This has been a great series. I have been looking to get a long or recurved bow for a while to shoot along side my compound. Since I have never shot either I didn't want to spend a lot and thanks to this video seires I am pretty sure I am getting a Black Hunter. Thanks for the informative videos
Hmmm.... pair it with slightly Heavier Arrows or a set of String Silencers and I bet that the String Vibration/Twang will go away. Looks a lot like a Bear Recurve that I had awhile back

@@nignog1737 ive shot almost every day since iv had it. Its quiet looks decent (not cheap lookin). I got a 35# draw since im fairly athletic. If it were up to me id get one more at a different weight but my wife will give me an ear full. Ps these things are not toys. Be careful! (I put a hole in my garage door)
Kramer I have made two board bows so far with your board bow videos and I am making two more bows for my sister's for Christmas thank you for making these videos for us beginners
Bought this bow as my first entry into archery, also just to support you and myself I purchased an arm guard and tab from your site. Thanks for the informative and entertaining content, I look forward to more.
Any time I want to buy a new bow, I always make sure to check to see if you've reviewed it or not. Your insight and testing are truly valuable. I'll be buying some accessories from your site, for sure
In the bamboo, those dots you're seeing are tubes for moisture. Those of us who play woodwind instruments (uses a bamboo reed) play a game where you soak the bottom of the reed. After a few seconds, you blow through the reed from the area you soaked. As you are blowing you will see the moisture coming out the top of the reed. This is a test more experienced musicians use to confirm the tubes are not crushed. The reed doesn't do as well in performance if the tubes are closed.
Thanks Kramer for this series and all your content! Your positivity is contagious, and it's awesome when we can tell how excited you are about your craft.
It reminds me of the Browning Wasp. I just got into traditional archery and finally talked my step dad into giving me his old bow (hasn't used it since 90's).
I bought one a few months ago. Love it. I’ve been shooting about 25 years and I’m 31. Kid bows, compounds, trad, home made.. this is my favorite. I wish I could get a 65 pounder though. Want to put a fastlight string on it at see how that turns out. Edit: I bought one of your strings (red/black fastlight) on it and it’s great! Stock string was one inch long so I got yours right at 50” and it’s awesome. Great product! Also put on some of your limb silencers. Wax seal was a nice touch. I think I’ll save it :) Thanks dude.
KRAMER, I GOT MY 54" AIROBOW, YOU WERE RIGHT, I LOVE IT! I PUT LIMBSAVERS, LIMB MOUNTED STRING SILENCER RAMPS, SMALL WOOL BALLS AND STRING LEACHS. SHOOTS VERY QUIET AND UNBELIEVABLY SMOOTH. I PUT A SNAKE SKIN EAGLES FLIGHT QUIVER. THANK YOU! YUP, I WOULD BUY IT AGAIN!!! ALWAYS THUMBS UP!!!
@@dougdistel2267 Yes I wonder. I should have bought this one for my son. I went with a 56 inc top archery bow for him. Maybe I’ll get this 54 for one of my other sons and do a comparison.
This is the Review that got me when looking for a 45 pound bow to shoot to get this bow for my main hunting bow/possible main bow. Now my 36 pound single piece fiberglass dual shooting rest flatbow from 1960-1979 Actionbow 8200 by Actionrod could be my now lesser used bow /one I can lend to right side people if they are with me. The 45 Pound bow I hope I can draw if not I will work into that bow by using the 36 pound bow first.
Found your channel basically to figure out what kind of bow I had in my grandpas old shop it’s been sittin on the wall for a long time tho from what I knew it looks similar to the one in your thumbnail
love your videos dude. when i get a bow im gona buy some of your stuff.. i was wondering why the samick sage takedown wasn't included in this list.. . seems like a good bow from reviews on amazon... cheers
Checking out your presentation I am an archer as well and like to listen to different things instructors like yourself with knowledge about these different bows what do you think about it so I’m all ears!
I just ordered this OEE line recurve. Looking forward to it. I've always made self bows and arrows pure traditional. But frankly tired of failure and string follow and slow performance. Hope to get myself back in tune for hunting this year.
I tried a bow out at Hoover Tactical Firearms, here in Alabama, the other day that looked similar to this. I tried it out cause I thought it was a recurve, but it turned out to be a long bow.
I am really enjoying your channel. I am super excited to go get some red oak and drywalltape. I had a composite browning as a teen, but I cant wait to get some skin in the game.
I know you hear this a lot: Beginners, I want to learn both Recurve and Compound. Which should I start first? Recurve or Compound. I am a firm believer, using the correct tool for the task.
I got this bow due in part to my smaller size and due to wanting a hunting bow for my size at 45 pounds which might be almost too much for me right now but I will eventually get there.
