Thanks for the review, I have just purchased the foam core recurve limbs and mounted them on another brand riser and they are really good limbs for the price, its as fast and smooth as any recurve I've shot.
I just wanted to say thanks I watched enough of these posts and all you and others have finely talked me out of trying this sport and it doesn't cost much to brush it off .you and others should have your own show how to show off how good you can shoot.
What brace hight did you have? It did look like the string was touching the belly? The limbs look to me as a more reflex than other hybrid longbow limbs, so I believe it will be a faster limb than other hybrid limbs on the market??
Question : David, are you going to make some targets reviews one of his days? I have in mind 3D targets, however I understand that it may not be of any interest to you actually and of course it requires a budget to do this and you may not have this kinf of budget for this subject at this time. Have a nice day !
As an archery starter, should I get this bosen 17in horn or bosen 25in horn , my concerned is price and their different in handle. I care not about speed. I dislike using wood riser, My draw length is 28in-34in(80-95cm left-hand to my jaw) (180cm finger to finger),my height is 178cm/70in/5'10, draw weight 30 is comfortable for my 4 hours practice, 35 and up a bit overwhelming when I do more than 3.5hours practice I dont know how long will I be in archery but the bow will be used during 3-4 coming years, archery equipment is not available in my country but i can order from china Thankyou if you read this comments
Bosen Bows also makes a ILF Double Carbon Bamboo Core longbow limb, I bought a set, you should try to find them, they aren't on their website, and do a review on them. I've teamed up my DC limbs to a OMP Carbon Z 15" ILF riser. This is a fantastic setup very smooth precision bow for a bow hunter, not particularly for the target field world.
i have ordered an ILF Bosen horn recurve bow but I had assumed that they would ask if I wanted a right hand or left hand so do I cancel this bow before it is sent I want a right hand and I do not know what to do
just wondering will you be doing a video on how to the stages of setup and how to draw in depth with backtention and how you load and control your back / sholder blades
Looks like your draw is relaxing (arrow moving forward, slight breakdown) before you release, is this your intake also, or ??? am I just being too critical ?
Have you, or has anyone watching ever tried out the horn riser with a set of recurve limbs? I'm currently looking for an ilf hunting style bow for 3D target shooting and I quite like this riser...
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-X6Y2FltoKMs.html Not exactly the same model, but the 25" Target ILF riser is pretty much the same thing with recurve limbs.
Thanks for the video, it made me want to purchase this bow. I'm having trouble trying to find find a legitimate looking place to buy this bow though. Would you have a recommendation?
I'm a big guy at 6'3 and having a tough time finding a bow in stores and online. One that won't break the bank bc it's only for practice. I was looking for a longbow with a shelf possibly a recurve maybe around 72 inches with a draw of 35ish. It's not easy. Do you have any site recommendations? I have found some aroud 68-70 with 28 draws, do you think that would make that big of a difference for me?
D J 6'3" and a 35 inch draw? Unless you're drawing to your ear, or meant 7'3", I'm raising my eyebrows at the 35 inch draw. Anchor point should be about in line with the sternum, easier to sight, especially if using sight. This would make your ideal draw length between 28.5" and 31.5", depending on the length of your arms (armspan÷2.5). A 70-72" bow is plenty long. Recurves are not like compounds with a hard stopping point; they can stack when overdrawn, but I think that would take about 36", with a safe draw length of 42 inches or so. 28 inches is just standard because most draw lengths are under 30 inches.
D J that sounds more likely, but dang, that makes your armspan 7 feet long...you are a tall one. I still think long bow limbs (that space is intentional) making a 70-72 inch bow, you'll be fine.
at 03:49 he said it was a total of 64 inches with the 17 inch riser. So with a 25 inch riser you would have a 72 inch bow. Probably have to make a custom string.
i did not get some of the attachments that you described that you showed me no little attachments no gothic stuff at all and this i bought got no sleaves and i ordered the whole bosen horn package a little let down i expected at least the base plate on the riser it just looked dark grey not anyway impressive just what i would class aS A STRAIGHT FORWARD BOW WITH THE ILF OPTION
I'm not someone to talk on how to do archery for a matter of a fact you've been helping me on facebook recently. But I've noticed before your release your not keeping tension and your arrow back and arrow both move forward slightly, just thought id say =0)
noticed same thing in multiple videos arrow is on the creep forwards not sure what weight the limbs are but maybe too heavy or there stacking real bad certainly looks to struggle with the weight either way i guess working on anchor & pulling through the shot with proper back tension will help also that grip is the same on one of there other bow risers i had decent grip to be honest and build quality on the riser
I'm not sure if it's the length of the bow or not, but it seems like your arrows are now much shorter than before. Also, do long hybrid limbs on a 17" ILF riser make it 64"? I know long recurve limbs on a 17" riser makes about a 62" bow.
Yeah I’m sure they are fine limbs, but with ILF the limb pad angle of the riser can necessitate a higher brace height for the limbs to be vertically stable. It looked like the string was touching the belly of the limbs.
I know some hybrid flatbow limbs have a distinct gap between the string and the limb. Some makers tend to make the gap much less noticeable (take the Timber Creek Cottonmouth for example; the first gen had a discernible gap while the second gen has a very small gap). I think this bow falls into the latter of the two, where the string rests closer to the limbs without actually touching the limbs.
i have been watching the bosen horn bow that has been bought in china and have seen a distinct quality difference in what i was sold and what others have gotten even though i bought a bosen bow just like the rest of you I never got the same quality you got the limbs that i was expecting I don't know of my limbs are as high a quality that I was expecting i know the riser is not. what I saw on the advertisement there were pieces I know were missing and the design that should have been on my limbs was missing as well i paid a good price and did not get the service i was expecting everything i got was just about adequate not exceptional even the string was not that good i have better that i made my self and that was almost perfect i have had bows from china and they were exceptional and they were nowhere near the price I paid for the bosen horn bow
In what division a bow like that is shot? If that goes to barebow division, then you're better off with almost anything with real recurve limbs, I guess. If it's for hunting, nothing can beat even a cheap compound bow.
define performance, from what I've seen longbows are more forgiving but they lack the speed of a recurve it's more about preference and what everyone is used to "shoot"
I was refering to arrow speeds. A good example here. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Kmy7sBxdedk.html check this guys videos out. He has pretty equal arrow speed results between the A&H ACS r/d longbow (with the first shot exceeding 200 fps) and a blacktail elite recurve. Only 2 pounds draw weight difference. Using similar arrow setups. Was mainly replying to OP's comment about being always better off with recurve limbs for barebow and clarifying that's not necessarily the case
