Received this bow as a bday present from my wife. It's my first and only bow, going on 2 years now, learned to shoot on it, 100% self taught. Tried positions/techniques I saw in movies (felt wrong), then what I saw in photos (grabbing under the arrow knock) and went better, but felt a big loss in power. Also, started off with 3 fingers, and noticed a higher risk of twitching the string, then went to 2 fingers draw, wich was better but destroyed my fingers. Finally went back to 3 fingers draw, got a sight for the bow, Decathlon 32" 300 arrows, and I'm really happy with it. I did shoot a couple of other bows, successfully after just a few "adjustment" shots, but I prefered my own. There is a possibility that it was more of a psychological preference. So overall, I love the bow, just tested the left to right balance that you were unhappy about, and mine doesn't have it. So maybe the one you've got has a slight manufacture issue. It is heavy, but I don't have a problem with that, last week I had a 2 hours shooting session, stopped only because it got dark. Many thanks for the review, looking forward to more clips from you. All the best.
Thanks for the review. I got one from a thrift store. No factory box. 26# So I tried it and found it to be "rubbery". My niece wants a bow, so I thought maybe trick it out some ... Got inexpensive parts off eBay and went for it. Plunger, Flemish twist string, Mist 3-pin sight, and most important - a 0.75 kilo iron "compensator/stabilizer". That last bit was what settled the whole thing down. All the hand shock is gone and it shoots OK. The added weight lower settled and balanced the bow. It no longer wants to rotate side to side or backward. I have gorilla arms so draw 30+". The bow does not "stack" at 30.5" draw. Used my knife to take the mold marks off the grip and added a deer skin grip pad. Shot it a few hundred times and came to see what they are going for. Limbs are not laminated so no chance of buggering things manually stringing it. Will give it to my niece this weekend coming up 🙂
At my club, every year, we have someone come with this bow...it never goes well. The beginner feels cheated on his/her learning progression and in very short time they realise that the "cheap" is actually very expensive because now they have to get another, proper, bow.
@οὐτόπος when i saw the price listed at decathlon with 119$ i checked the german website ... they sell it for 49.99€ even if you convert the currency you land way short of the 119..... for 50€ youll never get anything that resembles a beginner bow
i bought it for 50€ in romania last weekend and for the begin of learn progression and the first arrows its ok. you can shoot with it but handle is not very comfortable.
I have this bow. It is my first and only bow, so i cant compare with other bows. The riser is very comfortable for me. The feel is like you are holding a pistol. I use it for casual shooting, not very often, but the case/stand is extremely useful. Nu Sensei did not show the correct way to put arrows at the stand, but if it works is ok. The correct way is to put up to six arrows at 90 degree in the one end, you can use it even in closed position. Pretty handy if you want to shoot not at home and you have to walk there.
I have the same bow, i totally agree with the verdict. In addition, that first slapshot is quite common when you have strung your bow. And the arrowrest... bloody flimsy. But i have practiced with it for a year or so and it works for the start.
i brought one, its a nice bow... super nice for the price! just do some tweaks, first use a sand paper and sand that seam out, than if you want glue a wood or a plastic and work on the handle... works superb to me! Thank you! Greetings from Brazil!
Initech was my first bow. I don't think it' s disaster. In Poland we can buy this bow for 50 usd, so it is a good price to first meet with archery :) Thank you for review. Your movies are very intresting and i really enjoy watching your channel ;)
Here in Turkey i bought that bow around 20~30 USD range as my first bow and honestly it made me love archery. I might buy a better bow in the future but it gets the job done as a starter bow. And also as a bigger person (186cm) bow fit my hand easier than it did for the sensei.
Oh finally you did the Geologic review, we call this bow set “divine bow” here in China，of course joking. But it’s really a easy start for beginners, such as me. By the way, would you please do another review of the higher class Geologic bow “club 900”? To see if they did it better? Thank you.🌝
I do own club 900.. I dont know ehy its so hated, ive never held any other olympic recurve than this one.. But i was able to shoot at 70m with it after reaaally long seting of the bow
Got this bow as a gift for a friend. About 50$. We added a bit of material to the grip and it seemed fine. Didn't really notice it's weight either. I guess someone that's seriously into archery migh want something light/comfortable, but for that price, including storage box/stand it's a great deal. Messed around with it for a whole weekend at the price of seing a movie...
I owned one and still having it for fun. Buy it off shelf from decathlon (malaysia). I like to say its a mistake but i thankful coz from it i learn alot. Get me interested with archery , help me practice the basics, knowing what i want and what to buy... no harm to have fun. but if you are progressing in archery - i agree with nu suggestion.
