I've had my Mandarin Duck black hunter 30@28" for about 18 months now without any issues. It's fitted with a 14 strand Grizzly Jim string with Grizzly ball silencers, it's quiet and accurate so I've just ordered the 35@28" reflex deflex limbs can't wait to try them out. I don't think you can buy a better bow for the money.
I am glad you got such a good deal on your bow. I too bought my Blackhunter long bow from ALiexpress. I bought two sets of limbs, 55ib for hunting and 35lb for practice. I got mine for $160 Canadian all including shipping, I bought mine about two years ago. They said my string was Dynema. I am getting 215 fps at 28" draw out of my 55lb limbs with heavy hunting arrows and 125 gr. field points. Luke.
would have been nice had the two bow been compared and contrasted. A chronometer trial would also have been appreciated. So what are the "brands" (makes) of these two bows? and were bow poundage's checked on a tiller. Were they as advertised?
Just got one today with recurve limbs. If someone showed me this bow and told me it cost 120 bucks I'd have said NOOO way!! Fit and finish perfect beautiful wood pattern great comfortable grip and very fast shooting. Mine had a basic dacron string with no silencers but honestly it's still pretty quiet just a little hum after the shot. Hopefully it holds up over time.
@@ChrisPBacon1434 Sure. But squirrel and grouse are very small targets and they'll be hard to hit with a recurve that doesn't have sights. You should practice with this for a year or more before you ever think about hunting with it. It's not like shooting a compound bow.
@@ChrisPBacon1434 Absolutely, just look for judo/small game tips, like has already been said hunting with a recurve/longbow is hunting on hard mode, that's not saying you shouldn't do it, it just means your going to have to work a lot harder to get the job done, but it's much more rewarding in the end. I personally shoot at half the distance that I consider myself proficient at, if I can reliably group at 60 yards (I can't) then I hunt out to 30 yards etc, if I can group ethically at 30 yards, I hunt at 15 etc.
Subbed, good honest review, yes im technically a learner, but shot many years ago so just had to fine tune what i remembered. Joining my first club this month and im sure ill learn alot. Shame youve not uploaded in a month or so, but we have lives outside of youtube. Only thing ive got to work on is tuning my arrows, at moment they are not tuned at all, but im concintrating on my form, arrow tuning will come along as obviously a none tuned arrow to your bow is a huge issue in a shot..
Looks like a black hunter but different limb to riser connection. The recurve you purchased has 2 pin and bolt connection also bezels are attached to the limb. Your hybrib has one pin and bolt connection. Iv seen this recurve before but i believe its a 58 inch bow compared to a 60 inch overall length.
You are absolutely correct, but it is so close to the BH and it has the exact same raiser feel and color. It is still a fantastic buy and value... unless it fails of course.
Looks like a shooter!! Maybe you will try it deer hunting also be a good bow for tight spots like in a ground blind with the shorter overall length!! I purchased 3 blackhunters with the hybrid limbs off amazon!!!
If you don't like the brass fittings you can always hit them with Birchwood Casey Brass Black (Selenium Dioxide). BTW, I own a black hunter Recurve (35# @28") with an extra set of 55# limbs for hunting... Plus 2 sets of Longbow limbs (35# and 55#) what can I say, different machines for different operations... I use the longbow limbs for stalk and track hunting and the recurve limbs for blind hunting (Tree/Hunting stands are pretty much no challenge for me so I tend not to use them)
Subbed and gave you a thumbs up. I ordered the Black Hunter 55 lb. 60 inch recurve from Mandarin Duck today. I'm a crossbow hunter but get sick of cocking the bow so I'm going to get into shooting a recurve. That last time I shot anything other than a crossbow was when I shot one of those fiberglass bows as a kid.
Thanks for the info. My son and I are interested in archery stemming from our love of 5e (I spotted the books on your shelf) and I’ve been looking at the Black Hunter recurve.
Not anywhere. I live in Alabama and so far the only place I've been able to get Warrior arrows is Hoover Tactical Firearms. As far as getting in store goes.
