Armin Hirmer reviewed a takdown version sold on alibow for over 50$, called the Takedown English Long Bow, note their weight only goes up to 70lb because it is takedown. Mine is zhigaoli longbow from ebay: www.alibowshop...

Dude just casually sets a world record for fastest 3 arrows with 100 lb
2 seconds an arrow-Awsome, especially from a 100lb bow.
Ive had this in my ebay wishlist since 2 years ago lol. Finally someone made a video
They had 100lb version before?
@@bugger6881 Off and on, In USA Amazon has the 100 pound Longbow from the AMEYXGS seller in the USA on Amazon. I say off and on as AMEYXGS has been out of the 100 pound and 95 pound bows they sell at points with hard time getting them in. I say AMEYXGS over others with the bows that do not use the Glass Steel/Fiberglass and are bows of Fiberglass Resin/Mixed Fiberglass Resin or are Pure Resin with the Fiberglass Resin/Mixed Fiberglass Resin topping out at 70--85 pounds depending on seller of the model and the Pure Resin topping out at 60--65 pound for the one seller of the Pure resin version.
It's a decent bow, especially for the price. I have two lower weights in the take down version and really like them. They are a little bit heavier than a wood bow, of course. And I do recommend getting cat whiskers put on the string, because they do shoot loud. And you use a D97 string as well. I have no clue what it comes with.
Bought the 110 pound version just to make sure i was in the 3 digit area, veen training with it for a few weeks now and yesterday i got my first few full draw pulls with it. Thank you for introducing me to warbows.
Minimum wage in UK: £9.50
Minimum wage in Brazil: R$7,57
Price of the bow: £76,99 (aprox. 469,64)
Hours of work to buy it: 8.1 h(£) vs 62 h (R$)
Unfortunately I’m not buying it soon, or at all...
Great bow review, though
Don’t forget the fibreglass which doesn’t come cheap and the materials
Impressive shooting.
I have two of these bows. One is a 65 lb model and the other is a 70 lb model. If anybody is truly interested in learning how to shoot off the hand primitively this is the bow for you. I can tell you from experience these things sling arrows fast. I'm a person that believes in primitive hunting, and you can easily harvest any animal with these bows. The best thing to do is put a side quiver on it, some fur string silencers, and it takes a lot of shock out of the bow. I can also tell you that these bows are darn near indestructible, outside of just setting it on fire or taking an axe to it. I really wish American bowmakers would catch on to what the Chinese are doing. There's no reason for recurve bows to cost in the thousands of dollars. At one point in America we knew that... that's why many different archery companies made high poundage fiberglass hunting bows.
If anybody is into being prepared for the worst... I would definitely recommend buying three, or four, maybe even five of these bows. The lower the poundage the cheaper they are.
Another thing to reduce the shock is to buy some drum dampening pucks from Amazon, don't work as well as limbsavers but they do work and would not detract from the bow's appearance, especially if you can get the same color.
Which quiver would you recommend for this bow?
been seeing a lot of this style recently. might just get one
Beautiful thank you, I love strong bows of all kinds 🙏🙏
My Brother has a 60 pound model he has yet to use that in USA I can only find the up to 100 pound version on Amazon from a specific seller AMEYXGS and will only buy from the seller AMEYXGS that makes the bow up to 100 pounds. Almost all of the other sellers say fiber glass resin/mixed fiberglass resin or straight up resin for a single seller. Some of the one piece are not ZhiGaoli selling the bow but another brand especially the mixed resin models or the single seller of Resin that say just some different Chinese writing on them then ones with the ZhiGaoli name to them. The takedown most are ZhiGaoli. With the Takedown I have seen a few in reviews people get the hunting weights like 45--50 pounds often adding a shelf/two shelves on the sides using one or two pieces of wood or something similar cut to the needs to have a compact for travel to the hunting site as a two piece traditional longbow. The reason for the use of the takedown model as a compact hunting bow is that most of the traditional type of two piece takedown longbows with a shelf are either hard to find in good shape old two piece fiberglass like Ben Person for a good price bow or expensive over $700 takedown custom/single person making bows.
Excellent work. 💪😊
what a beauty 😍 id prob get tbis one too
I was actually thinging about buying a high poundage bow, just for workouts. I shoot a few arrows with this, and then my 50 pounder is a breeze 😁
I was thinking about doing the same
@@Steven-jn2cw same here i want to increase my poundage for training without loosing a kidney
What would I use if I wanted to make my own? Backyard Bowyer does cool stuff but generally low poundage. You got me so inspired.
You could try and find some thick fiberglass strips and then tiller it
I haven't made such a bow but this is how I think they are made, I could be wrong
It's probably cheaper to buy it after labor
Solid fibreglass rod
@@HistoricalWeapons what kind of thickness and length? And where would you get it from? I see 4ft 3/8" at tractor supply all the time but that's all I know of.
@@MyCommentsRMaturelol That could be great to make a Native American/Native American style or a Shortbow in the English/early Medieval style.
Armin Hirmer have the Alibow one a very good review (for the price), and found it quite accurate. Alibow version is available to 70lbs.
Different brand
that one is a takedown
ua-cam.com/video/-ReLfV3bUdU/v-deo.html I got the Alibow 70llb great!
@@oackman9250 This is a copy of that bow
I'm... actually in shock and awe, that what equates to a giant piece of plastic (from China, no less) is actually so high quality. And so reasonably priced...
It’s not a fast bow but it’s structurally sound. You can use it as a spear too
@@HistoricalWeapons Lmao. From other comments I've seen, it doesn't need to be especially fast if it's moreso an exercise tool for heavy shots.
I've been on a binge of your stuff lol..
@@Alizudo thx
Whole bunch of thoughts on this bow and the video .
In no particular order .