I am enjoying your reviews. But I would like to know what you recommend for Kids. I have a 7 and 11 year old boys. The little guy is 48 inches tall 50 lbs and a draw length of 29 inches. The 11 year old is 64 inches tall, 100 lbs and a 31 inch draw length. Me I am 6'4" 240 lbs and a 34 inch draw. What would you recommend for each of us? We are looking to do this just for fun and something we can do together. Thanks for you help. Michael
Hey Kramer, great vid, can ya do a Yumi bow review/build (they're kinda expensive so maybe just build) too? Doing it traditionally might be a bit hard so maybe try using rattan?
Between this and the SAS maverick which would be your choice. I Would be killing pinecones and 3d targets. If i decided to hunt with it would one be better than the other. Thinking the maverick may be better because its probably a little heavier and therefore smoother however i like the short length of the airobow which would be better in the bush.
Kramer, another interesting metric you might consider when you test bows is Range. How far can the bow still shoot accurately and with penetration? **Just a thought**
I've not been an archer since the mid 80s, I don't know what I'm talking about, but, would a slightly heavier arrow absorb that extra energy that is causing the little vibration after it leave the bow?
I'm new shooting archery and after watching this I decided on the airobow. I really like it so far but is it possible to put sights on it? Or would it even be worth it? I want to use the bow for hunting deer, bear and turkey.
Can you swap the limbs from the recurve to the longbow. To me it looks like the same riser and I thought since you had both, you could test my theory. Thanks for the videos.
So, I used to target shoot as a kid and enjoyed it. I'm looking to get into it again, thanks for the great content, but I have a problem! I have a 31.5" draw based on the finger tip to finger tip divide by 2.5 method. This means I need a 70-72 in bow I believe. But your top bows don't come in these xl sizes that torment my life. Should I just get a black hunter and over pull it or short draw myself with a bent front arm? thanks
i wanna make a bow with a carved design into it. what are some things i should look out for or will carving a design make the bow not realistically usable?
Halp meeee pleasee anybody!!! Kramer?! I've recently gotten into traditional archery and fell in love instantly. My first bow was a black hunter with a 60 lb draw, loved the bow but after about 3 weeks of shooting, the top part of the string broke and dug into the limb snapping it in half. Ordered the a Samick Sage with the same draw weight. The 8th arrow I fired it did the same exact thing. I'm 6'2 fairly stronger than average person with around a 31 inch draw. Did I manage to get bad limbs both times? Is my draw length putting too much pressure on the bow and literally just breaking the bow? Any insight would be great because I am scared to buy a new bow or limbs fearing it will just happen again. Love your company by the way, I have the quiver, tab and arm guard! Thanks for reading anyone! =) =)
Hey man I'm just curious do you ever get did of any of the cheap bows that you test . Like maybe the one's you don't like g r the 54 in with the beautiful handle .lol but seriously I really miss the show that you had that said will it Bow and I like to see some more of it if you got any if you got any links to it I appreciate it send them to me thank you
the black hunter is hard to beat. if you dial it in and add a twist string and some bowjax. I ordered this little 54, here tomorrow, I'll try to remember to come back with a comparison. I do love my black hunters, 30, 40, 50. as much as my Howatt Hunter, that says a lot.
I picked up the black hunter recurve and i would like to use a adjustable nock but i dont know the diameter of the server string can you help me out on what i need to pick up
You should check out the sinoart bridged riser takedown recurve. I was really surprised how well it shoots, but it is a bit heavier than wooden riser bows. I did a short video on my channel the day after I got it and now that I've tuned it shoots amazing. I'm running 500/2016 Easton xx75's With 175gr field points. Cut to 28.5"
I like all of the affordable bow comparisons,....but my opinion would be if your 5 feet tall this bow might work for you. A normal person should have 63 inch bow or bigger. To me the shelf appears flat not curved?
Premiered 7 hours ago and it's already sold out in every poundage and left and right! WOW! I'm finding it impossible to find a Left-handed Bow just to see if I want to pursue archery.
Appreciate the reviews man. Definitely a help in deciding on a first bow. Any chance you might be reviewing the samick sage, it's the most reviewed bow on Amazon and I was wondering if it would also make a good starter bow? Otherwise I'm looking at the black hunter takedown bow you recommend.
Hey Kramer I really enjoy your videos I'm planning on buying a 50# black hunter longbow thanks for ur info and opinions on the bows I watch all ur videos I'm a left handed shooter what ur opinion on this and thanks for ur videos keep up the gd work