Greetings NUSensei-sama. I have the Geologic Club 700. For beginners it is a nice and cheap bow to start archery. Its a good idea to make review even to cheap bows.
hello there. thanks for the video. I just got a bow like that, but it came with no strings. can you tell me what size of string i can use. i live in Brazil, and we don't have strings replacement available here, so I will have to make one. Thanks again.
Hi sensei, thanks for the dips! I got this product yesterday, and I'm a beginner, it's my First bow and it was the cheapest I could find. The price was 49.95 €(I'm Italian), for that price is more acceptable? I have also bought 6 arrows, 81 cm long, and they cost me a lot! Like 22 €... So, do you know some kind of site or something where I can find arrows for a better price? It's not a problem to spend money for me, but, unly in 4 hours of shooting I broke an arrow and lost another....
I'm trying to use a clicker with this bow (well, the Initech I, same bow but without the fancy case) but the hole is slightly bigger than the standard clicker screw, besides there's no place for the clicker to do the "click" so I can't figure out how...
I had an ILF riser, where after you string up the limbs, the first shot was always the limbs snapping into place. I tried to pull the string a couple of inches and let it go to snap it into place, but it still took one arrow to get the snapping sound of the limbs into place, and it would always startle the other shooters on the line
This was my first bow. For what it cost I can't complain. I got 500 Portsmouth scores on it within a couple of months of completing my beginner course. After that I moved onto a better bow.
Owning this bow, I got into archery. Now I'm looking at the mandarin duck raider with carbon/ foam limbs but I'm struggling to find any reviews on it. Couldn't you make one more exception?
If anyone is seeing this can I know whether the Geologic discovery 100 is good as a beginner bow to be used for target archery. I got the 20# bow for less than 50$ as my starting bow from a reputable store PS: I am not talking about the soft archery set. I use it for actual target archery.
I bough that arch 4 years ago in Spain with 3 arrow. It was great because it costed 60€ at that time new in Decathlon, plus 12€ for the arrows. Right now it's cheaper. I payed only 20€ for it, new, in Wallapop, with the arrows to. So if you can buy it new for 20€ like me for sure it's a good option 🤣, but for the price it has in other countries like he says it's not worth it.
There are always some solid trade offs when buying sub 90-100$(approx) bows. Got several of those cheap ones and the best one that had little issues was Galaxy Aspire for 100$. Since the whole bow here cost 45 English pesos, i would expect even more drawbacks than was described in the video. In a novice scenario i think i would pay the same 45-60 money units for aluminium riser itself.
In the Netherlands you can get a regular beginner bow for 80 euros (100 for full beginner set with 4 arrows, targets and few other things). Bit more money but doesn't require tinkering to make it 'pretty comfortable'. Works well straight out of the box.
@@nvs_official I formed a thicker handle with sculpting clay. After that I wrapped it in cloth tape, covered it with epoxy and wrapped some bow handle tape around it i found on aliexpress. You could also do 2 layers of that tape to start with.
In France this bow can be found really easily. And many parents buy this to their kids (not knowing club can provide bows for beginners), i know clubs often give the kid a beginner bow instead because it's really a uncomfortable and in many occasions parents buy a way too heavy bow
I’ve tried holding this bow many times in a mall. It weighs 2.2 kgs.! The limbs are too hard and not flexible. The grip is uncomfortable and can hurt you once you hold the bow./ Bkk, Thailand
One of these days you are going to wake in the middle of the night screaming "I know what's wrong, I'm not putting in enough back tension!!!" On that day, I will weep with joy...
Bought this bow because of boredom during Covid 19. it was my first bow. lasted me 1 and a half years until today. the upper limb broke 1h ago. :( and here I thought it was because of my inexperience that the bow felt so heavy and unconfortable on the grip. I took a liking to archery, so I'll make sure to buy something better for my second bow.
please make a review about stabilizer such as infitec Fusion EX and Epic Stonic. I really would like to see how much weight it can hold and how its feel overall, thank you
I currently have the Epic Stonic set. If you're shooting over 30 pounds, I really don't recommend it, as it's really flexible, and struggles to hold even the stock weight it comes with (about 2 3/4oz or 80g). It wobbles (yes, actually wobbles) so much that it caused a shoulder injury for me. And it does nothing to dampen vibrations, in fact my bow is quieter barebow than with the rods. I'd say that the Cartel and SF rods are far better budget options. Hope that helps! : )
Yeah, I was unpleasantly surprised. People I shoot with use the Cartel rods, and they're surprisingly stiff. But I can easily bend mine with my bare hands.
