AFarchery Traditional Bow Turkish Bow Handmade Recurve Bow，Hunting Longbow，Horsebow

A little worried about the limb twist issue after reading some reviews. Also not sure about the fiberglass quality of the black version. After one month and about 3000 shots I can say it's still a great, accurate, intuitive bow, and it still looks and works like in day one.Also I was a bit concerned about the durability of the leather like arrow pass but it turned out to be incredibly tough, same if not more durable than the white bone inlay arrow pass on my other af archery tatar bow. 3000 shots only smoothed a bit on the arrow pass, no sign of wearing out.

This bow at 48” at first sight makes you think it’s a kids bow. Mine is 40# @ 28”. Being small there was for me a learning curve. But I have put around 7000 arrows through it and it just gets better every day. But there is a learning curve. It shoot fast and flat for a traditional style bow. 30 yds is the max that I shoot it. But after 40+ years of shooting I think for me that’s far enough. Good bow worth the money. Fun to shoot and can be a tack driver.

I got the 40# model and it measures 41# at 28'' when I measure. This bow is a pleasure to shoot. The draw is very smooth upwards to 29'', which is to my ear with a thumb draw. It does draw to 32'', but starts stacking after 29'' with 30-31'' being pretty stiff (but also adding poundage and fps.)The hand shock is very mild and essentially non-existent if you use proper khatra.The bow is very light, and with the smooth draw, I can shoot this all day. It is a pleasure to use. However, as a light, short bow, it is pretty unforgiving for errors in technique and release. I would not recommend this for someone who has not used a horsebow before.Some have mentioned in reviews that the string does not stay on. This has not been a problem for me as long as you check that the string remains within the string bridges during stringing. Stringing a horsebow is a little different so it may be worth reviewing some guides on YouTube before trying to string.

Bow looks nice, feels good in hand, but unfortunately I can't shoot it, because they didn't include the string in the box, so now I have to order a string to even attempt to shoot it. 😢Edit...upon closer inspection the back of the bow is already delaminating before it was even strung. kinda scared to even try and shoot it if I had a string.Stitching in the riser is very uneven.

is worth every penny you spend
