The new Hungarian laminated Bow by Istvan Szimeiszter - Review

And I already loved the Tatar bow by István Szimeiszter!
The Hungarian is at least for me even nicer.
The overall draw and shooting experience is unmatched in this price class

the first one is beautiful but this one is even more beautiful wow

[@h0tkoko]

I totally agree with Armin about the siyah design is awesome with a spine on the belly side

[@singharchery3043]

Another lovely Bow by master Bowmaker, a gem of a person. when we say design means design..not shape, rightly said by Armin👍. The Bow made by Istvan Szimiester is very well balanced and gives a decent speed, sweet draw and leave an Archer with a smiling face😊

[@agamagreen]

Wow! Beautiful wood and a lovely shape! Sounds like a ‘must-have’ bow! 😁👍 Thank you for the review, Armin!

[@haroldjeanjean]

I just received... it is beautifull, and shooting feeling is great! Thanks István Szimeiszter: great job!

[@hyperion5836]

Thanks for another great review Senpai Hirmer!!! This bow looks fantastic and appears to be a pleasure to shoot. There are so many good Eurasian bows available, it makes my head spin as to the next one to buy. Ha, ha!! This Hungarian model by Szimeiszter looks really good!

[@2DGraphicDesign]

Every time I look at this video I see something else to like about that bow. I love the 'Shape'/ 'Form'/ Design and in particular the Ears shape & woods used.

[@gergoboros3393]

And here am i siping my coffee at the middle of the night watching yet another one of your videos and it kicks in. I am the proug owner of a 13+ years old laminated tatár bow From Szimeiszter. Love it.

[@ArminHirmer]

awesome

[@sigmanarchery54]

Super nice bow and man it has a great shape, that looks like it kicks them out pretty well.

[@pauljermyn5909]

I have 17 horse bows, my Szimeiszter Turkish bow is my favorite, it is the best made and nicest bow to shoot.

[@jake4194]

I just ordered a turk bow by him few days ago! How long does he take on average to make a bow?

[@pauljermyn5909]

@@jake4194 I think it took a couple of months, worth the wait though, I haven't looked at another bow since I got mine.

[@josephstearn3393]

At this point I’ve been watching Armin on youtube for years, I own many beautiful bows and shoot them all the time. I’m not interested in buying another bow for a while, but this still doesn’t stop me from clicking on these videos. I simply want to see Armin (looking good by the way) and to see how the weather is in Malta, also looking good :)

[@ArminHirmer]

thanks Joseph, I hope you do it whilst having a good cup of coffee :)

[@gizmonomono]

It really looks like it draws smooth. That 11 out of 10 points is not a bad idea. An extra point for bows that go beyond in build, draw experience and so on 😁

[@laurentmeiller5171]

some observation, whatever the shape, small bows (52-60" long) allow comfort and a good precision around 28-35#, after, at 40,45, 50# it's much faster, but at 25, 30, 40 meters, seems difficult to shoot instinctively with high precision for ordinary archers and comfort and precision gives the archer's pleasure !

[@elee9056]

that dual screen mode was awesome!

[@ArminHirmer]

Thank you

[@harlinwall9367]

Wow!!! What a great bow! I LOVE mine! You got some fancy wood selections in this one. Looks like Mahogany on the belly, Birchroot Burl Wood on the back and I think your handle is either Pear or Cherry with Back Walnut accents...looking very high class! The smooth draw of these Magyar style bows from Istvan is dreamlike. Very easy to get on target. Makes you feel like accuracy is second nature! Loved your review, Armin! The three shots you took perfectly demonstrate the capabilities of this bow. ( of course the dude holding the bow is also very capable)👍🏹😉

[@ArminHirmer]

Thank you

[@roderickballance6960]

I am liking this bow !

[@tammynfletcher]

Another pretty bow by Istvan. I think I like this more than the Tartar! No brainier for the money and the experience of doing good business with an exceptional bowyer. Thanks for another great review my friend!

[@jamesgerrond4770]

I have the identical bow and love it

[@trevorjones7450]

Those arrows fly like Frozen Ropes!!Very Nice Bow!!

[@VladMcMerlin]

Kind of impressive features for the poundage!

[@h0tkoko]

Smooth limbs unlike my AF Archery tatar bow which a little wave is visible

[@N0rnagest]

... I want one!

[@magyararcher7478]

Very nice shooting bow , and the price is great. Yeah looks more like a longer tatar bow. But we had a lot of Turkish influence 🙂

[@h0tkoko]

Nice design, what is the width of limbs 1inch after the arrow pass and at the siyah transition?

