Nice review Armin and I like that you also review the beginner bows on a regular basis!!

[@gigilaco]

Great video, as usual! I always look forward to your videos.

[@CarlitosMayo]

Deine Technik ist einfach erste Sahne. Danke für den Unterricht.

[@ColetteNoir]

Lovely review of beginner bows. I like the twin bows, I started years ago on a solid fiberglass one, so these bring back memories...

[@dbarnclay]

Thanks, Armin. Another great review!

[@marekgabris4283]

Well i needed a review for this bow and you did it just day before i get the bow , thank you very much for great review and for your videos, i always get some info and can chillout a bit when watching. Big thanks from slovakia.

Should I buy this bow? Greetings from Serbia.

[@tjj4lab]

These cheap bows are essential for archery. Something cheap but functional so people can try archery without having to invest too much. On of my first bows was a really cheap Junxing twinbow 25lb, had a ton of fun with it and now own 6 bows of various kinds, but I only knew I wanted other more expensive bows by trying the super cheap option first. I'm glad some makers are catering to the low end of th market so nicely, if I had to start archery by dropping £300 on a bow I wouldn't be sure I'd like, I don't think I would have gotten started. The £60 I paid for my Junxing bow was cheap enough I didn't mind the risk.

[@gigilaco]

TJJ Agreed. I wouldn’t even use the word cheap though, they’re really just inexpensive. I have a couple Junxing bows too from Alibaba and they’re very nice quality. After I had my Bear stolen I couldn’t really afford anything expensive as I’m a full time university student. They helped me to get back into archery.

[@tjj4lab]

@@gigilaco I have the Junxing twin bow, Phantom and Black Hunter. I've not found a bow I like better than the Black Hunter, even bows that cost 4x as much. £70 and I've not had more fun with a bow.

[@desertrainfrog1691]

The vintage market (not sure how large it is for horsebows) is another great option. You can get good condition bows from older times for really cheap, and they perform very well.

[@chinesestatemedia]

Thank you for the review! I just got the 35 lbs version of this and needed help stringing it :D (last time I strung a bow was in 2017) But the review itself was very informational too! Can't wait to finish work and go out shooting

[@tammynfletcher]

Great review as always. Bows aren't my style but still interesting to watch. Thank you Armin!

[@rockerwola]

I just order one, for my self, can't wait to take my first shots..

[@MarciBirk]

Nice review. I have owned this bow in 35 punds for a couple of months. I find it really accurate and nice to shoot. I think the Nick part of the string is a little thick. Mine kept a few nocks until i glued them on better. Great place to start.

[@miguelveratraditionalarche9374]

Hi Mr. Armin you made me laugh ,when you said Khatra didn't work. and you execute it with great precision and it gives you a great result😅 Only those who believe we are fools think it doesn't work. Thanks for this Nice Review. For the Bows, Excellent Bows to practice and make archer happy✌😀

[@na-ilemmert2007]

I loved how you were somewhat mocking of those who deny the usefulness of utilizing a correct khatra. I find it essential. My shots feel incomplete without it.

[@sigmanarchery54]

Not to bad. But its hard to decide there are so many cheap bows on the market thank you for the review and your honesty God bless.

[@draganslavic6432]

Hi,i took this one coz of Your review,beginner,am very satisfied,also guys that shoot at field where i practice are kinda amazed that i shoot with that simple bow at some distances after only 2 months practice,watch your videos to see what i am doing wrong and kinda feel it help,still a long way to go,thank You Mr. Armin I know its not just about distance...put that in a wrong way,but trying to follow your tips....myb one day will visit Malta just coz of You,respect and thanks again

[@fdel7032]

Nice Review as always and with a touch of humor to boot. I wonder if you have any experience with the sada horsebow from Oakridge. It's a linated "half entry bow" I suppose here in Portugal it's 149 € at 52". I'm from Brazil and seeking a intermediate horsebow with a limit of 500usd for all stuff (arrows ect) due to customs. I'm looking for a "non total green shooter" bow, ambidextrous, so I can learn thumb release. Unfortunately in Brazil we have Zero option for ambidextrous. Sorry for this long post

[@ArminHirmer]

I should get my hands on one soon, Oakridge is a bit slow....

[@thomasrobson6370]

Morning :-)

[@jme104]

Buck Trail another brand of SSA archery of Belgium .

