These are not Bow reviews. I use these modern reproductions to talk about the historical designs instead of using 2000$ hornbows which would be financially impossible to run this channel. Another common misconception is that people think Niya bows are very wide limbs shown on google but the original Niya bow based on ATARN is maximum 3.2 cm wide. People are confusing with the jin dynasty Khotan bow.
dude, i just realized you have 140k subs, i guess my wishes for you to be recognized by the algorythm a few years back worked :-D nice to see your hard work getting results man! liuliuliu - jiayou!
Jack Fang and Steve Wallis…I don’t know what it is but our neighbors to the north make the best UA-cam content. Great video, keep up the good work man!
all "I Know" is as an archer with a layn in my yard, and muzzleloaders, stoners and cappers, long and short, rifled or smooth. In a fight with an archer of these qualities and quantities, my black powder teqh would give way to the bow and reliability with speed, or costs..
China could have invented composite bows. The sumerians had the first artwork of composite looking bows as shown by jack due to its shorter length and later resemblance of Assyrian bows that we know are hornbows. And 10000 years before we had m shape bows from ancient Arabia (though that artwork likely depicts a wood bow) That 4000 year old bone script is the shape of future mongol style bows but it could of been steam bent bamboo shape instead of
That 4000 year old evidence indicating m shape bows is decent supporting argument that the Chinese invented the m shape composite bow. I can’t find an earlier source either of m shape
Note there is m shape bow art in ancient Arabia 10000 years ago but no evidence it’s composite, that specific one is a gullwing shape likely of self wood similar to some african bows today
Are u talking about the bone oracle script from shang dynasty? We have no evidence that is a Hornbow. It is a script on a piece of bone depicting the meaning of bow. It could be m shape bamboo 😊
Hey! Love your channel! Can you tell me what is the brace height and length of this AF archery bow with string? This bow is gorgeous, very similar to early mongolian empire bows, with long and more straight siyahs,
Yeah there were many nationalities, tribes around the area. These long siyas were used up to the 13th century ish. Huns, Mongolians, Seljuks, Magyars, Chinese Han soldiers.. it was very popular. By the way, I bought one too, it's a fun bow to shoot.
I have that style of bow. I have two of them actually. But I got it off Amazon. Now idk where it actually comes from but when I had gotten it They said that the style comes from Mongolia but idk if that's true but the bows itself is fantastic now. I don't know if that is correct or not it's it comes from Mongolia They also said The Mongols used to use this style, though now I remember the Great Wall of China was to prevent the Mongol raids from happening. That is what I was taught in school pretty awesome loves your videos man 😊
We don’t know exactly where it originated but it is for sure not 13th century Mongolia because we have archeological finds like this one around 200AD. And prior to this we have 2000 BC artwork depicting very similar bows in the Shang dynasty on bone oracles. This m shape is not seen in Sumerian/babylonian artwork however. So if I had to guess it originated from central Asian around 4000 years ago but the ancient Shang peoples also recorded them in a bone script at the same time
thanks so much for these reviews. i'm curious between this "New Han Bow" and the "Han Long Bow" (in another of your AF Archery videos), which one you might recommend to a beginner archer (me :))? i'm planning on starting with 30lbs.
Thank you! Those Han bow findings were siyah bows, like this one? Asking because I'm wondering which were the first composite siyah bows and when. Han bows or Hunnish bows?
@@HistoricalWeapons This bow is designed by a chinese mount archer 子清王 and produced by AF archery. You can get like 200 fps with 8GPP arrows. I get one and it's like 280RMB here in China.around 40 USD?
There are plenty of European and japanese history channels, leave this content alone. We dont have enough chinese history as easily understandable and fun to watch as this

With so many UA-cam channels focused on European history + Japanese, it’s refreshing to see a channel with so much on Chinese history
Amen, africa, india, asia, and americas, all have a very long history.

The only guy talking about Chinese warfare with reproductions not animations
To be fair this is Central Asian too
Hmm... I kinda feel like we Chinese inventing composite bows, saddles, stirrups, silk trade etc kinda back-fired specifically in 1276......

We have no evidence the Chinese invented composite bows. In fact it is more likely the sumerians that invented composite horn bows or even earlier.
@@AnkunFang invention can happen multiple times, so long as it is in isolation.

Thought ancient Arabians had the original m shape
Yes the gullwing shape. However I never claimed this is the first m shape. My focus was on m shape composites

This bow is gorgeous, very similar to early mongolian empire bows, with long and more straight siyahs,
With a 48-inch (122 cm) string, the brace height should be 6.5 inches (16.5 cm). Other info you can find on their website or eBay.
Google af archery new Han bow
Great presentation. You're a terrific speaker!
Yeah there were many nationalities, tribes around the area. These long siyas were used up to the 13th century ish. Huns, Mongolians, Seljuks, Magyars, Chinese Han soldiers.. it was very popular. By the way, I bought one too, it's a fun bow to shoot.
I agree just a slight modification to replace nationality with ethnic/cultural groups
No it's all chinese!
@@thfkmnIIIproblem is Chinese is a modern English word describing a modern nationality
A better Niya bow

No it's only chinese! Xianbei Jin Xiongnu history belong to china!

thanks so much for these reviews. i'm curious between this "New Han Bow" and the "Han Long Bow" (in another of your AF Archery videos), which one you might recommend to a beginner archer (me :))? i'm planning on starting with 30lbs.
I recommend the one with shorter siyah cuz it’s structurally safer
Thank you! Those Han bow findings were siyah bows, like this one? Asking because I'm wondering which were the first composite siyah bows and when. Han bows or Hunnish bows?

No haha

Yeah it’s cheap

genius i mean

Just a easy way to distinguish between crossbow with foot spanned

Han bow look not design
He talks about the design while holding a 70$ prop. Like he said no money for 2000$ per video
It’s obviously not a horn sinew. I don’t have the budget for that lol
Why so much Chinese history
You wouldn’t even mention it if he had lots of European history
Not interested then don't watch our history
Most UA-cam history channels cover European involved history so I avoid that
There are plenty of European and japanese history channels, leave this content alone. We dont have enough chinese history as easily understandable and fun to watch as this
Turkic people
They could of been, but the mongols are strongly refusing to call themselves Turkic
Great work of these xianbei Jin / xiongnu Han bows
