BRAVO, LILLY ! Simple bows like this one are the BEST ! Anything with pulleys, cables, and other "bells & whistles" is more likely to break, malfunction, or require maintenance. GOOD VIDEO !

[@WolfinWolvesClothing713]

That's dumb.

[@kesleycottrell1416]

You are doing much better. Excellent form, you are not plucking the string. Very good follow thru. Love the bow, good equipment makes a big difference.

[@MONKLJ]

Mandarin Duck first produced this bow, back in 2020, they've made a few changes, I think for the better, looks wise, etc., and now selling it under the name,"The Devourer". I saw your video, and a couple others, on this bow, and ordered it yesterday, to add to my small collection of bows. Enjoyed your video, keep up the great work. Thank you Mandarin Duck also, for producing some fine bows, at affordable prices. Yes the squirrel is very dead, but as far as putting it on the table, it's just a little too rubbery, for my liking. A week later I'm shooting this bow at the range yesterday, I to have to say it was easy to shoot, I'm used to center cut rests, but guess I was shooting the right arrow for this bow, because after two shots at 20 yards, I was shooting within the ten point ring on a paper target. I set my brace at 8", which seemed fine, shot a quite arrow or close to it, but today I'm adding dampers to the string also. Yes I've got to say I'm a happy camper with this bow. Thanks Lilly and Mandarin Duck.

[@alexanderlapp5048]

Hi Lilly! I didn't know you still had this channel. I went for a few years without a smart phone, but I have one again and can watch you now.

[@dannyroberts5056]

The bow is beautiful but I realy like the way you shot the video. I realy like the fact that you were shooting your new bow like you were realy hunting. You were standing, kneeling and shooting from different angles. I know alot of people who only shoot their bows with perfect form while praticing. When they are facing a live animal they miss. One reason is because in my experience I have rarely been able to shoot standing up with perfect form while in the woods. I nearly shot a deer while nearly lying on my back. She was only 5 yrds from me and there was no proper shooting form to be had. She never flinched until the arrow shot right under her chest. After that clean miss I started shooting my bows from every awkward position I could think of. I also had to learn to calm my nerves before taking my shots at a live animsl. Lets face it targets dont get our heart rates up live animals do. These two changes made a huge difference in my hunting success. This is why I love watching your videos. Form is important so we dont create bad habbits while shooting. Lets face it though animals or a swaying branch can cause us to miss by inches or even feet. Thats why I love the challenge of traditional archery. Great video Liley. Sorry for rambling.

[@CanadianPrepper]

Pretty nice takedown long bow, interesting that they kept it traditional many are going with more modern materials, looks like a great bow for a bushcrafter, I am sure many have left this comment already but I wonder if the connection would get loose over time? Looks very comfortable to shoot PS thats a big a$$ squirrel hes been eating well, I think 'Scrat' like the guy from ice age

[@trevormaurice5240]

seems cool... I am curious about it's wear and tear factor with consistent assembly and breakdown over time

[@SurvivalLilly]

the connection seems very solid to me.

[@reason1925]

My thoughts as well. A study of durability, after numerous assemblies and take downs, could be useful.

[@robb77536]

For US MILITIA: Children's Compound bows are normally only 25lbs, and do not shoot very fast. For Lilly: I have a takedown bow, I believe a Fred Bear that I have had for many years. It is solid fiberglass and by now, not nearly as pretty as your bow. But it is still tight with no looseness. It is a 50lbs/ 28" bow. Great fun to use, and excellent to tie on the side of a pack. Where do you get those arrows, they would be a great addendum to my bow.

[@crazydougthewolf]

A tip from someone who's shot archery their whole life: You're accuracy will increase drastically by keeping both eyes open. Also, don't use your arrow as a sight to aim with, look at your target.

[@OscarRodSeedsofG]

you are 100% correct.

[@michaeldean5787]

Very interesting, thanks for the tips

[@thewatcher611]

Accuracy....not if you're coss eye dominant.... yep, it sucks.

[@crazydougthewolf]

@@thewatcher611 Eye dominance is irrelevant if you're shooting instinctively, truly instinctively. What do I mean? Does eye dominance affect how you throw a ball to someone? No, that's instinctive aiming. You look at the person you're throwing the ball too and you throw it, your brain does the aiming automatically. Instinctive archery is the same way. It's what allows an instinctive archer to hit a moving target, even a small one, quickly and accurately. Gap shooting, on the other hand, is using the arrowhead as a sight, either intentionally or not. A lot of people who thing they are instinctive shooters are actually gap shooting and don't know it. The test is if you're cross eye dominant and can't hit your target well, then you are gap shooting, or try hitting a moving target like a tossed tennis ball.

[@johnjriggsarchery2457]

There's more than one way to shoot.

[@Bigfoot_With_Internet_Access]

Oh so your the one who I saw sneaking around my forest with a bow the other day

[@muddymuz7266]

No bud it was me and my compound bow.

[@eternalstudent11]

A longbow! As someone who's been shooting those for 20+ years, I'm so happy to see you shooting one! The takedown bow I keep in my car is a 55# recurve, and it's the pickiest, most unforgiving bow I own. I did have my brother-in-law fabricate some bolts with stud extensions so that I no longer need to keep an Allen wrench with me to take it apart or secure it together. Much prefer to have something like what you've got there. Thanks for the review!