I bought mine from Amazon (in that case it wasn´t Mandarin Duck, it is Huntingdoor?!) I learned from the almighty internet, that there are versions of the Black Hunter with maple core limbs out there. My bow looks exactly like yours in the video and unfortunately, my limbs are maple core. Have you checked the limbs, if they are bamboo or maple? There seems to be a noticeable difference in performance.
@@ArcheryGeek Now i learned the hard way, that the original Mandarin Duck limbs doesn´t fit with this riser. The screws have a different position. It might be interresting for some people. I personally think, it´s worth to spend a few extra bucks on the Mandarin Duck and have the freedom of choice on the limbs afterwards... Don´t want to be a smartass here, just helping to feed the algorithm ;)
@@gereon4468 Thats intresting for me. Found two sellers on amazon, Obert and Werewolf online. Both say "100% original black hunter" but without referring to mandarin duck and on both offers people are writing that it is the same bow as the mandarin duck one. Seems like thats not the case.
So what's the difference between 400, 500, and 600 spine arrows? Are those the weight of the arrows? I'm used to shooting carbon bolts from my crossbow
Erich Diehl think of spine as how much an arrow flexes. For traditional bows the lower the poundage the higher the more flexible the arrow needs to be. 600 spine is more flexible than 400.
@@ArcheryGeek I pulled out my Barnett Vengeance crossbow this evening. I had forgotten how to set up the rope cocking sled. Once I got it figured out I was able to get off 4 shots at 30 yards before it got too dark outside. All shots pretty much dead on in an extremely small group. That thing is absolutely wickedly powerful. Going to shoot tomorrow as much as I can. Cocking the bow takes a huge effort
I am a newbie archer, and I also just ordered the same bow (Black Hunter recurve 40lbs) at this store (Toparchery). Also I ordered a longbow version at another Aliexpress store, 30lbs (because I'm just learning to shoot with a bow, and it will be the most suitable for me).
@@ArcheryGeek Thank you! Also ordered a 40 lb limbs for 60" longbow. Now I need to be patient to wait until all these cool things arrive to me. Sending and delivery take a lot of time ... (( Subscribed to your channel!
Great video man.. I've been so confused.... I bought a Toparchery, Takedown recurve from Amazon.. Took a few months to get here, but it's 100% the same as the Man Duck Black Hunter, but with no branding. It also has the exact same limbs as the Black Hunter, even down to the 40 28 on the lower limb. Same position and same font style too. I'm guessing that there's a company making these and Mandarin Duck are branding theirs. Anyone got more info on how this is working? And mine was only about $30 less than the Mandarin Duck branded one. If what I got is a copy of the Man Duck, then it's the most amazing copy of anything I've ever seen.
That design is not Trademarked ... In China it is very difficult to do that and to set up a machine to spit out black hunters isn’t that hard so their are a bunch of copies of the original BH from MD,
There is actually a manufacturer that resells these to Mandarin Duck. As a shop you can get them directly from the manufacturer, unbranded, and then can sell them at the same price as Mandarin Duck and making the same profit. But the recurve Archery Geek presents above is different in that is has two connection bolts and a brass (?) bevel, which is not standard. Looks nice though :-)
@@ArcheryParkNZ I noticed that as well. All the Black Hunters I've seen have one silver connection nipple (?) next to the bolt hole while the one he got has two. I have a recurve made by AF Archery that has two connection nipples and I'm having trouble finding extra limbs for it. Maybe I need to get them from Ali...
Would you recommend the aliexpress bow over the mandarin duck I'm just curious I've seen alot of mix reviews an I'm am new to bows an would like to get my best deal
Nathan Keener I would have to say that either one is ok and you should get the one that has the fastest shipping beat price. Check out ArcheryTalk.com register and go to traditional for sale page. Look for 35 or 40lbs max. Another option which I think is much better fo you is the samick sage recurve. Companies like SAS and Ragim have their own version of the Sage. But this is by far the best style of bow for a beginner. Hope that helps. Best
I heard that the version of Black Hunter available in aliexpress isn't very good at quality and had a lot of issues. Black hunter from Mandarin duck is far nicer.
Interesting. The 2nd one you have has double pins and the bezel are connected to the limbs. Never saw that on any black hunters. The 2nd one you got I actually like better. I've had my 2 for over a year without any issues. Just a tip most those endless loop strings they send dont last long or perform great. Really changes the bow getting a Flemish twist d97 string. The tips are reinforced so its FF ready.