I have rather large hands and for me its actually quite comfortable to hold. It doesnt hurt in anyway, yes it is indeed a bit slim but it doesnt annoy me as much as nusensei
Is the archer that makes the bow, not the bow that makes the archer, there is technics to use it in the past 2 years i have worked out it i can shoot 10cm targets at 110meters, that ain't bad sir
That arrow rest looks really cheap. I wonder if it will fall off after a year or two of archery practice? Or perhaps it may get affected by hot and cold weather too?
It will fall off / break pretty soon, friend of mine had it for like ~ 2 months. But year or two is a loong time, not even Hoyt Super Rest lasted that long for me :D
this rest falls off after just a bunch of shot, not year. The adhesive on its back is not ok. You have to fix it with a good glue such as cianoacrilate or epoxy, then is ok
get the cheapest Black Hunter from ebay you can (mine was 85USD with shipping) ... I wonder how this would work of the shelf ... looking at the shape of it, it would shear off fletchings like mad ... Oh, can you SHOW us how to mount a clicker on the Initech ? I doubt you'd be able to ...
I like this video because I bought one at the beginning of the year and then in August joined the local Archery Club. I knew it is very imperfect, but now I understood clearly what it's wrong with it, Thank you. I would like to buy a new bow, with a better grip and better limbs, should I go with the "school bows" (classic wooden riser and white limbs) or look for something more expensive? (Everyone opinion is well accepted)
I started archery very recently myself, so take this with a grain of salt i guess, but here's my take on this: if you know you want to continue doing archery and you can afford an expensive bow, go for the expensive bow. At least that's what i did after shooting the club bows for a few weeks... i went browsing the various (online) archery shops with essentially just 2 conditions i knew my bow should meet: 1. it should be ILF and 2. it should look good. So i chose the most beautiful (to me) ILF riser that still fit in my price range, and i'm very happy with it ^^
If your archery club have "school bows" that you can borrow and train with, then IMO its better to save up and buy a proper ILF bow later. Don't forget that as your draw weight increases, you will need heavier limbs and it could be quite pricey to buy.
andrea fogliacco I and some very experienced club members can highly recommend the Black Hunter. Excellent value for money, but if you think you are going down the Olympic recurve route, then possibly the suggestions here about saving up for a decent ILF riser come into play.
My brother has this bow and it to me it feels very uncomfortable. I have a Mandarin Duck Phantom, and i love it, when comparing these bows the phantom always wins in my book.
he alreadydid a review on the mand. duck phantom which is the f179 junxing only rebranded from mandarin duck what sense should it make to review the 177 it's the same bow same limbs same everything only 2inches shorter f179 is 56 inches f177 54 inches but grizzly Jim did a review on the 177 but they rebranded it some other name
@@cretudavid8622 I'm glad you enjoy it and I'm glad you shoot it well, but if you wanted to progress you'll find you haven't learned the skills you would have on a better bow. 65$ (USD), only gets you so much.
@@Waltham1892 I got 3 bows a horse bow, this bow and a bow made by me (long bow). I kinda know some tricks. My horsebow was 50$ and it's very good. Price it's not all (sometimes)
@@cretudavid8622 Hey, if you enjoy what you are doing don't let me rain on your parade. I shoot Olympic Recurve and I started out with a lot of cheap equipment. I've replaced every bit of it, more than once. So, my experience has made me an advocate for buying workable gear sooner rather than later. Of course, if you don't shoot Olympic Recurve my profound insights might not apply. Enjoy and good shooting!
I have this bow with 32 inches arrows, i can shot in the target (60x60 centimeters) at 25 meters, without clicker, berger button or viewfinder which is not that bad
Finally, haha 😂 The grip is definitely uncomfortable. And the quality was average. The string serving became separated on the nocks for me. Might be that they are too sharp. So my string broke after only a month of shooting. But the bow itself broke on me as well. My bottom limb just snapped after only 3 months. So I would not recommend this bow to anyone. However, the price surprised me. I bought it at Decathlon for only 60 dollars.
@@cretudavid8622 It's not a bad bow. It's good for a beginner. I was blowing out candle flames with it. Perhaps mine had a defect in it. I did get my money back, though 😁

$100 AUD works out to $68 US, so that’s a pretty cheap bow. For $99 US you can get a Galaxy Aspire from Lancaster, which I think is a Junxing F155. That’s a bow you can actually use.
