Turkish Bow Short Bow Horseback Archery Bow 30-50lbs

I dont have much to say about it bc Im not that experienced in the ins and outs of archery but in my experience so far (About 200 shots) it shoots hard and straight (with good arrows). Ive accidently dry fired it a couple times and it suffered no damage and overall it seems good.

I'm really impressed with the quality of this Bow. It wasn't as long as I thought it would be, but I realized it is a horse riding shooting Bow. It's easy to string and it shoots really good. It has more power then I thought it would have. I'm glad I got the one with the Ox Bone. It really helps hold the string straight. The leather wrapping on the Bow is well done. The Bow doesn't look or feel cheap. And it's nice that it comes with a nice travel storage bag. This item is well worth it's cost.

I was very impressed with this bow from the start. I gave it as a gift to my Girlfriend who Loves it. Of course before giving it I had to take it out in the yard and put it through its paces. It draws clean and smooth. It doesn't seem to show any "break in". The weight seems the same today as when it came out of the box. It is well made, fun, and a great value. Highly recommend.

I bought this as my first horse bow and am very happy with it. The short length makes it easy to maneuver while mounted and I am finding I can accurately aim it.

Very good little bow for the price point. These fiberglass limb bows from Ali bow generally run about 6-8 pounds under their marked weight. I have one in 40# ( actual is 36#) in Mongolian style and one in 50# ( actually is 46#) in turkish style. My draw length is 31”, bow poundage marked at 28”.They shoot well and are very durable with normal use. I have shot hundreds of arrows over mine. Draw weight has not diminished since I have had them, I unstring them when not in use. If your interested in asian style archery, this is a great way to get started. These are shot off the hand ( no arrow rest) so invest in a shooting glove for your bow hand. These work well with 3 finger and thumb release. Factory strings are a bit noisy. String silencers will help, I make mine from old bicycle tubes. Just a 1/2” wide by 1” long with a hole, at one end. Wrap over string and through self hole and pull snug. I put two on each end. Work very well and its cheap.

I got a 35# one for my 7 year old son. It’s the perfect height and is something he can grow into for a few more years. He can really launch some arrows with it. He even shot his first rabbit recently and is excited to eat it with his friend.

I would recommend a novice get one 35# or lower. Shooting 450-grain carbon arrows, the speed from it is incredible and comparable to a 70# recurve. I'm using plastic blazer vanes (cock vane out) and if you nock a little high, they work fine off the thumb or knuckle. So no real need to invest in feathers until you know you like Asian archery.The serving material is very thin, none of my arrows would hold properly, my solution was to serve over the existing material (very easy to do by hand or with a jig, look it up on YouTube). I'll make a custom string for it when this one wears out.Yes, this bad boy stacks hard at 28-29 inches, do not buy if you have a long draw; at my 29.5 inches it feels like I'm pulling closer to 60, but the bow handles it like a champ - no creaking or other sign of strain.I chose this model due to the glowing reviews by Armin Himmer and others on YouTube, and everything they say about it is true, once I start shooting, I just can't put it down.I purchased it in 50# rather than a lighter weight only because I already have years shooting conventional recurve bows at high draw weights and spent a couple of months practicing thumb draw (hold but no release) with those bows before getting this one.Update - on 09-23-2021 the upper siyah blew apart while at full draw, this is unacceptable under any circumstances, but especially because the bow was bought in June. This type of failure can cause serious injury for the user.I used arrows of between 10 to 12 grains per pound of draw weight which is well within safe for this (or any other) kind of bow. It appears to have failed where there is a peg of some kind securing the piece that exploded off.This is extremely disappointing as the bow was very enjoyable to shoot for the brief time it lasted. Will update review with Longbowmaker's response to this.

So far I've shot around 600-700 arrows with this bow and it's still holding strong, no warping on the limbs, no cracks or split leather, or other physical damage (other than a few scrapes on the laminate siyahs from shipping) it looks and shoots like I just got it yesterday. The bow is very sturdy, has little hand shock, and overall feels very nice to shoot. I'd recommend feathered arrows over plastic fletching unless you own (or plan to own) a hand guard/thumb guard or wear some tear resistant gloves as the plastic fletching of most modern arrows will scrape your hand when you fire an arrow and can possibly cut you. You can also install an arrow rest on the bow if you don't mind gluing or clipping something on the bow to keep the arrow from resting directly on your hand while firing.The string it came with is alright, I've been quite rough on it and it's survived so far. The zebra pattern of the string is also pretty cool.When it comes to good traditional laminate bows on Amazon, Aliarchery/Alibow/Longbowmaker are some the best manufacturers and are the best manufacturers in the $100 price range as far as I know.
