TOP 5 BOWS I have ever tested!

[@karlgunther-turkisharchery4272]

Hi Charlie! Here are my top 5 horsebows: 5. Metbows Turkish 4. Bogar Assyrian 3. AF Archery Turkish updated 2. Jackal Akinji 1. Vegh Turkish

[@agamagreen]

Awesome video, dear friend! 👊😁 I haven’t shot a Metbow so far, so I don’t know the difference compared to a Simsek for example… My personal top 5 are: 1) Dacian 2) Hornbows 62 or 64 3) Saracen and Turkish bows 4) Khan, Raider and Griffin 5) Nökhör, Xiaoshao and Zhu Ran and the Korean bows and the Seljuk is lovely to shoot but not easy to string and… in the end I love them all! 🤪😁

[@CharliesRunningArchery]

It seems that TOP 5 is too short for you my dearest sister! :)))

[@agamagreen]

@@CharliesRunningArchery Indeed, dear Prince Charming! ✌️😁 All laminated and horn bows and inbetween are pieces of art and it’s hard for me to rate 😅🥰

[@richiesahns9727]

I also do home taught rapid/movement shooting and I also use that alibow Turkish fiberglass and love it immensely. I taught myself on a Korean short bow but wanted something in more euro style and size and bought the same bow as you. I think it's just amazing. I believe mine is 40lbs at 28 inches and 48 or so at 32. I also never unstring it! It's just the best bow for tough training

[@SUPERSONIC_ARCHERY]

Hi Charlie, nice Vid there :) My top five bowa are: 1. Paragon Bows Griffin 2. Simons Bow Company Raptor 3. Paragon Bows Raider 4. Grozer BC Assyrian 5. Daylite Archery Majesty 3K Cross Carbon Korean Bow

[@CharliesRunningArchery]

Nice nice! Neat!

[@ianbruce6515]

I have the Alibow Turkish and like it. Recently I bought the Menyuan Crab Bow from Nika Archery. (The new one that just came out--not the toy one of some years ago). It was about $156 delivered here in the US. It is a solid glass--takedown (reduces shipping). This bow is utterly gorgeous, matt black with gorgeous curves.! Shoots much better than I do! Armin Hirmir reviewed it. I hope you will also review it, Charlie!

[@CharliesRunningArchery]

Need to check it out :) Thanks

[@kevinmaughan4290]

Would you rate the nika over the alibow turkish?

[@Dargon5-pw]

I was expecting the Assyrian or Turkish to be first. Also Charlie can I say thank you. Your videos and archery are helping me through a lot in the past year and now I have also started moving while shooting because of you so just thank you.

[@CharliesRunningArchery]

My pleasure to help :)

[@brettbrown9814]

Thanks Charlie! The Turkish Alibow seems a good value bow. Do you recommend the lambs skin or canvas?

[@brianmontgomery9744]

The Bear Magnum 45#, 38" is the best of my bow collection out of ten bows so far.

[@CharliesRunningArchery]

Cool!

[@seanmccall7277]

That's a hell of a bow.👌

Hi Charlie, what's your opinion regarding bow magazines?

[@anthonyforfare7223]

Great reviews!👍😁 appreciate your feedback 😊🥰 God Bless 🙏😇❤️

[@BackpackingVideos]

Thanks for this video! I have been doing a ton of research on Asiatic bows and I think I am going to try the Assyrian bow from Bogar. It seems this is still a good choice?

[@CharliesRunningArchery]

Absolutely! Amazing how!

[@joedaniels4646]

Great video ... just curious as to what your draw weight and draw length is on that bow! Thanks and God bless!

[@CharliesRunningArchery]

Thanks, 37 lbs and max draw 30-31 inches :)

[@MichaelJones-ti9fx]

I have the Nokhor from Alibow. I like it!

[@Bassanova95]

I have just 3 bows so: 1. Grozer biocomposite Tatar 2. AF archery Que Yue turkish bow 3. Grozer biocomposite Hungarian - long did you ever try simsek bows?

