Just got my Bodnik Longbow. Silky smooth, extremely quiet, and amazingly accurate. I've been shooting my whole life, and of all the recurves and longbows I've owned, it's my favorite. Thank you for the wunderbar bow.
Henry I am in Love with my Quick Stick I just got last Friday . So I ordered a Slick Stick today to take Deer Hunting this coming Fall 2021. Thanks again Henry for making a Fine Now and Product to Shoot and Hunt with...
Henry, I’m a huge fan of your work! I wish your stuff was more readily available here in the States! I’ve been an avid longbow shooter my whole life, and that my friend, is a beautiful bow!
i know Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a method to log back into an Instagram account? I stupidly lost my login password. I appreciate any help you can give me!
@Louis Casen Thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Took my new Bodnik Longbow out to the range for the first time today. Very pleased with how it shoots. Shouldn't be surprised, I've had the same experience with all of my other Bodnik bows (Quick Stick, Redman, Slick Stick, Mohawk Chief, and Mohawk Hunter). Keep up the good work Henry.
Henry I have 3 Super Shrew 2 Hybrid longbows and i just recently acquired 2 Bodnik Longbows and I m finding it hard to put the 66” Bodnik Longbow down !!!! Smooth,hand shock free and so accurate !!! As a matter of fact i just donated my Bear and Striker longbows to a local archery club and Junior programs as your bows are easily a cut above all the rest!! Thank You
Absolutely love your videos mate😍... respect you greatly as an archer 🙌....I'm debating on a longbow I'm thoroughly impressed with the one in this video 😁... I'd definitely love to be in the position to try out different bows but unfortunately I'm in Australia I'll look into investing in one of your beautiful bows mate....cheers Steve'
Hi Henry I loved the video and read the comments and noted the one from Bow Hunter . Its sounds like he has the same model of bodnik Longbow that I have , and love by the way, mine doesn't have the micata strip or the maple accents , my accents seem to be bamboo. and mine has bamboo core with clear glass applied over it without the alder laminate serial no KA30AOA74 . I purchased mine when they first came out , so it sounds to me that Bow Hunter has one of the earlier Bodnik like mine. Its a great bow to shoot and I enjoy it so much that I was inspired to buy a Bodnik Quick Stick as well . I would be interested to know if I am correct about mine being an earlier model .
Sounds to me funny Even the serial no is no combination we are using during the last years. Accent strips are always with Mycarta in the center and maple or bamboo beside. 🤔 Like to see a pic if possible Also from the description at the bow
Henry Bodnik - Archery and Adventures I’ll get pictures as soon as I can perhaps I am misreading the serial number I’ll send photos of that as well , thanks for the quick reply I am sure the error is mine. Regards Gary
I think what I thought were A’s in the serial number were 1’s so the serial No would be K 18010174 the writing on the limb says Bodnik Bows Bodnik Longbow 66” 40# @ 28” hope that sounds better I’ll add some pics as soon as I figure out how to do it
Excellent video👌👌👌. I'm extremely happy with my Bodnik longbow🏹🏹🏹 Do you think I could use 8 train string for 42lb bow? Did it improve the bow's characteristics?
@@henrybodnik-archeryandadve2111 Thank you for your answer, Henry😊😊. Of course, only the whisper string👌👌👌. I just have 10 strand. So I guess I'll order 8 strand . It's a little easier and I think the speed will increase. If I'm not wrong.🤔
It’s a nice bow, and I’m thinking about getting one, however I’m not sure it qualifies as a longbow under Archery GB rules as it’s got a shelf and doesn’t have a D shape limb, like an English longbow 🤷♂️
Hello Henry . First off let me say those are beautiful bows.i am a beginner and watched a lot of vids on here . A lot of people say if the bow leans to the right the arrow will go right and same for the left ? But I see you lean yours to the right and are still accurate ?
Yes of course! To cant the bow will not effect the point you will hit for an instinctive archer. Of course if they are right if they are using an aiming system like string walking or Gap. For instinctive archers and bowhunters it’s helping to have a clear view and to take the bow aside the animal in your view.
Ist der Longbow eine Alternative zum vielgepriesenen Shrew- Bow , wenn man jetzt nicht nur Recurve schießen will, was Schußruhe und unkomplizierte Handhabung betrifft? Will heißen: warten bis der Shrew auf den Deutschen Markt kommt oder ganz ausgezeichnet mit dem Longbow glücklich werden und den Hybriden vergessen. Bin übrigens schon sehr happy mit einem Smoked Amber. Wenn man nur nicht irgendwann immer an Seitensprünge denken würde, ... wenn schon nicht in der Familie dann doch beim Freizeitvergnügen. Sehr interessante Videos und auch nett gemacht, Danke dafür.
Ganz ehrlich! Der Bodnik Longbow ist für einen klassischen Langbogen ein starker Bogen. Der Shrewbow ist aber eine ganz andere Liga hinsichtlich Leistung, Handling und Schusskomfort. Ist ja auch ein Hybrid. Zudem noch der Shrew Bow von Ron LaClair!
Blackfoot is not made by Bodnik Bows! Also a nice shooting bow but of course do not have the features of the Bodnik Longbow. Also do not have the 30 years Bodnik Bows warranty.
@@henrybodnik-archeryandadve2111 im currently shooting the blackfoot, absolutely love the bow. getting ready to purchase your Bodnik longbow. i love your product. i see the dakota is 68". is that the only difference between the dakota and the bodnik longbow? thanks henry
Thomas ari Gibt es Macht aber keinen Sinn Carbon in der 0 Linie einzulegen. Carbon wird absolut überschätzt. Benutzen wir bei Bodnikbows nicht vorrangig.
@@henrybodnik-archeryandadve2111 ok is ja meist um die Arme verwindungssteifer zu machen...

