    Thank you for your bow reviews including the Black Hunter 'longbow' version. I own 4 of these bows and enjoy them very much for their smoothness, accuracy, quietness, and pleasure in simply shooting 'Trad' archery. I am 74 years old shortly and have owned many, many, traditional bows including Bear, Herters, expensive hand-crafted bows. I liked each of them for what they were and enjoyed a Stotler handcrafted bow ($700+) the most. However, my second choice for pleasure is the inexpensive Black Hunter long-bow (Twig Archery) as unbelievable as it may sound. Archery is a great hobby and in many ways a health builder i.e. physical strength, hand-eye coordination, mental relaxation and clarity, and simply just 'Fun'. bill bartholomew, Pennsylvania

    I’ve had this same bow for about 2 weeks (40lb) and have shot about 200 arrows through it. I shot traditional decades ago and this bow has rekindled my interest in archery. I would echo your remarks on how smooth it shoots and how low the hand shock is. I draw 31.5 so I reduced the brace height to 5 inches which is less than the recommended height but it still shoots fine. So far 110% happy with the purchase. Nice review

    Thanks for taking the time to do these reviews. I'm looking for a bow for my son for Christmas. We have always hunted deer with crossbows but two years ago I purchased a samick sage ( which I love) and took a deer with it this year. No sights, no plunger, just some vibration dampeners and shooting off the shelf. Although, I'm very comfortable with it, I have nothing to compare it to. My son and I have agreed on getting him a different recurve just for the possible differences. We are leaning towards the mandarin duck series...this video helps.

    Hey 👋! I am so blown away by your articulate presentation! I am a proud owner of my Black Hunter recurve bow! And I found most of what you express to be true (in my limited ability as a shooter only) it just feels so right too! Your talent for building bows is not overshadowed by the bows you test, nor do they most likely, outshine your work. I’m a student of the great Canadian Master, Gare Chayne and now a huge fan of yourself! I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to more of your presentations! Can you explain what I call (for lack of the correct term, “unaiming)” which is to say, shooting without aiming, yet hitting many bullseyes. I ask because, apparently, that’s the best way for me to shoot and hit the target. And I am a newbie at 70 years; so I’ll take what I can get in just about everything! Thankz! JGL

    Two months ago I started dragging my colleagues to the 3D-Bow Parks in our area on a regular basis. Walking and shooting the park is a really nice social and outdoorsy (but not too physically challenging) thing that can still be done in Covid times. Think golf with arrows. People are really starting to crave these occasions now. In early October I had to persuade people to come along. Now there are so many requests that I nearly can't handle them anymore. All these people need equipment, so your recommendations for entry level bows in the lower price range are very valuable at the moment. Thank you!

I've been a little leery of some of the one star reviews on Amazon that describe the bow coming from together, but as you pointed out (I hadn't noticed the earlier dates on the bad reviews), the durability problems have probably been addressed. Thank you for taking the time to do these reviews; they are very helpful for those of us just entering the archery scene.

    Bought this exact bow 2 years ago on ebay and the top limb broke after 3 months or so. I contacted the seller about it, but he didn't respond. Because I liked the bow so much, I bought replacement limbs from another seller and it still shoots amazing. Bumped about the broken limb and no replacement limb or even response from the first seller, but I'm happy with it now.

    I have the recurve-version. After 20 shot the top limb delaminated. I got a replacement (5 weeks) and after another 200 shots the bottom limb broke through the hardwood core. I got half of the price as a cashback, repaired the limbs carefull with epoxy and shooting the bow without any problems afterwards. Maybe I had just bad luck. The batch seemed to have had problems with the glue (maybe wrong temperature during drying or whatever). But i would still recommend to buy the bow at a company with a little bit of a higher quality control (Drake, Mandarin Duck or something like this) just to avoid such problems. Apart from that: A very smooth and good bow. Keep up your great work and all the best from Germany.

    I used custom recurves and long bows and I was satisfied, A friend gave me a pre-Florida Bear Hunter recurve in pristene condition it shot as good as some and better than others? "You can't judge a book by its cover"! I use to make primitive bows and never felt I needed a handicap. I enjoy your videos, you know more than I do and I have been at the archery game a long time.

    I've got the #40 & #50 they both perform really nicely. Bearpaw whisper string & beaver balls make it whisper quiet 😁. The #40 is forgiving at 29.5" the #50 stacks massively but is stupidly fast with heavy aluminiums. Point on at 55yards shooting split finger.

    I have been wanting to try this Black Hunter with the longbow limbs for over a year now. I have many many high dollar trad bows both recurves and longbows. I took delivery on the Black Hunter longbow yesterday and all I can say is wow! How can they produce a bow of this quality for a few bucks over a hundred dollars!!! I am definitely impressed. Will I sell my custom bows? No way, but man I am impressed with this little bow.

