Xerxes Mini vs. Long - Which one should you get?

I often get asked, which Xerxes one should get.
Tough question, but as I have the normal and the Mini here, I can show you what I think.
If you own long draw bows and you want a different experience, go for the Mini.
If you just start long draw and you use the bow for 3D and such, maybe look at the long one.
If you have the budget, get both :)

I never thought I would see a short format bow with a full draw. It is refreshing to see you enjoying the products.

When I first started with Asiatic Archery...I was convinced that I wanted something compact and also powerful. After exploring the short sipahi style bows, I became curious about the longer drawing bows. Armin once told me there is something magical about the long draw experience. I still love my short draw, compact yet powerful, sipahi style bows, as they too possess a magical quality... different, but also magic. However, I find myself magnetized by the long draw magic! For me, archery is not only a fun sport of perpetual self improvement...but it is primarily a utilitarian tool of purpose. As a hunter, the forgiving nature and consistent accuracy of longer drawing bows creates a relationship based on reliability. Precise shot placement is an absolute necessity for the humane hunter. Both of these bows gleam with the essence of genuine quality. And while the longer drawing version would better suit my personal needs... I cannot say that the shorty is not also very tempting. They both look like FUN!!!❤ As always, WONDERFUL REVIEW ARMIN! 😊

Well said Armin. Good thorough useful review of these 2 awesome Nawalny's. I have started an order for a mini few days ago ! Can't wait to try it mounted.

[@agamagreen]

For half of the price I would love to have both! But I would order the Xerxes with painting and so on, so I will end up at 800 or 900€… two of them would be too much for me, too. As you have said, I have long draw bows, but not many mini bows, so I will choose the Xerxes mini… Thank you so much for the nice comparison, dear Armin! ☺️🙏🙏

[@davidlargen6945]

Both seem like awesome bows. The materials used in the build are really eye catching

[@UTxTheArchangel]

What a life to live, to be able to have this experiment with 2 great bows. I don't own either, but if I could choose one, I'd choose the mini version. Just to experience it. Great video as always.

[@geoffn1530]

I want both. However I would like the mini to carry everywhere.

[@user-zu9zl5on7s]

Your videos are always excellent

[@Galkac]

i love these types of bows

[@quarantinedarcher4348]

A bow in between these 2 sizes with a maximal F value seems ideal!

[@The_Pickle34]

Wow incredible bows! Almost convinced me to check out the long bow... Btw would love to see an arrow stockpile/comparison review. Where you get there, what you think and like or dislike about them! Thanks as always

[@ianbruce6515]

If I was a dedicated hunter, I think I'd go for the mini. The highly skilled hunters that I know shoot from very close range and find that they are often so close that the movement of drawing the bow is noticed by the deer. Sometimes they cannot draw at all without startling the prey! The shorter draw and shorter bow might be helpful for them. I believe this is why some hunter gatherer cultures shoot very short bows held sideways. I wish I could afford one of these bows! I'm not sure which one I would choose!

[@societyofrobots]

Do you find short bows to be more inaccurate? Mine feels far more sensitive to small mistakes in my technique.

[@ArminHirmer]

mostly the short ones need more attention :)

[@jedgurley]

I'm deciding on a long draw bow first, I'm six foot tall with about 30 to 33 inch draw, that lock in draw for long accurate shots is great but that short bow does look like some fun for sure! In the weapon practicality side of it all,, a long bow would be best for open areas where the short bow would be very good for closed area's, inside buildings especially. Just like a sword, long sword outside, short sword inside. .

[@aapisiharper5023]

Things to work towards. Both beautiful. Would love if I could see the pricing. Adore the short bow

[@ArminHirmer]

on the website of Nawalny (link in the description) you will find the prices, but I even mentioned them

[@RomanSidorski]

So how about Xerxes (long one) vs Buryat from Vegh? :) They seem to serve the same purpose: long draw bows for shooting lightweight arrows with precision (on a 3d parkour or wherever). And their shapes have also a lot in common :)

[@miguelveratraditionalarche9374]

Humm for me the short one. Yeah I watched this video and now want to shoot my Nawalny Majestic Seljuk ❤👊🤪

[@midgardlife]

Decisions, decisions, I love em both. Cant afford either 🤤😫

[@jareth7456]

I'm gonna have to start selling dope to support my archery habit lol

[@letssee8397]

I wonder if the mini Xerxes would work better with very heavy arrows

[@ArminHirmer]

I tried different weights, the lighter the better (for me)

[@executor46]

Where can I buy these?

[@ArminHirmer]

link to the bowbuilder is in the video description

[@Froglicker777]

May I ask what grip are you using please let us know

[@ArminHirmer]

[@muhammadquan8987]

[@ArminHirmer]

[@supriajarchery]

[@ArminHirmer]

[@supriajarchery]

[@sabioarsenault5237]

[@ArminHirmer]