[@Dima-cx7gv]

Why not use bow with the ILF system? You don't need any tools to disassemble and assemble it.

[@SurvivalLilly]

@@Dima-cx7gv it is a question of personal preference

[@jackblackpowderprepper4940]

Nice marksmanship. That bow is reasonably priced. I wonder if over time the slip joint becomes an issue?

[@PatNetherlander]

I really like your technique! Nice follow-through Lilly! And you brought me on their site. Won't be the longbow though. They have a nice takedown-recurve as well!

Hi Lilly .Where I live for archery for deer must be 45 lbs. To hard to pull back.😞

[@BraxxJuventa]

Sounds like a great bow! Thanks for showing us Lilly! 👍😁

[@seanbarber6945]

Like how you explain the set up of bow with how far string was and how you put notch on with the measurements

[@chrismullin8304]

I plan to take my daughter and myself to an archery class, thanks to you Lily!

[@corey_deroche]

Very impressive. It shoots really quick considering it's a light weight and your shafts are pretty thick. The limbs must be very well designed because it seems fast. It's such a perfect bow for where you live and what you do. I like to carry three field tipped arrows and three blade tipped arrows. In case I run into a bigger animal or I want to protect someone I can choose. You should come over to Maine sometime and do some stump shooting in the woods. My forest looks like your forest and we do what you do. Looking forward to your next adventure. Don't forget your headlight :)

[@jorgecorcinojr5914]

Great review Lilly , i liked the bow so much i ended up ordering one . Other take down bows like it are twice as much .

[@bgurtek]

Lilly, that tight connection between the two limbs, is great, and certainly vitally important. But, with continued use, will it stay that way? (Not that such an issue cannot be dealt with, because it can.)

[@12StringHWY]

Looks interesting. But I'd like to know how well that detachment part will hold up over time. Will it stay true and straight or will it get loose and sloppy?

Lilly, nice addition to your collection. Excellent survival bow. I have an original Bear Minuteman I bought new before you were born ( never ask age or weight ) . Look into flu-flu arrow and judo points. But, if you can't get close enough it's all for not. practice being sneaky. Learn to sit still.

[@CraigReeve]

That's a really nice bow. Gotta get one for me, it's perfect. They certainly chose the right person to demo it. Always thought your form was spot on. Also, I think you should call that squirrel 'Chunky' he's a big boy!

[@0HARE]

Wow, thanks for a great review of an awesome bow! It’s very functional, and quite beautiful. That’s a very innovative design, as well. I really like those two-part arrows of yours. Can you provide a link to them also? Thanks, again, and Happy Hunting.

[@mjoutdoorgear8134]

Good review! I Just want to point out tho, that string should be In the true centre of the grip and up through the centre of the limbs for the most efficient and would quiet up that bow tremendously!! Archers paradox is corrected by the arrow tune and having the correct spine tuned for the bow!!

[@thomash.5473]

Wow y'all must have some really big squirrel in Europe here in the USA the squirrels are a lot smaller. I'd say about 1/3 the size. But it looks like a very nice collapesable bow. Nice shooting as well.

Have you ever tried using a children’s compound bow? Their small size is perfect for a backpack. I wonder if they’re decent for hunting?

[@PatJuhNL]

Usually they are a bit on the light side, also he drawlength is too short for many of us, I draw a bit over 28”. My old man uses a youth compound at 26” and I can’t get a decent form with it, my anchor is missing.

[@darrellheckathorn3612]

I got a 40 lb. Composite shortbow this spring just so I can shoot homemade arrows. Not this fancy but a good prepper bow.

My own recurve bow is also a take-down. I absolutely love it. It is my last line of survival on an overpopulated planet. And gutting mammals is the same for all mammals.

[@shaggyrumplenutz1610]

I used to be an zooarchaeologist and in most of the Native American sites I analyzed there were always small game bones. I have often wondered how often these were taken out with a blowgun instead of arrows from a bow. It would be a fantastic way tool in a silent hunting kit. You could even put one in the quiver with the arrows.

[@grahamcliffe8672]

Great video, fantastic looking bow. Are you shooting in private woodland?

[@lbroolz]

You sold me on the Phantom. LOVE it. Also bought the dampening system as well. Bought some nice arrows online. 30" 500 graphite with feathers. Incredible. I love it. Out of all the practice, I've never missed a shot. It's the craziest thing. No aiming device, just the small plastic piece for feather arrows. I can actually see where the arrow will end up. I'm so happy. Thank you for showing me/all of us bows and different types. Thank you Mandarin Duck for your products. I'm addicted.

All in all, I guess it's a nice bow (a lot easier to assemble & disassemble than my take down); but personal preference, I don't think it's curvy enough (like my first complaint about my take down bow)

The tooless factor makes this a game changer to me. Next closest thing is a mongolian bow I got from Aliexpress also tooless but only about 25lb of draw. Samick Sage is tooless but I lost a screw bolt once and had to re-order, obviously couldn't shoot it. My Hoyt Dorado requires Alan key which I worry about losing and the SAS survival bow I have just doesnt compare in terms of shootability. Now obviously this bow is doing the survival channel rounds because it is one of the few bows sold out on their website! 😄😐
