I've been through every type of bow. Compound, recurve, tactical/survival takedowns etc. This exact bow is my favorite. The design is proven through years of ancient warfare, light as paper, compact and fun as hell. Just know it's going to beat your thumb up when you first start but you can just get thumb rings or develop calluses. Mines about 3 years old and still running strong.
Do you unstring it after every use or can I leave it strung? I prefer Mediterranean Release, I got a 45pd bow, what arrows would you use? What grain weight? Looking for some with feathers so I’m the arrows don’t hurt my hands upon shooting.
I have this bow, fun bow, archery shop says "wheres the horse"?(they are all compound fanatics/hunters)... That's okay I'm learning, I'm a beginner and this bow will make me a more accurate archer Hunt with it? not until I become a much better archer... Nice video thank you Alibow thank you.
My first asiatic bow was this Turkish Bow from Alibow. They actually sell it on Amazon in the US as well. Very inexpensive bow. Price has gone up since I've gotten it but still would recommend anyone who wants to get into thumb draw and asiatic style to grab this bow. When I got into thumb draw I didn't wanna break the bank in case it wasn't for me. Now it's my main form of shooting. This is a really good bow.
I had the same problems like You with aiming with this bow. I don't know why, because I am used to shooting short Turkish bows. But I real enjoyed Alibow's fiberglass old style Mongol bow and the Tibetan Quinghai.
The guys at Alibow know their craft. I have the tartar fiberglasbow from them. Might add while they are only USD70 currently their shipping is currently around USD 50 to europe, and you have to add in customs. In my case it was another 20 Euro. My order took about 1.5months to arrive. But not Alibows fault, they handed it off to the shipping agency shortly after ordering, it obviously just hung around for ages there to wait for a plane. The arrowpass wrapping looks like stingray leather, but I am not sure, mine started to wear out after a month or so. Think it is a feature of fiberglass bows, if you do a long draw it is creaking some times, especially in colder weather. But all in all I can recommend their bows, if you want to try out Asiatic bows. They even offer laminateds bow if you want to upgrade later on.
I received my one last week, same bow, same draw weight. What can I tell you? I love it! Aiming was an issue in the first days. You just don’t have to aim. It’s totally instinctive. I just look at the target and boom: center shot! For me it works at its best with the Ming guang by elongoutdoor. It’s really short and I don’t know if Slavic release would provide a clean enough release.
Oh come on... I alredy decided to buy Buck Trail Flint and after this video i'm not so sure... Thank You Charlie... Short bows are so much fun, nice compact, like EDC bow :)
Me and the missus been prepping and doin spearfishing, this time around we'll be takin up archery for survival. We want something small and light. And we want fiberglass so as to be able to use it for fishing as well when we have to.
The lack of precision from Fiberglass only bows might be coming from the fact that the limbs are easy to twist. You don't have this problem with a well made ash bow, like your assyrian bow because the limbs are stiff for example
@@hambaallah1948 You're totally right, the shape and size of the siyahs are very important. That's why assyrian bows tend to be so powerful btw, it's because the siyahs are so thin and light that you have less energy wasted and you ensure good acceleration. My Jackal Archery Assyrian is a 52" long bow, with 33" draw length maximum. I am at 52lbs at 28" Shooting 10 grain per pound arrows, so 520 arrows I reach a speed of 200 fps. Usually a hunting bow shooting mediterranean draw with 28" draw length and the same arrows would be around 150 fps. So yes, the shape and size of the siyahs gives you the optimum draw length with good acceleration. Making a big difference because you from 150 fps to 200. So 45 m/s to 60m/s. In the first case you are around 33 J of energy, in the second you reach 50J of energy
Hey brother love it......I know you have this interest in understanding accuracy .so I'll leave you with a little something....in some of the old archery treatise...it says that if you think to aim you will surely miss;
I just purchased the 40 inch bow. Smallest bow I have. It seems like the string vibrates after shooting. No hand shock. I don't hear the twang on my other 7 horse bows. I will shoot more to see this aspect of the bow. I do like the size and can bringing to my ear. Maybe I need to twist the string more? No stacking. Great bow.
@@CharliesRunningArchery The top is where the pound reading is. I always thought the labels were at the bottom. I called them. Changed to bow string and did shoot better. No stacking and shoot well. Happy with the bow.
Very nice review! I have the same bow, it's lasted tens of thousands of arrows with really high performance. Rayskin does wear through at some point but easy fix. Hey what would you recommend for bigger bow that feels relatively the same? I need to try out bigger bows.
Nice review I was looking to get this bow to try my hand at thumb release and these asiatic style bows, but wasn't sure about it however I'm feeling a bit better about it now my only question is would a 50 pound draw weight version of this bow be good for thumb release? I'm been shooting three under with my Samick Sage Takedown Recurve at 40 pounds and have been wanting to go up in weight recently.
@@CharliesRunningArchery mmm, I think it can't be right. See what I mean. watch the video below from 3:13 to 3:25 ua-cam.com/video/4EDx5Q-TTxY/v-deo.html&ab_channel=ArminHirmer
I stopped watching this video when you were standing there trying to talk with your hands instead of holding the bow still so i could see it. Maybe next vid you can talk and hold the still instead of all the up and down movement
Charlie, you are a wonderful archer, but your cinematography absolutely blew me away!
Well done my friend!