    Just got the Mandarin Duck TD longbow, arrived in 7 days from china to the east coast USA, that alone is amazing as I'm still awaiting a vendor package from Florida that shipped out 2-1/2 weeks ago, Grrr. I've been heavy into archery since a kid in 1953, all flavors but particularly traditional archery and mostly Hill-style longbows. Needing a backup TD longbow for an upcoming flyaway hog bowhunt I took a chance on the Black Hunter offering and so far I've not be disappointed. I ordered the last 45@28 in stock and that's what arrived, as my Easton digital draw weight scale registers a consistent 45.3lbs holding weight at exactly 28" of draw length (to the front of the bow shelf). I was specifically intrigued with this bow due to the bamboo limbs as that's what I prefer on all longbows. Bottom line, very pleased. Super smooooooth draw to past 28" (thanx to bamboo), good speed with 10 to 12 gpp woodies and carbons alike. There is some boinging noise happening on release as the R/D limbs and tips do their wiggles, this is normal, but that was easily tamed with a pair of wool silencers inserted into the string ... speaking of which, the supplied string was a tad too short at 56-1/2", so I spun up a new B55 14 strand endless string at 57-1/2", which is a teeny bit long as I expected and that allowed putting in some good twists to nicely round it off. This yields a brace height of 8" to the depth of the grip. The supplied swatch of sticky backed hair hide would make a good shelf rest (there should have been instructions to let newbies know to make sure the hair points forward when making a hair rest), but I prefer Velcro sticky back loop instead. All in all, for the low price point, overall good build and materials, and good performance (stable on the release and fast arrow speed), I'll give this bow 9 out of 10 stars .... if it lasts without issues for a year's worth of shooting I'll up that rating to 10 stars. Cheers! :)

    I recently purchased the black hunter long bow in 45#. I was very careful with the assembly, and have been flexing it every day without shooting it. Treating it as carefully as possible. The recommended spine arrow is 500 with a 125 grain point, I'll start there.

    Kramer Ammons: I am loving this series. I have the BlackHunter Long bow and recurve and love it. However, after comparing the 10 bows under $100, I wonder if you wouldn't mind taking the top 5 or top 3 and comparing them to the next level bows? As a new archer/bowhunter, I am curious what I am getting for buying a more expensive bow, or alternatively, what am I losing for sticking with the BlackHunter versus say moving up to a bear archery or some other name brand, more expensive bow. Thanks for your consideration!

    Gotta love a guy that shows no prejudice when he reviews an item. So many of the higher profile YT archery guys show contempt for the Chinese bows , whinging about the smallest thing and only review them as the budget bows are so popular and they get a lot of views. Kramer, the bomb!

    • @UTxTheArchangel
      @UTxTheArchangel 2 роки тому +1

      I think one of many reasons those reviewers do it is because some of them might have connections to local archery shops or even 3Rivers or Lancaster. If they don't have a negative mindset towards forgien bow suppliers, then those suppliers would be legitimate competition for say 3Rivers, whom doesn't want competition, bc competition would mean they would have to lower their prices. 3Rivers wants us to view the Black Hunter as a cheap budget bow so we can spend 300$ on their Old Mesa instead. 200$ more makes some ppl feel like that means its better....has to be.
      All of my bows with the exception of 2(Korean supplier and Ukrainian supplier) are from China. Specifically one of the most respected suppliers in the Horsebow market. Zero complaints about them and their bows.

    I have the recurve version of this by Junxing #30 and absolutely love it. Bought it second hand for $100 Australian . Started shootings with some cheap ish eBay carbon arrows and after I bought the black eagle vintage 500 spine. There was no setup or tuning necessary, the combination works like a charm.

      I have the #50 and it was $140aud new, with 12 carbon arrows. Recurve version though, loving it so far. Ordered it and it was at my house the next day

    I have the 60lb version with 555gr wooden arrows cut to 29" 60-65 spine. Absolute LASER and hits like a truck, not only did I get a passthrough on my first deer at about 15 yards, but the impact knocked it to the ground for a second before it jumped up and ran 20 yards before dying. Went to recover the arrow and it was buried in the ground directly under where I hit the deer, such an amazing bow if you have proper arrows for it, ill never need another bow.

    Howdy Kramer, I really enjoy your videos. Looking at the riser and the different shape of the ends of the limbs. It doesn't look like a crafty person would have any problem with doing a little DIY shaping and refinishing to make either switch look good.