how did it go !
@@layanf4963 It went well, for sure, but I ended up moving on to a compound bow. Either way, I love archery.
Great detail, so refreshing to see someone spec out an item and really test it. Well done.

Just found this vid and saw your comment. Are you still just as happy with this bow?
Just bought my first bow because of you having so much fun
I just bought the OEEline Airobow 62 inch. So far so good.
I bought the same one and really like it. I wonder how the 62” would rate against this one piece 54” Airobow
@@dougdistel2267 Yes I wonder. I should have bought this one for my son. I went with a 56 inc top archery bow for him. Maybe I’ll get this 54 for one of my other sons and do a comparison.
Kramer it's great to see these reviews. I have the 56inch top archery, the black hunter all great bows
just got this bow yesterday after seeing this. I like it. thanks.

Hi Kammer, one day can you do a kyudo bow pls?
ngl Krammer is well underrated, like his video quality is good, the detail is rlly thorough and just overall rlly great. 👍👍
Hey man I've just stumbled across you but your videos are great and you are great! Informative and entertaining, keep it up!

You are definitely the Globglogabgalab of archery .....good review
Such an nice looking bow
I bought one. Love it! Thanks!
That’s seems to be a pretty good bow and looks pretty good to thank ya Kramer, Take care and God bless. 👍🏼🏹🇺🇸
I know you hear this a lot: Beginners, I want to learn both Recurve and Compound. Which should I start first? Recurve or Compound. I am a firm believer, using the correct tool for the task.
Very happy with my Samick Sage.
Great information bro! Thanks for sharing
I want one, seriously,it's my Christmas gift
I got this bow due in part to my smaller size and due to wanting a hunting bow for my size at 45 pounds which might be almost too much for me right now but I will eventually get there.
Do I have the expendable funds to purchase a bow? No. Do these videos make want one? Yes. Time to pick up a second job I suppose.
you can do it! i just got mine. I'm addicted and its low key stress relieving for me. hope you make your way to one
Nice review as always! I don’t understand why it „only“ scores 9/10 in specs, as it seemed to to be spot on from the review.
I am enjoying your reviews. But I would like to know what you recommend for Kids. I have a 7 and 11 year old boys. The little guy is 48 inches tall 50 lbs and a draw length of 29 inches. The 11 year old is 64 inches tall, 100 lbs and a 31 inch draw length. Me I am 6'4" 240 lbs and a 34 inch draw. What would you recommend for each of us? We are looking to do this just for fun and something we can do together. Thanks for you help. Michael
Junxing F177 54" TD recurve. Bamboo core limbs, ff compatible. Cheap and durable.
Great review. Cheap does not mean bad that for sure my first bow was a bit under $150,- and still love to shoot that one once a while
Next Will it Bow, door, cardboard (or book backings) for bow backing could be interesting to see how it turns out 😊🙏☯️
I bought this bow. Very nice looking and compact however the bowstring brace is too deep - 8" no matter how much I unwind the string.
Hey Kramer, great vid, can ya do a Yumi bow review/build (they're kinda expensive so maybe just build) too? Doing it traditionally might be a bit hard so maybe try using rattan?
Try the ame long bow I think you will be happy with what you find 62 inches long..180.00 to 190.00..2 locking pins per limb..
You should do some of the galaxy bows. Galaxy black ridge hunter is a super smooth drawing/shooting longbow for $190 so just under the threshold.
Between this and the SAS maverick which would be your choice. I Would be killing pinecones and 3d targets. If i decided to hunt with it would one be better than the other. Thinking the maverick may be better because its probably a little heavier and therefore smoother however i like the short length of the airobow which would be better in the bush.
Do you have a video on higher end bows?
Kramer, another interesting metric you might consider when you test bows is Range. How far can the bow still shoot accurately and with penetration? **Just a thought**
Would love to know what you recommend for A youth bow. My 9yo daughter has been interested for some time now. Thanks!
Hi great info - thanks. How would you rate the string that came with it? Should it be upgraded to a fastflyte?
Isnt it advsable to wear safety glasses while shooting?
What if the bow snaps at full tension and parts of the limb flies to your face ?
I would give this bow 43/50 it seems really great
2:40
You're, uh....you may have forgotten to turn collision back on there, Bud.
I've not been an archer since the mid 80s, I don't know what I'm talking about, but, would a slightly heavier arrow absorb that extra energy that is causing the little vibration after it leave the bow?
Yes, the heavier your arrow the more energy being put towards propelling it and less vibration as a result
I'm new shooting archery and after watching this I decided on the airobow. I really like it so far but is it possible to put sights on it? Or would it even be worth it? I want to use the bow for hunting deer, bear and turkey.