Wobei ich finde dass Carbon auch wiederum schnippischer macht...

@@henrybodnik-archeryandadve2111 Henry, do you plan to introduce carbon weaved limbs onto your recurve or long bow design? Do you plan to introduce a deflex/reflex longbow limbs design?
Barry Lyons Don’t know exactly this rules. Don’t know the divination of arrow rest there. The Bodnik Longbow do have an shelf to place the arrow there. Arrow is not directly at the hand.
@@barrylyons4361 I think you may be confusing this with the English longbow? This is an American flatbow aka longbow. Absolutely fine for NFAS AFB class.
I love my Redman Bow from Bearpaw and i know that Henry prefer the hybrid Bow from shrew. But ITS a little bit Like talking water and drinking wine, when He Talks Like that, about the shrew bow
@@henrybodnik-archeryandadve2111 yes i understand. Maybe i will try a shrew bow next time, when IT IS possible. But your "material" and your Vision about traditionell Shooting is great too.

but 68“ seems to me a bit long

You forgot to mention the sight window shape, it fades gradually - and has not distinct edge at the top. Quite a few federations require this.
Thanks to mention
You are right

Hi, is the bow center cut on riser? I like the hybrid longbow design and shoot mostly target. I wish you also do quick stick 66''.
Excellent video👌👌👌. I'm extremely happy with my Bodnik longbow🏹🏹🏹 Do you think I could use 8 train string for 42lb bow? Did it improve the bow's characteristics?
Yes
Shooting 8 strand string by myself up to 55 lbs.
But recommending highly to use Whisper String.

Is the dakota or the bodnik longbow more suitable for 32" drawlength? Or should i try something else with this drawlength?
Wondering if the draw length Bodnik uses is true to deepest part of handle or AMO with 1 3/4 inches added?
Measuring at the front of the handle. ATA Standard offering both possibilities

Hi Henry that’s a beautiful bow. What’s the max draw length on it?
No max draw length but comfortable up to 30“.
@@henrybodnik-archeryandadve2111 sweet thank you! I just gotta find where I can order one.

Lote of vender and glas make heavier the limbs so far slower, as Wells as the long riser males the limbs stack
Don`t getting you content 100% but of course with the glass you are 100% right.

Can not use this bow under Archery GB longbow rules. Must not have an arrow rest.