[@h0tkoko]

Looks better when shot with kathra as the limb seems to be less wobbly on release with kathra

[@UncleDanBand64]

That is a nice looking bow. I like the wood and leather. More of a primitive look like most American laminated bows.

[@Orcman666]

I always thought that they should shoot with real bows in the Olympics. There could be different classes for longbows, hungarian, or other style recurve bows etc. This comment has nothing to do with the video - witch was perfect - but I thought I'd share it with you, because you all can appreciate real archery.

[@nikking37]

Hello! I'm quite new to archery but decided to put aside a good amount of dough for a nice horsebow with which I want to learn thumb-draw and discover my draw-length with that technique. Your videos are really a big help with this and my understanding of trad. archery in general. This bow looks like the one (maybe my judgement is clouded by its beautiful simple look); anyways, my one question is where can I buy this awesome bow? I live in Iberia and have looked in my local shops for Szimeister bows but can't find any! Edit: All I had to do was google -_- found his website first thing. Thanks for the review!

[@robsarchery9679]

Another nice one.

[@peterschneider208]

Thank you for the great review. Price-wise it seems to be comparable to the AF Archery Tatar Take-Down which you seemed to like a lot. Which one would you prefer in terms of vibration/shock and shooting experience?

[@ArminHirmer]

The draw is nicer on this one, but its a bit longer - one should compare the AF Tatar to The Tatar by Szimeister :)

[@h0tkoko]

Thanks for the update on your fb page 👍

[@0ooTheMAXXoo0]

It is normal for people to be used to using certain words... Super common for English native speakers to use the word "design" the way you do... I thought I could save you a few annoying comments from more picky people, that is all. I do not care that you say design, I know what you mean, but I do care about you, and I when see you fumbling over what to say because of the crappy comments you get, it made me want to help. Probably most of my comments will come from a place of trying to add something (small sometimes) or helping in some small way. Sometimes I do present a purposefully challenging view or idea about something because it seems the conversation is too one direction or needs major tweaking when everyone seems to be missing something obvious. I am not picky at all about small things but very picky about important things and I love to help if I can. Thanks again for all your helpful videos and let me know if I can ever help you in some way (I live near Chicago, IL, USA, born in Sweden)... I am not wealthy but got some skills (photo, video, music, graphic design, and a few really good friends in different parts of the world).

[@ArminHirmer]

Thank you, it’s just sometimes I start a sentence and it’s not my mother tongue, then I struggle :)

[@OpiatesAndTits]

I’m looking at 3 bows szimeiszter horse bow, szimeiszter Hungarian, or Bogar Hungarian I shoot a variety of styles thumb, med, and I love practicing various fast shooting method. Which would you pick of the 3?

[@ArminHirmer]

All 3 great

[@ryc3rz]

Have you chosen? I'm looking at Szimeiszter Hungarian, or Bogar Hungarian myself and can't decide...

[@jake4194]

I have a question for you armin, why do you like a long draw so much? Wouldn't a bow that makes max power between corner of mouth and ear be ideal?

[@ArminHirmer]

Once I started... hard to go back. Feels natural and as longer the arrow is in contact with the string, the better

[@spidey2721]

Any worries about wear on the bow along the sears where the string runs?

[@ArminHirmer]

No worries at all

[@Eiketsu89]

Is it the design/build that contributes to the smooth draw experience or the fact that it is low poundage?

[@ArminHirmer]

design

[@toomasvendelin]

I like your videos so much, that I thought: if it wasn't for COVID, I'd buy a bow, book a training course at your place, and fly to Malta. But then I thought - how do you travel (fly in particular) with such a beauty without damaging it? Hmm... Looks like a topic for a video.

[@ArminHirmer]

That’s true, I started already with it… but never finished

I just ordered the tatar but now I'm thinking maybe I should buy them both? But how many bows can a person need? May not be the right forum to ask this question 😄

[@AvengerXOFXBlood]

With all of the bows you've reviewed, do you have the data available somewhere? Maybe something tabulated and categorical? I'd be interested to see how all the bows you've reviewed stand up against each other within their categories when it comes to price, quality, and performance =D

[@ArminHirmer]

not yet

[@jamesbariso9507]

Poor Istvan, the score of the packaging dragged it down. Be merciful! The bows are great! Packaging has no effect on the bow. Please be kind! 😉

[@ArminHirmer]

Of course not, but performance is just one part of it all. And some bow builders took notice and provide the buyer with more :)

[@0ooTheMAXXoo0]

Same scoring for all the bows... Extra string is always helpful, might be hard to replace depending on where the buyer lives and the specific length of the string. One little card with specs is cheap and easy to include... Armin seems more than fair to the bow makers and it has to be his system for what he looks for in a bow...
