arrows with 145gn Fpts. Braceheight set at 7.5" and it shoots very well. Superb design. Excellent grip and the shelf is rebated to reduce feather contact. It would be really cool if Jungxing made carbon limbs for this riser.

[@sigmanarchery54]

Looks like what is called the black hunter here in the USA. And so far I’ve seen it as low as $98. And now they are making bamboo core replaceable limbs. Also you can use the new impulse veins which you can shoot off the shelf. Yes that’s so true it does take a lot of practice but it sure is fun.

[@ArcherySuppliesLonsdale]

Yes it is. The Sage is over priced in the USA. The F171 a much better recurve in my opinion. The Sage stacks, not as well finished, not the quality in the limbs or riser.

[@mortenjacobsen5673]

i ordered mine of aliexpress and it has the black hunter logo for less than xxx,not gonna say price sorry it would be bad form.

[@greenhoodedvigilante458]

@@mortenjacobsen5673 I heard the ones come from aliexpress are not very good in quality.

[@mortenjacobsen5673]

@@greenhoodedvigilante458 it feels as good as it shoots , I have not had any signs of quality issues, even put som 60lbs limbs on it witvh made it an absolutte best. You cant tell the limbs set appart in quality they both fit snug nut the filt might wear down. The only negative i find is that its 58 inches, not 60.

[@sansdecorum4600]

I have the "Black Hunter" hybrid longbow in bamboo @ 40# draw weight. My draw length is 29.5" and i do get some noticable stscking at anchor; not a deal breaker, but annoying. Other than that, I really like the form, fit and function. Wish it was available in a 62" AMO to accomodate those with goofy long arms.

[@tedbryer2512]

That is the black hunter riser. yes they make a recurve and a long bow. I have the recurve - very well made.

[@justcasey3678]

I have a Black Hunter at 40#. It is basically the same bow. It is quiet and smooth to shoot with no hand shock. I am shooting 3 under with 28" 600 spine arrow pushing a 125gr tip. It shoots better than my Quick Stick at almost 3X the money. The deluxe one looks really good and might get one.

[@matthewwagner4042]

I have a black hunter 41#(45#), I also have 35# limbs, both longbow limbs. Twig Archery.I also shoot 3 under. I'm using gamegetter 500s, uncut, with 100 grain tips. I'd also like to get just the deluxe riser.

[@ardbeg4mercy247]

I bought the deluxe version. 50#@28" (put it on scales) 400 spine piledrivers cut to 30", 145 up front. Bullet holes through paper. A few things... the video makes it look like the riser is zebrawood. It is not. It's made from "parawood", which can occasionally have stripes. Mine has one small stripe on one side. Also notice the scalloping on the belly side of the riser where it meets the limbs on the base model. That's not there on the deluxe. Mine also came with recurve limbs instead of rd longbow, but they're not the 58" limbs that are on the f171. It actually comes out at 60" AMO. Still a badass bow, way better than my hoyt stackmaster 2.

[@rossmcleod7983]

I’ve got one (goes by many names Black Hunter being the most common) and you can improve the look by sanding off the hard edges, finish with 240 grit, stain it with a metho based stain ( I used wife’s wool dye in a greenish/sepia/walnut tone), give it a good wax and it comes up looking very schmick indeed.

[@dougeldredge]

ive got a samick sage ,recurve, and yesterday i got a black hunter longbow, 40 lb at 28, i shoot 30 in. so more like 45-50lbs,both good shooters ,i love my new longbow, cant hardly wait for a new fast flight string, already ordered

[@ardbeg4mercy247]

I am interested in the delux version of the 172, but when I went to your company's website, I didn't find an email address to contact you. I had a few questions regarding the delux. 1. What is the riser constructed of? 2. What wood are the limb cores made of? 3. Does the bow come with string and what type of string is it? 4. What is the shipping cost and general idea of shipping time to the US? Great looking bow, I've heard nothing but good things about the f172. Looking forward to your response.

[@jonc67uk]

I love mine. I've got the #40 & draw it to about 30.5". I shoot instinctive & it's really nicely consistent. Shot a 450 indoor with it on Friday & robin hooded one in the + . It's stupidly good for the cash tbh.

[@ObelixCMM]

This is sold as "Galaxy Ember 60” Takedown Longbow" at Lancaster, Galaxy is their in house brand.