I just received my "black hunter" recurve bow but I think its a knockoff because of those 2 pins and I found another bow advertised the same way but with the name toparchery but it was using black hunters photos so 1 pin.
Just would like your thoughts on this one at 35# for a first bow, for a guy with a short draw length of about 26 inches. Haven't shot in forever was wondering if 35# would allow me to practice good form. I noticed these also come in 30# but was hoping to get one at the minimum poundage for hunting where I live.
Hi! I'm thinking of buying a black hunter longbow on aliexpress. What do you think of the 40lbs choice? I will use wooden arrows with this bow. Your channel is great, congratulations!
@@ArcheryGeek Yes, this is my first bow! I've already practiced with 30lbs. So I thought about buying a 40 to evolve faster. But I may tire more quickly during practice.
Mine is 45# recurve. average speed is 180fps with fast lite string. I want to put some sights on it. I paid $125.00 which included 12 cf arrows with 100 gr field tips...Really an EXCELLENT VALUE!!!! BTW, my riser is the gray/black...looks great!
@@ArcheryGeek I made up a 340 arrow with 300 grain insert (brass) and 200 grain single bevel head for hog hunting. 140 fps but man dies it penetrate! 3 hogs with same arrow and all went comoletely thru the body destroying bone easily. 15 yard blind shots...
I kept it for only a year. Every thousand YT followers I give away a bow and this one went for 3k I believe. It was good while I had it but it stacked really bad at my 30inch draw.
no i live in the US.. Their is not tariff on archery equipment that I know of. I believe that is the case in Canada too. Would you like to be entered in the Giveaway??
@@ArcheryGeek here,in Portugal,everything that comes out of European Union is charged on 23% and 10 to 15€ on other taxes! From China ,sometimes it takes 3 month to arrive!! I already applied to the give away! Thanks
But ........... why would you be wanting 40LB recurve limbs .......... when the bow already CAME with 40LB recurve limbs in the first place????? Or did I miss something there ......... or did you mean to say that you ordered 50LB recurve limbs?????
Ali Express are selling counterfeit nasty counterfeits. You should go to Mandarin Duck's site directly. The amount of bow failures from these copies is unreal
Both bow are nice but I’m sure the true black hunter is the better of the 2 if you get a chance check out the Ragim Martix EVO i just did a video on it and man it’s a nice shooting bow thanks for sharing take care my friend and God bless. Have A Merry Christmas.
@@ArcheryGeek hey what bow is better the aliexpress black hunter or the mandarin duck I'm looking to get into archery an this bow was recommended an I would like to make sure I'm getting a quality bow
Hi, I bought one just like it and broke up the same day. The Tip's finish didn't look very good. Is your bow still working well? I think this arc is a low-quality copy.
El Peñalbero great comment. This is definitely a buyer beware product. My bow is still ok and if it lasted a year that would be good enough to get my moneys worth
If I were to buy limbs for this I'd go with Galaxy Ember limbs. The Ember is the same as the Black Hunter and you will get reinforced tips on the limbs.
Get it from Lancaster archery. If something happens they will replace the limbs as soon as possible. They are good like that I get most of my stuff from them.