I almost quit archery because of that damned grip, like he says briefly it's very painful on the thumb, especially if you have some kind of arthritis and adding some home-made modification does not help. This bow is also going to emphasize a lot of beginner's typical mistakes. Then I switched to a SF forged+ riser and really began enjoying this sport without pain.
it's not so bad. Don't be scared by comments. These are comments from expert people and they are in the habit of match grade bows, so it is normal for them to find bad aspects on this one. I have this bow and I am a beginner, after all it looks nice and works pretty good. Only downside, it is slightly heavy. They are exagerate in my opinion when they say the raiser is uncomfortable. Best regards from NE Italy ciao

I'd say that the Cartel and SF rods are far better budget options. Hope that helps! : )
+RecurveSM , wow , I never expected that .I thought Epic stonic is equivalent to maxion stab,which is quite nice for beginners.
Yeah, I was unpleasantly surprised. People I shoot with use the Cartel rods, and they're surprisingly stiff. But I can easily bend mine with my bare hands.
How many lbs does these bow Have?
I have rather large hands and for me its actually quite comfortable to hold. It doesnt hurt in anyway, yes it is indeed a bit slim but it doesnt annoy me as much as nusensei
Is the archer that makes the bow, not the bow that makes the archer, there is technics to use it in the past 2 years i have worked out it i can shoot 10cm targets at 110meters, that ain't bad sir
Sir ..my hand shaking to my right side.i don't know why ..please help me..( i am right hand)
That arrow rest looks really cheap. I wonder if it will fall off after a year or two of archery practice? Or perhaps it may get affected by hot and cold weather too?
I remember when I first started archery I gave this bow a try, and by the time it was given to me, the rest was breaking off (and the adhesive too)
It will fall off / break pretty soon, friend of mine had it for like ~ 2 months. But year or two is a loong time, not even Hoyt Super Rest lasted that long for me :D
this rest falls off after just a bunch of shot, not year. The adhesive on its back is not ok. You have to fix it with a good glue such as cianoacrilate or epoxy, then is ok
get the cheapest Black Hunter from ebay you can (mine was 85USD with shipping) ...
I wonder how this would work of the shelf ... looking at the shape of it, it would shear off fletchings like mad ...
Oh, can you SHOW us how to mount a clicker on the Initech ? I doubt you'd be able to ...
I have one of those .The first shot after assemble is really weird JUST as your video shows LOL
So, as far as entry level bows go, the Initech has a good case/bow stand? : /
I have it for 2 years and it's a good bow... I can hit a bullseye from 20m very easy. It's good for beginers
@@cretudavid8622 If you can hit Xs from 20m with ease it's not because the bow is good.
I like this video because I bought one at the beginning of the year and then in August joined the local Archery Club.
I knew it is very imperfect, but now I understood clearly what it's wrong with it, Thank you.
I would like to buy a new bow, with a better grip and better limbs, should I go with the "school bows" (classic wooden riser and white limbs) or look for something more expensive?
(Everyone opinion is well accepted)
I started archery very recently myself, so take this with a grain of salt i guess, but here's my take on this: if you know you want to continue doing archery and you can afford an expensive bow, go for the expensive bow. At least that's what i did after shooting the club bows for a few weeks... i went browsing the various (online) archery shops with essentially just 2 conditions i knew my bow should meet: 1. it should be ILF and 2. it should look good. So i chose the most beautiful (to me) ILF riser that still fit in my price range, and i'm very happy with it ^^
If your archery club have "school bows" that you can borrow and train with, then IMO its better to save up and buy a proper ILF bow later. Don't forget that as your draw weight increases, you will need heavier limbs and it could be quite pricey to buy.
andrea fogliacco I and some very experienced club members can highly recommend the Black Hunter. Excellent value for money, but if you think you are going down the Olympic recurve route, then possibly the suggestions here about saving up for a decent ILF riser come into play.
I still use that box for a stand. Best part of this bow 😂
Commenting only on the physical look of the bow: not bad look. I’ll stick with my KAP, SF, WW risers. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Pse?
How many prise in India please explane me
My brother has this bow and it to me it feels very uncomfortable. I have a Mandarin Duck Phantom, and i love it, when comparing these bows the phantom always wins in my book.
sir i have a question.....How to relaxe your hand when it's shaking?🤔
working up on proper muscles with exercise really helps unless it's something mind-related
is there any foods that I can eat...and dont?

