Hunting Longbow by AF Archery - Review 

Always impressed that Armin can switch from thumb ring to 3 finger release . Nice bow for a great price.

I bought this a year ago when you reviewed it as " af American longbow ". I like it 👍🎯❤️🇺🇸

Perfect timing lol i literally JUST looked on youtube to see if anybodys reviewed this

still making useful, interesting & helpful vids, after all these years. keep 'em coming Armin!

The audio comes in crystal clear.

Hello, good review as always! but why did you stop making an information table with all bow dimensions, speed, etc.? it was very helpful.

I might borrow that idea and make myself a quiver.

Great video Mr. Armin! Thanks for sharing! That bow has a good sound to it.

I've just brought a Ash War bow made the same way as the 15th war bows are made, by Boston Bows based in UK.

As always… Even if something is not my type, Armin is able to sell it to me 😂😂😂 Thx again for the infos, quality as always…

Beautiful bow, but... I am not expert in building bows and never build a laminated bow and i see a flaw. And that is when the bow is stringed, you can see the bend in the limbs is not balanced, it bends more near the riser, wich means that area is weaker than it should be. And that's why it vibrates so much, because most of the potential energy wich the bow can store is in the section close to the riser and this makes the rest of the limb hold alot of material wich is not used. And i see this in many youtubers who build bows and many comercial bows. This flaw can be eliminated if you either taper the strip of fiber glass wich is pretty hard to do. Or the strip of wood in the middle, the core wich is also hard but not imposible if you have a good table saw and some jig. Having a tapered core would make the bow much more stable and balanced. The way they taper the limbs is tapering the sides of the limb, but that is not enough. So, an ideal bow would have tapered core, tapered sides, tapered fiberglass faces, but the only way to have such thing is to find someone to custom that for you. Or make it yourselfs, the comercial bows are made in the easiest process for them to manufacture a lot of bows fast. Does this make this bow bad? No, is still a good bow, although i would like to see more in these comercial laminated bows a nice round curve in full draw on the limbs. I bet that if you were to over draw this bow till it's breaking point, that's the place where it will fail, near the handle. I've seen self bows long bows, wich have much balanced limbs with a nice round curve in draw, wich are made with hand tools and no power tools, more than i see in modern laminated bows made with expencive modern tools. I mean cmon guys, you have all this technology at your feet and hundreds of years of history of bow making, do better.

Looks like the OAK RIDGE BELI LENGTHY of SSA archery .I admit on this bow the woods look better .

thank you

Not a bow I'd buy but can see it being a good kit for those who don't own a longbow but want to get on for cheap. Another example of a western style trad bow that is a better buy from Asia than from America. This kit from AF would be 300$ or more here in the stats and that's just the bow. Wouldn't get the other things AF gives with this bow. Great review as always.

Hallo Armin, Hast du das Video in Deutschland gemacht? Oder auf Malta?

Bow has a nice bend to it. Very good "d" shape a draw. Only problem is I have a 32 inch draw. I practiced at 28+ but it feels uncomfortable having my draw hand in front of my face. O to be shorter.....not.

That they name this "Recurve bow" on the amazon shop page leaves a bit of a untrustworthy feeling about the manufacturer ... but anyway, pity this was not available when I was looking for a 62-64" bamboo limb hybrid longbow 2 years back :-) could have saved a lot of money ....

Nice but 35 pounds is for small game rabbits and such good for target shooting

Nice bow! But 10 pounds shy for the minimal requierements for Hunting and you must be a certified hunter. In Austria and Germany it is not allowed to hunt with a bow. And IF there is ONE person, that I trust to shoot precise enough, AND to know that he hits the spot, AND does NOT shoot, if he feels he wouldn't kill with this shot - fair hunting practice -, it is You Master Hirmer!

Very american!! Reflex deflex,,but again,,stop outshooting us please,,your ridiculous 😆