je possède le meme en 50 a 28 un vrai bonheur qualité au tir nerveux rapide tout d un grand j ai changé la corde et ca marche d'ailleurs je chasse le gros gibier avec
Excacly Amazon, Excacly why its not got the Black Hunter logo on the box, as it should have. And i bet no satisfaction of authentication. I know Black Hunter resourced this brand to other manufacturers, hence some don't come with the Black Hunter Logo on the side. But tbh and I've not watched this yet, it actually doesn't look like a clone, and if it is, it's a very good one. Edit just from what you've stated and it does have the Black Hunter Logo, but some have the round gold inlay logo that Samick sage has, so yer im pretty certain youres is not a clone. Reason I'm writing this is I've noticed alot in the past 2 to 3 years do reviews on the Black Hunter, and it shocked me that a couple didn't even realise they are reviewing a clone. And like i said in one review, I've worked for Amazon, i know the laws regarding clones as I've vaped for over 20 years and vape clones are very hit and miss, same with bows. With vape they will use a term "authentic" those who know, know that means clone. And like i said to another CC cloning isn't the issue as such, but unfortunately with some reviews from 2 to 3 years ago it seems alot of these CC didn't realise what they was reviewing was not a real B.H thus had imperfections, that you don't get with the real B H. This also goes for samick sage, my mate brought his from Amazon, i brought mine from a reputable archery supplier, thus mine came in a logo samick sage box, certificate of authentication, and the proper gold seal. His came in a random box, a different seal from a different manufacturer and had imperfections, when we put ours together even though the same bow, the difference in quality was there to see. Amazon are a 3rd party dealership, thus will sell clones, and I've got to look into how they word there bows in description, because like i wrote in the vape world its "authentic" that you need to be aware actually means clone without saying "it's a clone" it's a very gray area, because although not totally illegal, unfortunately some will have a sub standard clone, thinking they have a real Black Hunter.
With all due respect. Get a clicker your nowhere near full alignment. Also you have false back tension. Your hand is flying away from your face ( plucking) then your falsely moving consciously your hand back. The clicker will kick your ass @ 1st but well worth it. Work with it on the Bale. You want your release hand tight along your face & neck @ release ultimately touching your shoulder. The way your shooting your not into your back @ all. Good luck
I love and hate your review. Turn off the guitar hero music and let us just hear the bow and the sound of the arrows hitting. When your not talk I have to mute the video.
Please take a moment and make my day by hitting SUBSCRIBE Merry Christmas 🎄

Can't believe you're giving this beaut away.
I know but ... I want to give back.
The recurve shelf is shallower, thats why you have to shoot 600s
I didn’t see the difference but I’ll go back and look !
I have a question, did it come with a bow stringer? or do I have to buy that separately?
I have a 31.5” draw with a compound. Do u think this bow would work for me?
no i do not.. go with something 64 inch or longer
Just would like your thoughts on this one at 35# for a first bow, for a guy with a short draw length of about 26 inches. Haven't shot in forever was wondering if 35# would allow me to practice good form. I noticed these also come in 30# but was hoping to get one at the minimum poundage for hunting where I live.
Really this is the perfect bow and barring any injuries 35# will be perfect to start. Good luck. 🍀
What arrows would be recommended with this bow, a 40lb, for target shooting and for hunting ?
Just got my bow.
Thanks in advance
I would get some gold tip traditionals 600 spine with 125 gr tips
I have same bow with 40# draw weight. My best results are with 500 spine. You will need some stability in the arrows.
Depends on your actual draw weight at your draw length and your arrow length. Check spine chart from the arrow manufacturer.
Thanks for watching everyone! Hope you have a great Christmas and Happy New Year! Do me a favor for Christmas - please like and subscribe... :)

no i live in the US.. Their is not tariff on archery equipment that I know of. I believe that is the case in Canada too. Would you like to be entered in the Giveaway??
@@ArcheryGeek here,in Portugal,everything that comes out of European Union is charged on 23% and 10 to 15€ on other taxes!
From China ,sometimes it takes 3 month to arrive!!
I already applied to the give away!
Thanks
Awesome video!
Brass or brass plated??
Actually I am not really sure. Sorry I could find the answers either but I suspect they are steel because of the amount of torque
👍🏻👊🏻
Are the risers real wood ?
Yes
But ........... why would you be wanting 40LB recurve limbs .......... when the bow already CAME with 40LB recurve limbs in the first place????? Or did I miss something there ......... or did you mean to say that you ordered 50LB recurve limbs?????
He's got the regular long bow limbs so he had to buy the recurve limbs. Idk why mine came with recurve limbs...
The bow you have is a longbow the link is for a recurve?
Bookhardtsbooks this bow is a recurve in this review
Search for mandarin duck outfitters on google.
Do u still like the black hunter recurv bow? Still working?
I actually didn’t use it much after getting my satori
@@ArcheryGeek oh may I heve link to that bow plz
Ali Express are selling counterfeit nasty counterfeits. You should go to Mandarin Duck's site directly. The amount of bow failures from these copies is unreal
Absolutely.