[@gediminasmorkys3589]

I bought the Alibow Turkish last year, and understood something about myself. I don't enjoy the short draw that much. So, 1. Korean style (White Feather Forever Carbon 53" with 33" max draw) - light, longer draw, snappy, good looking, comfortable grip. Definitely my kind of bow. I haven't tried a Manchu style bow yet, so that might be in my future. Perhaps an even longer draw is even more fun? I know I won't go into Yumi/Longbow, because transportation is a thing :) 2. Simsek Ay (Crescent) - a low draw weight bow that takes the punishment of me drawing it to 32" and continues to work well, but I have since leveled up the draw weight. Looks like it is indestructible. 3. Alibow Turkish, a good bow, just not for me.

[@thomaskurz5617]

Yes the turkish from Alibow has quite a sort draw with 29 inch. I like it but it feels quite unstable due to the small size and the short draw. Try a crimean tartar, similar design but longer limbs and longer draw. For me they are the sweetspot in regards of length and beeing easy to handle. Could also be that my first asiatic bow was a Tartar.

[@CharliesRunningArchery]

Interesting list, Thanks for sharing :)

[@CharliesRunningArchery]

Need it short because in movement you have no chance to draw over 29. It's more like 27ish :)

[@gediminasmorkys3589]

​@@thomaskurz5617yeah, the Simsek "beginner" bow is the Crimean Tatar design (but stated 29" max draw, which I totally overdraw 😛). Good design, no complaints there.

[@RS_]

You should try Vegh Turkish bow then. Max draw 33" , advised 31" Smooth, fast, no handshock . Zodziu geras lankas! :)

[@EddyB78]

Hai great to see this. Any tips on a long draw Turkish style bow?

[@CharliesRunningArchery]

Not that I know of... sorry :/

[@thomaskurz5617]

A toptier list is always hard, depends on what you want. for you it is easy you need, want a bow for running archery. I am more trying out all the different designs to see what I like most. Currently I would rank my bows like that. 1) Crimean Tartar L2 by Grozer (this is a laminated bow with a carbon belly) easy to shoot and very powerful due to the carbon backing. 2) Crimean Tartar by Alibow not as powerful as the first, and due to the Fiberglass a much smoother draw. The It would be a tie with my other bows as I do not shoot them as much as my Tartars. 3)Turkish by Alibow cute little bow, but feels quite nervous and if you do like long draw this is not for you only 29 inch draw. 3)Kaya TKB a korean bow with the traditional handle, and very nice decorations. You need a bit of a different shootingstye, due to the handle. But like the Grozer bow, quite powerfull for its poundage. 3) Yarha II by Alibow. A long manchu style bow. If you just need to hurl some really huge arrows downfield this is the bow. A good bow for releasing stress, makes a very satisfying sound when the arrows hit the target.

[@timcline2799]

Excellent video, Thank you! Nokhor vs AF Horse?

[@CharliesRunningArchery]

I have not tested AF Horse so sorry, can't tell :(

[@dannyleonidas4328]

What do you all recommend for smaller hands and shorter draw length

[@CharliesRunningArchery]

Turkish bow ;) just random one

[@notastegaming7614]

I never got the chance to try many bows since most archers in my area shoot Olympic or compound, so my list is going to be limited to my personal collection. 5. Alibow Qinghai fiberglass 4. Daylite Phoenix 3. Freddie Nomad KTB 2. AF Zhu Ran gen.2 1. Freddie Warrior My first bow was a Nomadwarrior Fiberglass Nomad from Canyon Coppola. Good starter bow, but later on I found out that I wasn't a fan of short bows, like anything below 50". Now saving for a Mariner bow.

[@CharliesRunningArchery]

Hi Sir,I admire your passion for archery.I want to become like you as you are my idol.but the thing is that i have been practicing archery for two years and have noticed that i like heavy horsebows like some 50,60,or70 lbs.So do you know any "Mongolian Horsebow" which is good as per you and is 60... Lbs. Thanks.

[@CharliesRunningArchery]

Hi, honestly I don’t have a specific bow on my mind now. Try Vegh Bows or Alibow :)

[@hariSingh-qf1em]

@@CharliesRunningArchery Thanks for replying,Sir😀.

[@aliendoggy1]

Nice video, but are all the bows for people with short arms? Need a bow with draw length min 34/35inch :P

[@CharliesRunningArchery]

Long draw and running archery are not a good match. So that''s why I have no longer draw bows on my list at all :)

[@fasted8468]

Incredible video!

When you say another for shipping and custom to US. How much in range are we talking?

I do not know how is it with US, but here in Europe it was another about 100 dollars.
