    I bought this bow in #42 and I really enjoy shooting it (also after Mac's tactical archery review!). I draw 31" and don't really notice any stacking. I did replace the handle with custom leather and I installed ray skin on the arrow pass which improved the performance for me. I also put fur string silencers on the string as I prioritize silence. Overall, this bow has performed very well for me even down to -30C while small game hunting. No regrets. I really enjoy your videos and hope you make more!

    • @agamagreen
      @agamagreen  Рік тому +2

      Hi Leverguns!
      How strong is your bow and what style do you shoot this bow? Indeed, I don’t feel noticeable vibration while shooting… I’m doing Khatra which leads to no feeling of vibration at all. I can imagine, that you feel a little if you shoot mediterranean style…
      Regarding speed: yeah, that’s a tricky topic! We all use different arrows and not seldom archers use lighter arrows for speed tests, whereas I usually use heavier arrows… This Tatar bow has an average good speed compared to others, but it’s not a speed monster.
      You can enhance speed by a special way of shooting the Turkish style, pushing the bow at release forward. I can’t do this properly, so I can’t show you, unfortunately…
      Hope, you enjoy your little Tatar bow nevertheless!

      Yes, the strength of a mass production bow can vary, usually around +/- 2 lbs. Due to weather conditions the strength can also vary and the scale of the bowyer can measure with a little deviation to mine also.