[@gizmonomono]

I love that deep sound twin bows usually have. With all these affordable bows over the years, which would you recommend for a new, traditional archery club, as a standard bow? Would it still be the snake bow? There are some nice laminated bows that aren't too expensive, but I guess fiberglass would be better for beginners?

[@ArminHirmer]

For a club I am picky because of the leather wraps on the handle. So the danke or this one without leather

[@gizmonomono]

@@ArminHirmer I googled the Danke bow but couldn't find anything, then my brain caught up. You meant Snake :D Thank you for the answer.

[@ArminHirmer]

yeah sorry, on mobile without glasses.... trusting autocorrect hahaha

[@gizmonomono]

@@ArminHirmer No worries, I gave my deductive reasoning a good laugh on that one 😂 Nice to have you back doing reviews. They are a blast. Yours is now my favorite channel on KZbin.

[@milan425]

I have a few questions for you about inexpensive buck trail bows. You reviewed few of them and I noticed you reacted to their novice level and hand shock. How does one address these issues (arrow gpi, string dampening, limb dampening, string material....) and what to expect from them?

[@ArminHirmer]

Use 10gpp arrows and it will be fine

[@milan425]

@@ArminHirmer Zo, I reached same conclusion, current ones are less than 6gpi. Also, you do have 3min tips type of videos, zo it could be a topic.

[@domicheck]

what kind of arrows do you use with it?

[@themightyfozz1573]

Did you ever get the heavier version?

[@dmitristrelnikov9746]

Hello there, I have been trying to decide for quite a while now which traditional bow should I use to master the different drawing techniques which I learn on my old 20. lbs hungarian beforehand. Any advice on which bow would be best suited for this? I apologize in advance if you covered this in previous videos and I missed it. Also 1 more thing; could you please consider putting the reviews in a separate list of videos? Furthermore, you are an awesome teacher of some more unorthodox drawing techniques, I learned a lot. Thank you

[@ArminHirmer]

depends on your budget and the max draw you will have with it

[@dmitristrelnikov9746]

@@ArminHirmer well, my budget would be 150€ bur I could go to 175€ and I would go for comfortable 35.lbs. draw lenght is 31"

[@miguelveratraditionalarche9374]

@@dmitristrelnikov9746 Hi! Brother Archer,my regards and in that budget and draw length you remind me. could suggest AF ARCHERY CRIMEAN TATAR. I have one laminated #35@ 28" max draw 32" I live in a difficult climate and the Bow work great. I've thrown myself up on the floor with that bow and it never gives trouble. Is a nice bow you can practice all nice fancy technics. I have great adventures with that bow. and most importantly you don't make much money spending. Have nice day. Cheers✌😀

Hi Armin, great video! Would you recommend this bow or the Oak Ridge Mongo?

I think I did a comparison a while ago. Metis I think won

[@ArminHirmer]

Würde ich nicht tun. Billigbogen sind da Recht anfällig

[@kevinmaughan9445]

Great videos. Quick question. I practice thumb release with the snake bow. But as i release i alwalys close my eyes or blink instantly. I dont know why. Can you help

[@ArminHirmer]

Sounds like a topic for a 3 min Friday video :)

[@kevinmaughan9445]

I try not to blink but it happens instantly. I really like the thumb release and only for your advice i would never have known where to start. Im new to archery aswell.

[@scratabit]

I don't have that problem myself but I have seen it in others - not just with archery but also in rifle target shooting. I think it would make a great topic for an Armin 3 min Friday video 😃

[@jpavlvs]

Hello, Armin. Not a archery question. Just a curious one. What does Buttigieg mean in Maltese?

[@ArminHirmer]

I have no idea, it is a family name here

[@mikeoxlong1395]

Aaaaa, what were those screams at 7:29 shortly after he fires that arrow?

[@HoldtheHammerhigh]

lol you got some good shooting skill

[@Penov87]

I need a help to determine the proper arrow spin/lenght for the 40LB version of this bow...

[@ddb4311]

I shoot this one with 600 spine arrows, 28"length by 27, 2" draw. Fits well

[@davidsalman8362]

Master Armin!! What's the Fastest bow you ever tested in your life? :|

[@ArminHirmer]

I don't know, because I don't care that much about speed. For me the overall package is way more important. But I think it was one from Grozer

[@albinasjakubcionis9664]

Very nice review, good job. Nowadays they have this with more pounds( up to 45p). I guess 45 is more preferable for a 90kg guy, right ?