Lo e entendido todo pero al final no se si a dicho adios y que esperar que voy al baño
can you review this bow next Junxing F177 Aluminum Hunting and Fishing
he alreadydid a review on the mand. duck phantom which is the f179 junxing only rebranded from mandarin duck what sense should it make to review the 177 it's the same bow same limbs same everything only 2inches shorter f179 is 56 inches f177 54 inches but grizzly Jim did a review on the 177 but they rebranded it some other name
Initech? I thought Milton burned that down...
That's my bow
My condolences...
@οὐτόπος I got it for 2 years and still works. I can shoot a bullseye from 20 m very easy.... It's not that bad
@@cretudavid8622 I'm glad you enjoy it and I'm glad you shoot it well, but if you wanted to progress you'll find you haven't learned the skills you would have on a better bow.
65$ (USD), only gets you so much.
@@Waltham1892 I got 3 bows a horse bow, this bow and a bow made by me (long bow). I kinda know some tricks.
My horsebow was 50$ and it's very good. Price it's not all (sometimes)
@@cretudavid8622 Hey, if you enjoy what you are doing don't let me rain on your parade.
I shoot Olympic Recurve and I started out with a lot of cheap equipment. I've replaced every bit of it, more than once. So, my experience has made me an advocate for buying workable gear sooner rather than later.
Of course, if you don't shoot Olympic Recurve my profound insights might not apply.
Enjoy and good shooting!
Funny mine came with the arrow rest missing
Please review the Junxing Bows, especially the F155
Oh yes I have a 50 pound one, pretty decent bow, it was as cheap as the one in the video and it has a metal riser.
I have this bow with 32 inches arrows, i can shot in the target (60x60 centimeters) at 25 meters, without clicker, berger button or viewfinder which is not that bad
You can find it for less than 50 euro in any Decathlon store in France
This kind of bow is unwrapped Christmas Morning and in the trash by Easter.
This was my first bow
And how was it
@@fredfour0 Not bad. But my coach did not allow me to use it in the range because it's accuracy was bad
Finally, haha 😂
The grip is definitely uncomfortable. And the quality was average. The string serving became separated on the nocks for me. Might be that they are too sharp. So my string broke after only a month of shooting. But the bow itself broke on me as well. My bottom limb just snapped after only 3 months. So I would not recommend this bow to anyone.
However, the price surprised me. I bought it at Decathlon for only 60 dollars.
I used it for 2 years and it still works I shoot whit it once 2 days... I can hit a bullseye from 20m very easy
@@cretudavid8622 It's not a bad bow. It's good for a beginner. I was blowing out candle flames with it. Perhaps mine had a defect in it. I did get my money back, though 😁
Should have returned it at Decathlon when it broke and demanded a refund
@@aimorallo638 I did. And they refunded me.
I bought this bow, didn't like it. Please suggest a better bow (didn't get the name of the wooden one) an Aliexpress link will be very helpful.

$100 AUD works out to $68 US, so that’s a pretty cheap bow. For $99 US you can get a Galaxy Aspire from Lancaster, which I think is a Junxing F155. That’s a bow you can actually use.
take it out of my backpack and get me some pheasant and fish.....i love it
i paid 20 Dollars on it, its a nice bow.
I almost quit archery because of that damned grip, like he says briefly it's very painful on the thumb, especially if you have some kind of arthritis and adding some home-made modification does not help. This bow is also going to emphasize a lot of beginner's typical mistakes. Then I switched to a SF forged+ riser and really began enjoying this sport without pain.
I want to buy this!!!!!
Why, though? For 100 dollars you can have better.
Cindy Hendriks buy cheap, buy twice.
it's not so bad. Don't be scared by comments. These are comments from expert people and they are in the habit of match grade bows, so it is normal for them to find bad aspects on this one. I have this bow and I am a beginner, after all it looks nice and works pretty good. Only downside, it is slightly heavy. They are exagerate in my opinion when they say the raiser is uncomfortable. Best regards from NE Italy ciao
One thing I have stumbled upon are the limbs. They habe two holes and it seems that you can shorten them!
The price is 50€. You bought from dropship and the Guy must make a lot of money!
This badboy is 50 euros in the netherlands
That's Hawkeye's bow.
Nah, that's a Hoyt Gamemaster II
@@mrhoppy_9724
Or the Hoyt Buffalo.
Aaand THAT'S why you do not buy Stuff for a serious sport at decathlon xD
*This is so damn heavy* HAHAHAHAHAHAA
The limbs are made in France.
That bow costs naw 50 bucks
There are FAR better made and higher quality Beginners bows available for significantly less than the Initech 2.
Pure junk.