    Do you measure the 28" length from the throat of the grip anchor for draw weight? I thought it is from front of the riser. Because the limbs are attached on front of the riser, not back. As far as I heard, it's because draw weight is related to the limbs, not riser. It's how much the limbs are bending.

    My wife and I have three of these. A 45#, a 50# that my wife stole from me (I mean stole! Just a smile and a smooch and bye bye) and my 60#. We love these bows and from a wall full of bows these ste the ones that get shot the most. Great review, great system and honest evaluation.

  • @brianhutchinson7863
    @brianhutchinson7863 2 роки тому

    Thanks for making the recommendation of this bow. I purchased one probably made by the same manufacturer but a different name and the recurve version I got it the other day and attached the limbs but have yet to string it.
    I ordered 60lb limb version and while I could perhaps string it without a stringer I decided to wait and make a stringer first. I'm going to give it a chance but may return it to amazon as it initially feels too bulky of a grip, regular.
    Southpaw it feels good however that doesn't change the orientation arrow rest though and would be at least a little awkward to try to shoot that way. I could probably mod the riser to be more comfortable I may do that.
    I think I understand why you said it shoots smooth with very little hand shock and that is the bulk/weight of the riser. I ordered another bow called a Kainokai for a bit cheaper. It isn't as traditional in appearance having a cast aluminum riser but had at least one shining review by a guy that seemed to be a well versed archer.
    I view a bow as a tool first and as a aesthetic piece second. I do want to be proficient with a recurve and appreciate it for what it is and thus plan on shooting with them before getting back into compounds.
    I probably should thank you for you're non archery type videos and I suppose I do but I'm pretty much on autopilot these days and perhaps impossible to encourage with live in the moment type stuff.
    Anyway pretty excited to be able to do archery again after like 20 years away from it and having never taken a Deer or anything, hunting.

    I have one of these. It was great for my first real bow. Unfortunately, I broke the limb tip. It was my fault and a total newbie kind of thing trying to sting it in a bad way. Because of the pandemic and the shutdown of supply chains I have not been able to get a replacement set of limbs. I almost just bought a whole new one but ended up getting a 62" single-piece longbow. Figured as a new archer I might as well see what else was out there. Some day if the limbs become available I will replace them and shoot it again. Until then, at least it breaks down for easy storage.

    Kramer, I purchased one new from ebay and had the issue with the tip coming off. The glue that let go, but I was able to get it back and glue it back on myself. So far so good, but I did have to make a new string as the one on the bow at the time got destroyed when the tip let go.

    Limb nock breakage is the most common bowyer defect. But they don't tell you if they dry fired it or struck something with the nock while shooting. No matter how well you build something there's always breakage.

    Hi @kramer, I bought this bow in Feb 2020 and love it. I then bought horse bow (Mongolia!, Turkish and Korean). Have you tried these "horse bows" , would you be interested to review these type of bows? I'd bet you could build one of these and I would be eager to watch you build these type of bows also. Thanks for your time and enthusiasm. You are the best and most exciting laminated bow builders I have ever watched on UA-cam. Stay safe and God bless you.

    Touching on the black hunter recurve. I bought the 35 and 45 lbs. huge difference in smoothness!!! The 35lbs is noisy and not so smooth. 45lbs bow is just freaking amazing and silent even before pitting beaver pelt.

  • @eruiz3116
    @eruiz3116 3 роки тому

    Great longbow. My bottom tip overlay fell off after about over 1000 arrows. Glued up another, reshaped and its back up and running like a champ. It was my fault for being rough with the limb while stringing using the step through method. Use a stringer and they should stay on a lot longer. Riser is cut a bit past center so it’s very easy to tune arrows to achieve good arrow flight. You can’t beat this bow for 100$

  • @MrWARHAMMER68

    I bought this bow a few months ago . 60 pound draw weight at 28 inches , it is by far my most accurate and dependable bow that I own. I would have no problem paying a few hundred dollars more to get this version at 80 pounds draw if it were possible .

    @peterhandl6637 3 роки тому

    The manufacturer says that you can actually put longbow and recurve Limbs on the same riser. It just depends on your taste. I got a german wholesale catalogue here where I could look this up.

  • @markhansen8078
    @markhansen8078 2 роки тому

    I have one of these bows. I think it is a very good value. My only complaint is the grip on the riser feels and little small for my hand. It is not so small that it prevents me from using it but it is something I can feel. As a point of reference I usually wear an xxL golf glove. An XL glove feels tight. good luck

  • @popsw3003
    @popsw3003 3 роки тому

    Got one for Christmas and after about 60 arrows through a top overlay came off in midshot. Arrow went wild and got a pretty bad welt on the arm from the string. While I loved the bow, I returned it and kind of reluctant to try another one.
