Testing my new recurve bow which I bought from AliExpress for around €60. This bow is really good for a the price. 50lbs power is plenty for me but the kids are struggling to pull the string :) Enjoy! www.aliexpress...
I just bought a Martin Jaguar elite 40 pound bow almost a week ago , I haven’t got it yet but when I do I’m going to start shooting from my neighbors back deck into my yard , it’s around 25 yard , then I’m going to move up to 30 yards then 40 yards . I know , I know people all over say you can,t shoot a recurve over 20 yards with accuracy but I’ve seen Kramer Ammons shoot a recurve well over 40 yards with accuracy on RU-vid so I know it can be done . This whole summer I’m going to be shooting 100 arrows a day & get tight grouping from 10 , 20 , 30 , & 40 yards moving up only when I get a very tight grouping 3 times in a row . I plan to maybe hunt hog in a few years , I have to have a total hip replacement in around 6 months or so & it takes around 2 years to get back to normal .
Man are you talented with that bow. I ordered the same 50lb bow from toparchery and I really like it. Only issue I had was the serving coming apart on the top end-loop. But toparchery immediately reached out and sent a new one! Great customer service.
You are one very good archer. I didn't know shooting at 10m is that far. I want to start archery and your video gives me a good glimpse of how 50lbs draw weight is like. Thank you and your archery skill is really good.
From personal experience i can tell you that 50lbs is to heavy for almost anyones first bow. Ive been shooting for a couple years now and im just starting to get good. Why, you might ask? Because my first bow was 45lbs. So as to put this in perspective, im 6'4", 205lbs with a 28.5" draw(narrow shoulders). Im no weakling. The thing is that the muscle groups used to pull a bow are muscles that arnt really used for much else in day to day life. I unknowingly was fighting that bow. My form suffered as a consequence. It was so frustrating trying so hard to get better and having piss poor results. Finaly, i got back into the gym, started lifting with a heavy emphasis on traps, lats and rhomboids. As the bow started to "feel" lighter, my shooting improved. Now i shoot a 50lbs bow and shoot it well. If i had started out a little lighter than i did, i would be an even better shot today. Dont let ego get in the way of learning the fundamentals the way i did.
"WTF" that was outstanding.. I'm gonna be starting soon I get my first 50lb bow I ordered it yesterday.. I'll be that good in a few months.. With my eyes close. And I watch a lot videos but after watching your video now I can't wait. Thank you for the inspiration
I'd start with a lighter bow if you're a beginner. 50lb is too heavy for most starters even if they are well built physically. It can make you tired easily, develop bad form and can ruin the fun of archery.
@Google User Thanks for the kind words. Now, at this point of time, Im finding the 50lbs a bit too powerful, especially for target shooting. Im thinking of buying another recurve bow with 40lbs power. It will be good enough to introduce archery to my friends when I have them over in the garden.
I shoot and hunt with a 45. It’s a lot of weight tbh. 405 squat woopie. I got a back that’s 2x wide. Most range or target shooters will shoot 25-30. 50 is whatever but it’s still hard on your body. Unless you are 285 lbs and just a big dude.
@@EjderAdventures I started out with an 25# barnett sports FLT that I bought from a garage sale 3 years ago. They claimed it was an recurve but truly it was an fiberglass longbow with an shelf on both sides so it experienced the archer's parrelox? I'm working on an quality backstop in my backyard now for my new bow, if it ever arrives, possibly another month. Had to sell my Evo NXT31 (at a loss) to help buy my new bow. No shooting for two and an half months now. 🏹😭👍
@@theamazinggoldfish8713 Well, you are doing the right approach starting out small and evolving. Before I bought my current 50lbs, I was happy with the 20lbs and having fun with the kids. But after a while, you do get the urge to upgrade. Safety and awareness always comes first, a good backstop is a must have. I checked your your Evo NXT31 bow and that one would be a dream come true for me! :) Enjoy your new one when it arrives. 🎯👍
@@EjderAdventuresit took a while but my special ordered Supra Focus XL with EM cams "finally" came. The bow only has 60# limbs instead of the 70# limbs of the NXT31, but with three turns remaining it seems every bit as fast, maybe faster. Had to get 85% (special ordered) letoff module because my DL is only 26"ish so l don't get the letoff stated due to DL. My backstop is now complete, plywood on large pallets covered by aluminum siding from an old mobile trailer. Shot the bow three times now and am loving it but the feel is different and will take time to get used to. 🏹🤠👍
I’m whitetail hunting with a #45 I’d like a 50-60 lb bow but I doubt I could comfortably shoot 50 arrows at 100%. I can shoot 20 arrows at 100% & probs 10 more at 80% Plus the Minnesota cold makes it difficult.