You really seem to enjoy the thump sound of the arrow landing in the target butt .
As a large d shaped self bow .
It could be an inexpensive analog for an eastern North American indigenous bow .
Or African d shaped self bow
Or ,or ,or .
Since self bows either flat or d shaped are probably the most common .
You are correct it could be a practical training bow for high weights .
The tendency for marketing simplicity to call it an English long bow is meh .
Wouldn't be used if it didn't work though .
You are definitely enjoying
Your circumstances in the hat
Vs Ottawa.
Since you seem to have more places to play with the heavy toys .
Cheers
Btw the small target butt you where shooting is a bull dog .
The manufacturer is a block from my place . 😉
Nice!
We really need crony test with that bow.
It's a workout bow like he said nobody cares about performance
@@bakhirkhan8424 but still intresting.
@@gobarb one day I’ll
@@HistoricalWeapons will be very appreciative
Bravo
I have one in 70# Takedown. I was going to use it to hunt but realized I bit off more than I could chew. But it actually helped me realize my weakness in a more tangible way and it got me working out so now I can do a full draw on it and shoot it comfortably for around 15-20 shots. Now when I shoot my 45lbs recurve, it feels like a child's weight. I will say the arrows fly very straight but not as fast as with the recurve bow for obvious reasons but it's an absolute pleasure to shoot and I love it. I have considered getting a 25 or 30lbs version for small game but havent gotten around to ordering another one. I may just buy weaker limbs for my recurve as it's cheaper than buying a whole extra bow.
I have the three piece version of this bow in 35lb and 50lb. Adding cat whiskers to the strings cut down a lot of the noise and vibration. I've paid about $85 each. Definitely worth the money, especially if you want a bow that you don't need to worry about abusing or if you're just starting out on the longbow. And you can use a D97 string on these bows.
Where did you get the three piece? The version I ordered from Alibow is two piece
I always wanted a longbow (I only have recurve bows) but they are kinda expensive, I had seen this longbow only before but had my doubts about it, thanks for sharing this video you helped me making up my mind about it.
Is fiberglass rod cheaper of similar size? Yes. Should you shave glass at home? Fuck no. Say hello to pulmonary fibrosis.
Lol😂
Nice bow
Great to hear and see what a simple bow can do!
Waiting on the gold 100 pounder right now.
U can use it as a melee weapon
I mean you could do the same with a 100+ pound yew or Osage bow too. It’s a hefty piece of wood at that weight.
@@MustObeyTheRules at least you don't feel bad using this as a melee weapon
@@markdennis254 very true
@@MustObeyTheRules ye
Even solid fibreglass, it you strike anything hard with it, may damage the bow & cause catastrophic failure at some time. So ok if your life depended on it & you're willing to scrap the bow. Think of it like hitting someone with a guitar or violin.
Nice
Alibow does too but only reached 70 lbs.
This bow works too much on the first third of the limbs from the handle, the last third is barely bending, and is too heavy, wich explain the handshock
Maybe you can remove some mass from the last third of the limb, the weight will decrease, but it will gain some speed and comfort
It’s a workout bow for excercise
I got the takedown version at 55lb when these things started coming out. Handshock is still an issue at that draw weight, and the heavy limbs are noticeably sluggish for the weight, even compared to a same draw weight solid fiberglass limb horsebow or wooden longbow. Higher draw weights probably up the efficiency (since it's just thicker, but not wider limbs).
But of course it's bloody indestructible, cheap and fun. I'm hoping in future for a shorter version or with reflexed tips to push the limbs more, since it definitely has more to give. (Might modify mine eventually)
This is my apocalypse bow
Beast
The bow is thin, would it be possible to cover this bow with pvc pipe to make it thick? Because I did see UA-cam videos that show how you can put fiberglass rods in a pvc pipe to make a high poundage bow
Adding more mass to the limbs slows the bow down, reducing performance, as it has to move that extra mass as the limbs return to braced shape when shot.
@@2bingtim really? TBH I never knew that thanks actually cause I was gonna do the limbs bit but I didn't have that Idea
Hey Jack what arrows do I need for this bow
Hi what brand arrows with the white fletching were you using in this video? They look like carbon or fiberglass warbow arrows
I’m gonna buy one to
Practise using a heavy bow
I am very sceptic about that bow. Do you know any long time review?
No I’ve owned the bow for only 5 months and put 200 arrows roughly so I don’t have long term review for this one yet
Abwarten und Tee trinken
It's a solid chunk of fiberglass
do you find there is alot of hand shock, i got the take down from alibow but it sends a pain up my bow arm, i still go back to my fiberglass tar tar i got from alibow.
Thanks
This is My next Buy!!!!
What longbow would you recommend for someone just getting into archery?
Where can we buy your armpit hair?
That's a weird fetish, dude
Brace height looks a bit high for a elb
It’s a long bow not ELb
@@mattjones6990 its more of an elb than an asl, design wise
عبد الله ❤
Not in stock anymore
Nkce one brother
If that fiberglass bow break at its joint, it would be shrapnel, especially at high draw weight. I dont trust it
Yes
Not ELb
No😂
The string is absolute garbage. I made a flemish twist string with some silencers and its kinda acceptable as a bow but it's pretty much indestructible and you csn leave it strung forever.
Wow
🎉
Wiw🎉
😂
Just bought a FB ELB from Alibow at 40#. It looks very similar to yours but it's a takedown. Hopefully, it arrives in time for my birthday at the end of Feb. Flaxen Saxon.
Do you do any kind of work out to help you with this? weighted pull ups or cable rows?
Pull harder. Not joking. Just keep trying. That's the fastest way
Yes weight training helps. I have been weight lifting for years and bought a 45ob bow and it’s very easy to pull back
Remove 200.tlll la
Wow
Yes

Nice
