Hi bow does this bow compare to your Assyrian bow? Does it feel faster or more stable in term of shooting experience. I am on the edge of buying this one.
This is the first version of this bow,its not the new biocomposite one which might be better but i prefer the assyrian.The limbs are heavier and wider on the mugal so less speed and more vibrations.
thanks dude! quite pricey... i currently shoot a nomad ktb, standard carbon and wood. would wanna upgrade to maybe a grozer, an alibow, a song mu gung, or a kassai... so many choices so little money lol x_x
Anytime bro! Alibow is a very good value i have the turkish,its very pleasant to shoot with thumbring,quite fast and not so pricey 300$ shipping included.I thinks its my favorite.
I haven't been shooting for some time because of health issues but its cool bow quite strange though. It feels different when you brace it,very supple,like rubber and you have to adjust the limbs straight after putting the string just like a hornbow. On the website they said it must be handled with more care like a hornbow. Its very smooth on the draw for the size and shape,but the limbs are a bit bulky and heavy,so there is some handshock and noise. It doesnt stack much,way less than the scythian and feels like you can pull it back to 30.5,speed is medium but quite accurate. Its not my favorite but i like to shoot it from time to time and take it for bushcrafting because of the size and i kinda like the shape.
Johan Pinheiro Beautiful!!! How fortunate some of us are to live with such wonderful vista's. I live in the Rocky Mountains USA. Fabulous bow, by the way.
Just got my biocomposite Scythian few weeks back. I find it surprisingly comfortable to and accurate to shoot. There's a bit of handshock compare to Assyrian but it mostly disappeared when I relax my bow hand and use a low grip. String pinch not a problem I use 2 finger under arrow. Thanks for the recommendation. Loving it.
Soviless99 I do not own a hornbow,but as far as i know those biocomposite are much less sensitive than hornbows,and you don't need to correct them after putting the string.You can check this guy's video on assyrian hornbow: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eYbKUGJQJdA.html
Thanks. Ive literally eye'd the bicomposite scythian since it first came out back then. because its affordable, natural materials, and looks authentic to the bows on attic vases rather than fiberglass scythians bows. But the matenance has always been a put off for hornbows for me and their price.
un mec qui tir des arcs Grozer,est "fan" de dieudo et qui écoute de la musique traditionnelle indienne ne peut etre que forcément un type bien lol. Je possede le meme model en 52#,c'est vraiment un délice
Impressive shooting! How does the Scythian compare to the Assyrian? Do you feel handshock? Are you able to get arrows flying straight? I wish to get the Scythian but worried that the low brace height with make tuning difficult.

Thanks for the comment Jimmy.I sent the Assyrian for repair(nothing serious,just a slightly twisted siyah),so i haven't been shooting it for a month,but i can say the Assyrian feels more comfortable and its more forgiving.There is more handshock on the Scythian,i think due to the small size,the shape and the string bridges,but its ok.The biggest difficulty so far for me is to adapt my grip to the curved handle, when i draw the bow it wants to tilt up so i have to use a high grip to balance it.So it doesn't forgive a bad release or a bad form..and it stacks quite a bit at 29.5 inches,for that its better to use snap shooting,i still have to work my technic anyways...I didn't "tuned" the arrows yet,but when my grip is ok i get a pretty descent flight with the ones i use for the assyrian.These are 460 grain carbon heritage 250,and 500 grain,60-65# spined cedar shafts,but i'm still searching for the sweet spot for the nocking point...The low brace height doesn't seem to be very problematic for now,but it is a new bow,so i still have to get used to it.
Johan Pinheiro Thank you for sharing your thoughts. The arrows looks to be flying fast and straight. Accuracy is really good at those distances. I have the new laminated Turkish it draws real smoothly despite being shorter than Assyrian. A little more shock than Assyrian but not uncomfortable or noticeable on its own. Be careful using other strings like flemish fast flight may cause problems with these bows.