first shot was a god damn sniper shot! could you test if the draw strenght is true? i find it hard to belive that the kid could pull 50lbs so effortless. I have a 50lbs bow, and my fingers really hurt after shooting it a few times, even with the leather edit: i just now saw he had a diffrent bow :D
Great video! It looks for me as though you are not pulling the full 50lbs of draw weight since it does not look like you are reaching the full draw of 28 inches which I assume would give you the 50lbs. Personally I would anchor your draw hand middle finger right in the corner of your mouth , that will give you more stability and you will find that if you keep anchoring in the same spot and preforming the same routine I believe that you will shoot even better! The bow looks fantastic for it's price , keep it up!
Chinese bows are measured at 26 inches. I had the same toparchery bow as my first bow but 30lbs and with my 28 inch draw length it was 35lbs at the fingers
did you messure the poundage on this bow? just got little suspicious when the kid did draw it didn't look that heavy or maybe he is super strong. It's not uncommon that sellers on Aliexpress lie about details.
@Mre942 the one my son was shooting is a different bow which is 20 or 30 lbs, can't remember. You are right, the 50 lbs is still quite heavy even though 3 years have passed! 🙂
Hi pravnik66. My son was using his own bow which is only 30lbs. His arrow didnt stick thats why I said his shot needed a bit more power. My 50lbs bow has more than enough power for me..
Thanks for the concern my friend. I do have a finger guard on the string which helps a lot. Without that its very painful and dangerous as you said.. www.aliexpress.com/item/32953571339.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.40882196DhxGzn&algo_pvid=46c3fe56-ff9e-485e-956d-6a82cab719df&algo_expid=46c3fe56-ff9e-485e-956d-6a82cab719df-31&btsid=0b0a556c16086609761547280e8b31&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_
@@TariasNiniel This is my only bow so i couldnt really compare it anything else. It feels quite strong and stiff when pulling but gives the expression that you are in control and wont miss the target. I have a finger guard www.aliexpress.com/item/32887564297.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dzKquR5 that helps with pulling. Hope that helps friend
I notice you shoot bare-handed. I prefer this also but I afterward I do notice some numbness in middle finger of draw hand (40 lb recurve). Will this toughen up over time or should I make sure my technique is sound?
@brovold72 I have tried different finger guards but for me, they don't feel comfortable. Takes away the feel of control after release. I have this thing on the string which helps.. www.aliexpress.com/item/32953571339.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.5456317fX3sqBQ&algo_pvid=dcb737db-cd7d-4662-9da8-028fca34ebf8&algo_exp_id=dcb737db-cd7d-4662-9da8-028fca34ebf8-0&pdp_ext_f=%7B%22sku_id%22%3A%2210000015282269896%22%7D Shooting bare handed used to hurt a little but Its ok now so I would say technique first. All the Best
Im pretty strong. But the last time ive shot an arrow was elementary school. 25 now. Should i get a 50lb bow or go lighter? I just want some power so its fun to shoot with
@apollo4192 To be honest I find 50lb quite strong. Just uploaded my lastest video showing me shooting a 30lb Compound Bow which I borrowed from a friend. İf I was to get a bow now, I would definitely go for a 40lb. Perfect balance and power.. good luck my friend 👍
@@ghecot4576 you can check them here in detail. These are what I've got 👍 www.aliexpress.com/item/32876800254.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4d4f5Co8
@Juan Carlos Rodrigues I agree. When I ordered it, I thought it would be good for long range shooting or even hunting but after using my kid's bows (30lbs) for target shooting, I'm finding this one to be too powerful. My next one will be a 40lbs. Enjoy and stay safe 👍
@@EjderAdventures I shoot 30 lbs myself and I like it very much. I would say € 1035 for a bow is not cheap. Pulling the string all day without getting tired. Everyone's preference, of course. I was just curious.