[@mortenjacobsen5673]

they are selling them already

[@MattJones1829]

If you've check the actual draw weight on a scale versus what the advertised draw weight is, how accurate is the advertising? I know a while back these bows seemed to scale out a few pounds under their advertised draw weights. I know of a used one for sale that scaled out at 47# at 28" but was advertised as a 50# @ 28" bow.

[@jamesle7237]

Could you do a review/demo of the F171 (recurve)?

[@santosknives6278]

Hoyt Satori review please!

[@pequodexpress]

Is Junxing the same company as Ling Feng? I see many identical bows by Ling Feng on Taobao.

[@xjade11.11]

Thank you for this video. I am about to buy a 178A. Pls, can you advise me on whether I should get the 58" or 60"? Thank you!

[@dash4177]

Not very experienced with trad bows but would a $1000 bow push an arrow out that much faster to warrant the extra cost.

[@ArcherySuppliesLonsdale]

I like the Rogue from Predator but no I think the speed will be about the same. On top end recurve limbs the difference is very little from $1000 to $200 limbs. But if you want a cool looking recurve everyone will admire Predator are the go.

[@dash4177]

Well that's interesting if you were looking at a bow purely for hunting you would be probably better off buying a cheap one, if looks weren't a concern.

[@qv-wr4yb]

I'd say speed-wise, there will be hardly any difference. This is basically limbs design, materials, and arrow weight. And if you are not a damn good shooter, you won't gain any advantage with the $1000 bow. Just like a beginner or casual compound shooter will not benefit from a $2000 bow. As a local dealer once said to me: The bow must only be better than you.

[@gobarb]

is there a difference in poundage at 28 inches draw and on a full draw?

[@MM0IMC]

Can you do a review of the Junxing F179, please?

[@gbaker51]

Can a person take the limbs from a bow that is right handed and switch them to a left handed bow?

[@gbaker51]

Same model bow

[@Art3ga]

if you had watched the Video you would know your answer. He mentioned exactly this problem!

[@davewebster6945]

From the looks of it the only thing would be the look of it, with the bit of limb end protruding into the top of the sight window area well away from interfering with anything. And if that bothered you you could grind off that bit if you wished 🤔.

[@JakeBullit123]

Is there a lug on the limbs as well as the single bolt to stop them moving?

[@robertcrowther6134]

yes

[@garyclephane9623]

Is it center cut 1/8 UNDER ,1/8 OVER YOU TELL US OR DO WE JUST GUESS BY LOOKS ? Seems to have a good bounce to it ..

[@matthewwagner4042]

I'd like to say I have this same bow in the Twig Archery big rock black hunter branding. You don't have to shoot instinctive with it, as stated in this video. I use the gap shooting method and this bow works out with it very well.

[@Mach1Greeble]

I'm going to need to know about that quiver boss. It's damn cool.

[@TruthBeliever5557]

Are the Junxing F171 and F172 the same bow?

[@aaronravlich6859]

Get in the mindset of pointing the arrow at the target Like pointing your finger at something

Just ordered one from these guys in Adelaide. Out of curiosity, of those that are shooting with them, what arrow specs have you found work the best?

[@francoisvermaak1764]

Hello Stephen its me again. I was watching a video made by Jimi Ellis who was stuffing an target bag with a zipper that he bought in your store for 30 dollars. We don’t have anything like that here in South Africa. It looks like an awesome target bag and I would love to get my hands on one. Would you be prepared to ship one for me to South Africa? An what will you charge extra for that? Thanx. Fran.

[@LongBowMan89]

Quality over all looks fair, For being a cheaper bow. Riser looks nice and looks like the company making them takes pride in their work. Bow has less noise then a sage. And 189.00 here in the states the sage runs about $225.00. Love the fact your wearing a Bear Archery shirt while fliming this lol. Give me a good discount on the other bow lol lol. But yes clear glass will do that. I even see it in 1000.00 + custom bows

Damn the "deluxe" version is $130 more on your site. Is that correct or a mistake? Can't see many people paying 330 for it sadly

mandarin duck is actually just a reseller. They buy them from the Chinese wholesaler and rebrand them.

Junxing is the actual manufacturer of this bow and also f179 which is sold as 'phantom' by Mandarin duck.

Not bad for beginner at least. For the price the comes in, a lot of beginner archers will look forward to buy this bow and they will be fine with this string.

If traditional isn't your thing then why do it? Trad depends on you, not on gadgetry. That's where the failing is.