Both bow are nice but I’m sure the true black hunter is the better of the 2 if you get a chance check out the Ragim Martix EVO i just did a video on it and man it’s a nice shooting bow thanks for sharing take care my friend and God bless. Have A Merry Christmas.
Watched the whole video and liked :). Merry Christmas brother and have a very happy New Year!
Have you a link for aliexpress please
Brian Moloney. www.aliexpress.com Give this a try and see if it’s what you’re looking for take care God bless.
@@ArcheryGeek hey what bow is better the aliexpress black hunter or the mandarin duck I'm looking to get into archery an this bow was recommended an I would like to make sure I'm getting a quality bow
Hi, I bought one just like it and broke up the same day. The Tip's finish didn't look very good.
Is your bow still working well?
I think this arc is a low-quality copy.
El Peñalbero great comment. This is definitely a buyer beware product. My bow is still ok and if it lasted a year that would be good enough to get my moneys worth
If I were to buy limbs for this I'd go with Galaxy Ember limbs. The Ember is the same as the Black Hunter and you will get reinforced tips on the limbs.
Get it from Lancaster archery. If something happens they will replace the limbs as soon as possible. They are good like that I get most of my stuff from them.
je possède le meme en 50 a 28 un vrai bonheur qualité au tir nerveux rapide tout d un grand j ai changé la corde et ca marche d'ailleurs je chasse le gros gibier avec
désolé mon français n'est pas bon. tu as changé ta string ? maintenant c'est mieux? Merci. I try 😅
@@ArcheryGeek pas de souci l ami ont ce comprend oui la corde d origine pas bonne alors je l ai changée et l arc moins bruyant et plus rapide
Why not just buy another bow complete. 110 for the bow and 80. For limbs not worth it. I would just buy a separate bow.
Excacly Amazon, Excacly why its not got the Black Hunter logo on the box, as it should have. And i bet no satisfaction of authentication. I know Black Hunter resourced this brand to other manufacturers, hence some don't come with the Black Hunter Logo on the side. But tbh and I've not watched this yet, it actually doesn't look like a clone, and if it is, it's a very good one. Edit just from what you've stated and it does have the Black Hunter Logo, but some have the round gold inlay logo that Samick sage has, so yer im pretty certain youres is not a clone. Reason I'm writing this is I've noticed alot in the past 2 to 3 years do reviews on the Black Hunter, and it shocked me that a couple didn't even realise they are reviewing a clone. And like i said in one review, I've worked for Amazon, i know the laws regarding clones as I've vaped for over 20 years and vape clones are very hit and miss, same with bows. With vape they will use a term "authentic" those who know, know that means clone. And like i said to another CC cloning isn't the issue as such, but unfortunately with some reviews from 2 to 3 years ago it seems alot of these CC didn't realise what they was reviewing was not a real B.H thus had imperfections, that you don't get with the real B H. This also goes for samick sage, my mate brought his from Amazon, i brought mine from a reputable archery supplier, thus mine came in a logo samick sage box, certificate of authentication, and the proper gold seal. His came in a random box, a different seal from a different manufacturer and had imperfections, when we put ours together even though the same bow, the difference in quality was there to see. Amazon are a 3rd party dealership, thus will sell clones, and I've got to look into how they word there bows in description, because like i wrote in the vape world its "authentic" that you need to be aware actually means clone without saying "it's a clone" it's a very gray area, because although not totally illegal, unfortunately some will have a sub standard clone, thinking they have a real Black Hunter.
With all due respect. Get a clicker your nowhere near full alignment. Also you have false back tension. Your hand is flying away from your face ( plucking) then your falsely moving consciously your hand back.
The clicker will kick your ass @ 1st but well worth it. Work with it on the Bale. You want your release hand tight along your face & neck @ release ultimately touching your shoulder. The way your shooting your not into your back @ all. Good luck
Great observation and suggestions. Agree 100%.
👍👍👏🇮🇪
Anybody killed any deer with theirs?
Thinking about getting one ☝️ ????
Chinese made isn’t it???
Yep
I love and hate your review. Turn off the guitar hero music and let us just hear the bow and the sound of the arrows hitting. When your not talk I have to mute the video.