What is max draw length ? Good reviews
The product description on Amazon says 28", but I think Kramer pulls to around 29" if I'm not mistaken.
i wanna make a bow with a carved design into it. what are some things i should look out for or will carving a design make the bow not realistically usable?

I recommend getting like some sort of longbow. Like a 71-72 inch longbow they have some on Amazon.
Or get a lighter bow
I just bought one of these bows cause of ur channel. Can u please help me and tell me what arrows you use for this bow?
Could you do a video about making a penobscot bow?
it look pretty . what is his max draw ?
Kramer I got my bow tonight what would you say the brace height should be? Cant wait to get it out there and shoot
I know where my next check is going!!!!!
I would like the link to those 3 bows you added. I want that folding bow

Love your videos man... you should review the southwest archery bows... they are affordable but really cool bows. Peace bro
For someone who is trying archery for the first time, do you prefer:
the OEELINE Airobow Recurve Bow or Black Hunter Recurve Bow?
the black hunter is hard to beat. if you dial it in and add a twist string and some bowjax. I ordered this little 54, here tomorrow, I'll try to remember to come back with a comparison. I do love my black hunters, 30, 40, 50. as much as my Howatt Hunter, that says a lot.
I picked up the black hunter recurve and i would like to use a adjustable nock but i dont know the diameter of the server string can you help me out on what i need to pick up
Kramer can you please tell me can I use ladder wood for making a bow please tell me because I am living in Saudia Arabia
You know the woods are not avalible
You should check out the sinoart bridged riser takedown recurve.
I was really surprised how well it shoots, but it is a bit heavier than wooden riser bows.
I did a short video on my channel the day after I got it and now that I've tuned it shoots amazing.
I'm running 500/2016 Easton xx75's
With 175gr field points. Cut to 28.5"
Will that pull to 30” draw
Listing says rec. max draw is 28"
Should probably be fine. Bows are made with a margin for error
Can you do this with left handed bows?
What’s the best way to choose bow length based off of the height of the user?
Do you recomed these one or the black hunter i am like 5'4 im right hand and left eye dominant
Crushing!!!
Why did it get a 9 in the specs? Because they didn't mention the recommended brave height and recommended range of draw length?
vos arc sont magnifique
I like all of the affordable bow comparisons,....but my opinion would be if your 5 feet tall this bow might work for you.
A normal person should have 63 inch bow or bigger.
To me the shelf appears flat not curved?
Do they make it for left handed people?
Would this be a good bow for a beginner?
would you recommend a ben pearson 1 piece? i have an oppurtunity to get my hands on a BP Cougar 45lbs 62"
Premiered 7 hours ago and it's already sold out in every poundage and left and right! WOW! I'm finding it impossible to find a Left-handed Bow just to see if I want to pursue archery.

@@90daywarranty18 sweet! Must have restocked!
What is the name of this Bow i don't hear him say what it is.
@@charliepross9612 It's the "OEELINE Airobow One Piece Recurve" and there is an Amazon link in the description.
Not only is this man a legit Bowyer but he has graduated from the Peter MacKinnon school of hype train video editing.

What is the string length of this bow?
Appreciate the reviews man. Definitely a help in deciding on a first bow. Any chance you might be reviewing the samick sage, it's the most reviewed bow on Amazon and I was wondering if it would also make a good starter bow? Otherwise I'm looking at the black hunter takedown bow you recommend.