Use a thumb ring - thumb doesn't get hurt. It's much faster then the med draw, in my opinion

Its incredibly fun looking

Nice review. I was wondering if these bows where good; I think I'll try them out now.
These bows are amazing! I actually bought more of them for my self :)

I watched the video again and you label is at the top - where it belongs. Thank you for your videos - learned allot. Do an excellent job.
Still happy with it?
6:08 He meant strung, ha ha ha stringed
Sorry! Yes! 😂
we use this bow with 50 lbs and my wife with 40 lbs....very exactly and fast snappy shooter🤗👍🏹🎯 And ...with kathra can you shoot very harder, try it
Still happy with it?
that is such a beautiful bow i shall make a rubber powered version of this good looking bow
Hi, not really sure :/
@@CharliesRunningArchery I don't remember commenting this comment I'm confused

I'm not a fan of "bigger" bows. But if 124cm is bigger, than Assyrian by Bogararchery.sk :)

It's turkish bow, Turks were mostly thumb shooters, this bow is amazing for a thumb release in all draw weights :)
May I ask which arrows you would recommend for a beginner that arent too expensive
Alibow Carbon :) use them myself :)
Is this Bow also good as a first bow?
cause i want to start with this Bow
Amazing choice for a first bow! Highely recommended :)
@@CharliesRunningArchery cool, i`m gonna go with this one :)
Hey i know this is old video, but how long did it take for them to make the bow, and ship it?
Just curious since i bought the same bow.
It’s pretty big company and those bows, as far as I know, are always in stock. But even though it took about 3-4 weeks to deliver.
Can I Trust this shop?
Bause i didnt even entered my adress, but had top pay, usually i First enter my adress and then have to pay...
Sure, I had like 10 bows from Alibow and always everything is all right :)
Are the 29 inches draw length a barrier? Can I draw it to 30 inches? Will that be harmful?
Dont recommend to draw over 30 with this one
Have you tried marina ming moon 4 or Simon raptor bow?
No, haven't heard about it! Will check them.
Can you write which arrows you use with this bow?
Patnaloon Black Traditional by bearpaw, 600 spine.
@@CharliesRunningArchery I use cross x avatar penta 800 spine (the bow is 30#).
Is this bow suitable for left handed archers?
Yes :) is the same as every traditional bow
@@CharliesRunningArchery thank you! :)
Hi, can I know the NTN measurement?
I thank you
What is NTN?
@@CharliesRunningArcherynock to nock. the length along the curve of the bow limbs.
@@CharliesRunningArchery can you measure please?

Imagine being dumb enough to waste time commenting this
Fiberglass bows by Alibow are surprisingly good for an affordable price . Got the Qinghai , will try the Tatar soon . Keep on runnin' !
