Oh yes! This Tang Chang‘ An would be the perfect bow for my collection! Ohhh… I hope for the best! 🤞😁 Thank you so much, dear Armin! ☺️🙏

Thanks for this! I have the old version and it's an amazing bow. Powerful, smooth, spectacular. It gets noticed on the range. It looks like Alibow has improved the stiffness and that it's easier to string which the old one definitely is not! It's a lot quieter which is a pity. I love the BOOM from my version! If anyone is considering this bow I'd recommend it. It will reward you. It's a 10/10 bow.

Alibow builds such nice-looking bows; a Patreon will be very lucky! 🙇🏻‍♂️👍🏹

[@mkultraification]

Nice. I still have my fiberglass Qinghai that I bought from alibow back in 2018. I've shot thousands of arrows since then. Still going strong.

[@Archerstidbits]

Version one of this bow is still my favorite and go-to bow! Woud gladly try out this version 🙂

[@davidlargen6945]

That is a beautiful shaped bow. Nice performance. Price is not bad at all

[@tammynfletcher]

Another nice bow by Alibow! Fast enough and smooth drawing. Just a little long. Nice bow and great review as usual. Thank you my friend!

[@rawls1976]

It sounds crisp and fast. Lovely looking bow

[@miguelveratraditionalarche9374]

The impact that it provides when it hits is super.👊

[@UTxTheArchangel]

Never get tied of seeing an alibow bow. Looks like a nice bow that's nice to shoot. Great review as always.

[@ezadisnin3048]

nice looking bow. always enjoying your review

[@iamrocketray]

First let me say what an excellent review! I would love to get the take down version of this bow BUT its $600 before postage, then you have to add VAT(i'm in UK) so far too expensive. I will instead look at AF archery's equivalent which I am sure are just as good but not so much of a rip-off.

[@jedgurley]

That is a crazy draw length! GIANT walks up,, that's my bow! Great shape too. Not bad at all.

[@AC765INDIANA]

Nice bow. Shoot an apple at 20yds...You have plenty of them on the ground there. lol.

[@crazyhandyman2668]

thank you

[@musicaremcasa7628]

Whenever I see viewer discretion.... I know it will be good!!!!

[@yakuptufek2210]

Speed test results are so interesting. Lighter arrows faster, heavier arrows slower.🤔

[@suunraze]

I'm surprise the mass was so high. My Xuanwu 45# is only 500g. What's giving this bow so much more?

[@0ooTheMAXXoo0]

Nice!

[@lubossoltes321]

This in black ... must be amazing ....

[@pemanahpemalas1929]

My booooow

[@AlexB-nr9zh]

Hi, sehr gutes Video . Ich hätte da mal eine Frage, könntest du eventuell ein Video dazu machen ,welche bögen du bei einem Turnier verwenden würdest. In Bezug auf stabiles trefferbild und Haptik? Vielen Dank Mach weiter so LG Alex

[@baronq37]

Ah!!! Should I get the Nokor or Chang-An?

[@richartist40]

I have both and if you like long draw with the shoulder blades squeezed tight before release with long arrows go with the Tang chang an ..The sight picture along the long arrow on the right side helps a lot with longer distance and the wallop of the heavy arrow is unbeatable ..Will tire you initially until you get more bow fit though ..I got a tang chang an in 35 pounds takedown and was so good got another on order now with 45 pounds one piece as the takedowns only go up to 35 pounds ..Nokhor is great but a "more like all the others" but a little better experience ...

[@psychsounds]

😂😂😂 People praising alibow clearly never held a bow in hand made by a real bowyer not some mass produced Chinese bullshit.

[@SleipnirTheSteed]

Perhaps a bow from Alibow has dissapointed you before, assuming you bought one. Not everybody upon noticing that Alibow is made in China will make broad assumptions like that, either about the bows, or to go further and accuse the archers who own them. You don't know what brands of bows "people" have either held before or OWN, and you never said what bows YOU have held, or named who a "real bowyer" is, that others would understand your opinion. Any real bowyer realises, whether he is beginner or master, that the skill of making a bow is proven in the bow itself. Unlike some "mass produced" modern goods, A wooden bow that performs very well does not magically fall into the lap of a bowyer who laminates and carves in a careless way, or takes shortcuts, as in tillering or material selection. Any flaw comes out sooner or later. There are good and bad bowyers in ALL markets, whether China or elsewhere, and i have experienced it myself. Some people are maybe attracted to the Tang-Chang-An aesthetically, or its 35" draw, which very very few bows, especially outside the "Asiatic" or especially Manchu market have. Any bow can throw fast by dryfiring a very light arrow, but this Tang-Chang-An is not doing that, but getting 179 FPS with a 11.84 GPP arrow, and that is very remarkable, and Armin (who is familar with many brands), he noticed that too. There are many reputable Asiatic bows or Modern-Recurve bows or American-Recurve bows on the market that achieve around that same 179FPS speed BUT with lighter, 9GPP, 10GPP arrows. Armin's reviews of top performance Grozers will get 180s or 190s FPS with 10GPP, a Simon Raptor 182 FPS with 10GPP, and those bows of course would throw slower with a 11.84GPP arrow, perhaps nearing or arriving at the speed of THIS bow, making it a VERY efficient and powerful performer. Is that craftsmanship? A simple result of a 35" long draw? Or did either the "mass production" Bowyer or Armin stumble into a coincidental accident by luck alone, the bow we see in this video? An older Tang-Chang-An model that Armin tested years ago once got 203 and 207 FPS with 10GPP. There are VERY FEW bows on the planet by ANY bowyer/manufacturer that can reach or pass 200FPS with 10GPP, most of the best on the market are in the 190s. Turkish flight bows or super durable Recurves can reach high 200s or 300s with super light arrows, but these same bows often reveal themselves to be 180s or 190s FPS bows when you give them more normal 10GPP arrows. Just the speed readings alone means nothing by itself, and would be entirely meaningless to describe the power of bows. The key to know how efficient or powerful a bow is, is to consider the speed AND the arrow weight together, and of what the poundage is. The IBO-dryfire Compound-Bow-market has still not noticed that yet, and maybe they are the alternative to "mass production" you are looking for? I've noticed in Armin's videos that especially this Tang Chang An, the Yarha 2 and the new Nökhör are EXTREMELY efficient and powerful bows, they can handle very long draws for their size without breaking, and their performance at least is among the TOP brands in the world. If ANY bowyer on the planet can first of all accomplish this level of physical performance, create good aesthetics and finish, and prove himself to be of good durability and longevity, then by what other factors would you imagine to measure of a bowyer or bow, aside from what country he or the bow comes from? Anybody could buy a Yew English Longbow for well over $1000 or many expensive American-type Recurves, that actually performs WORSE than these bows. But to dismiss them likewise as "Mass produced" or Not-"Real Bowyer" would not be neccesarily fair either.
