Han Bow Long Fibreglass by AF Archery - Review 

hahaha

Same for me, picked it up last Tuesday, finally got to shoot it on Saturday, and I absolutely love it.

i bought this bow two years ago. my first bow and i still use it and love it. the whipping has had to be glued back on but for the price its a great bow. highly recommended. my 2nd bow, an alibow Kheshig is on its way:)

I love it, totally recommend, bought it 1 year and half ago, learned thumb release with it, theres is not comming back now :)

I have used the TopArchery version of the Han bow, it's basically the same as this but siyahs are a little cheaply made, no varnish and the edges were sharp enough to cut part of the string so I stopped using it because of that. But it was similarly very creaky like this bow, maybe it's just the shape of the Han bow and the whipping that makes the noise like this, kinda puts me off though. Regarding Alibow, their Fiberglass bows are amazing, I purchased a Manchu Yarha from them and it's amazing for the price, and very flexible, no noise. I did have some gripe with the first Yarha I got because the top siyah was slightly bent. They said this couldn't have been an issue with their bowmaking because they carve the siyah after they attach it to the bow, so it must've been from continuous pressure during shipping, but they sent me another which was excellent. The Kheshig from Yarha is one of the most amazing bows I've ever used, the wide limbs make accurate shooting SO easy, and I really loved that bow so much until about 2 weeks ago I happened to take it out just for a pull in my room, as I have been doing during lockdown, and suddenly the back delaminated in my hands as I was at about 32" and the whole resin part of the handle split away from the body, was very shocking, never experienced that with a bow. I'd only used it about 3-4 months in total, once per week. It was quite a shocking experience and I was very upset for a while, but I'm currently in contact with Alibow now who've said they have warranty on their bows, I am awaiting their verdict after sending them photos of the delamination - but honestly, the Kheshig is genuinely such a beautiful and balanced bow that I would still recommend anyone to buy it for their arsenal. Maybe if another Kheshig split on me I'd be put off after that, but it's great enough for me to go back and get another without a doubt. Hope that's good info for you!

Update, I bought the afarchery han bow and I am enjoying it I've only had the chance to shoot it about a 150 shots but I like it much better then the classic western style recurve bow.

I've got the AF Kadesh. Shoots wonderful and she loves to be shot at long range. Maybe that's just me

@@Daylon91 yes I've had the kadesh for a year now, great bow. I plan to get the Alibow Keshig next. Cheers!

some strings are quite aggressive :D

He needs to learn Ishi Style ;)

Kind of :)

Sure

When someone will send me one, I will

Nahh.. bowyer andalan indonesia.. 😂

Happened to me too once hahaha enjoy shooting

@@ArminHirmer Mine came with the sharp tips chip on the end of the limb. Would it be safe to file it off and sandpaper?

I bought my 1st bow 1 month ago.. and the unstrung mode is very similar with this bow. The price?🤔 Only about 35 usD

bamboo from Sarmat Archery o Alibow

@@ArminHirmer I ordered some bamboo Manchu arrows from Sarmat, but I cannot find non bamboo wooden manchu arrows. Traditionally my sources all say that they used poplar/birch instead of bamboo for some reason. I just wanted to do as was done because I tend to think they had a good reason for doing it. I'll have to email alibow and ask them if they'll make some special fletching for me at least. I'm sort of new to all of this.

The very long draw Chinese bows used lots of different arrow materials, depending on time period, region and the use of the bow. Poplar and birch arrows were absolutely on the list, usually barrel tapered and quite thick. This made them heavy but streamlined, great for piercing deeply through armour or big game hunting. The barrel taper made them stiffer for a given overall arrow weight, which probably helped with some of the crazy heavyweight bows they used. It wasn't just the Turks and English using mega bows, Chinese right up there with them in bow power. Accordingly, unless you're hunting large animals or have a problem with armoured invaders on your front lawn, arrow material is a matter for your tastes and budget.

yes they all look similar, some have a bit longer siyahs, some other angles, but the basic design is the same

Armin Hirmer Hello Armin can u do a vid on the Qinghai horn bow from ali bow? Greeting from china.

@@麤鬻彠爨軉灪 I will get the qinghai, but I think not a hornbow, a laminated one

Armin, thanks for the review! I found AF bows on Amazon today and was debating the 70 Han bow, and here's your review of the long Han!

would be 185grn, guess no chance to get that light weight arrows. take some light carbons - will still be 300grn

What about Aluminium arrows (they're heavier) on thumb draws?

@@johnnyj.817 I don#t like them, but many horsearchers use them

Hi. Do they offer it in that # would be fore sure 65# or a bit more

New Han design is now $74.

good news. sometimes they crack at the beginning... but hey they replaced it. nice. enjoy shooting

That's bad

go with 10gpp, so roughly 400grain

@@ArminHirmer thank you

when I get my hands on one again I will do a comparison

You avoid getting scratches from the feathers

Hi. The yarha would make sense if you plan to go with long draw. If you think 30-32” is enough then I would go with bows like the his khan or Tatar by Alibow. Don’t forget vouchercode Armin 10 and you get 10% off your first order

@@ArminHirmer Thanks for your reply! I appreciate it.

Turn your head and look over your shoulder and lean forward. Should work

Only while nocking, as the fletching will strike the bow. Rest is normal

@@ArminHirmer thanks 🎯🙏🏼

Hi. I did not shoot the bow very often, but it still works perfectly. for the price point it will be hard to find something cheaper or better

@@ArminHirmer Thanks, thought it seemed pretty decent best I can tell but I have weary little background in archery so thought it best to ask someone who knows what they are talking about

usually top when you mean the center serving, when you mean the overall string, then the longer one down

Thank you very much love your videos USA Tennessee prepper

It is really nice for a beginner to get knowing archery by using it.

Fransoir Benoit how??

Fransoir Benoit how is the longevity

Is it true, that when i shoot from such a bow archer paradox will take place? If yes, then I need less stiff arrows. (Sory for my English)

@@manuvilks8057 depends how you shoot, thumb release no problem, three finger might be a problem. spine and weight depends on the daw weight of your bow.

@@ArminHirmer for example, 30# draw weight

Watch Martin Sporri Combat Archery Vids.

both great bows for beginning, depends on your draw length you think you will have. tatar draws a little shorter but is fully enough

@@ArminHirmer I measured and have a 28.8 in draw length. I'm probably going to start with a 25# bow. I like both, but the larger bow does seem more appealing.

yes glued and then twine wrapped around, vey common technique and it works

then watch Lars Anderson videos, not mine - as simple as that

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you!

Why don't you do any?

Simon- Why don't you do a video standing on your head juggling penguins? I'd like to see that- not some boring comments ;p

@@hammerstonestudio3436 My comment wasn't meant as an insult, sorry if it came across as one ;)
