Black Hunter Recurve Pt. 2 - Is it a good inexpensive bow?

- The Black Hunter Recurve bow comes in at a very enticing price point of 109 dollars, but is it worth the money? In this video I do a review redo of sorts. After having used the bow for sometime now I can say that I am impressed with the performance of the Black Hunter Recurve. There are some things that you need to be mindful of if you plan on purchasing one. I cover some of the negatives that I have seen in reviews for this product.

The person who laughed about it not having instructions is an ass. Before i bought my black hunter, I hadn't ever shot a bow. True, the assembly was common sense. Until brace height, nock point, string silencers, etc. It wasn't all self explanatory, so thank God for yt and for folks like u Scott to help folks like me. I put my email in one of my comments when u asked which part of Ga I live. Stay woke brother, and everyone be safe.
Thank you brother for the great comment! I banged my head against a wall so many times trying to figure things out. Taking the quess work out of some aspects of it only helps in the long run. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. Have a great evening my friend! Best regards
yes this is the updated version (straight limbs end). My wife and I both own a black hunter, with recurve and longbow limbs, we never had an issue with it, and yes it's a really good shooter, better than a few 500$ bows I own.... for the price, don't think twice !
this guys so nice and helpful with this review i just went through and liked every comment and reply in the entire comment section. and of course the video and the sub. thanks for the video! appreciate you
Thank you my friend. I appreciate your time and the comment. I appreciate the kind words. Have a great evening! Best regards
I subbed because of your honesty. Appreciate your time making the video. Thumbs up, mate.
Thank you so much for that. I really appreciate it. Have a great evening my friend! Best regards
Thanks for the review Scott, The earlier Black Hunters are brilliant,I have 2 sets of limbs 45 & 50 & both spot on with the longbow limbs.The shape where they attach to the riser is not flat.They shoot like an expensive bow Junxing is the actual maker so i got a Pharos 2 ILF from them & had limb weight issues.I wonder if its only the recurve limbs that are out..Glad you got yours sorted .Cheers from Dowm Under
Thanks for sharing this vid. I've been resisting buying a Black Hunter for well over a year....and I still want one.
If you get one without issues they seem to be a great bow. I can honestly say I'm more impressed than I thought I would be with mine. I've heard more good about the longbow version. I definitely want to order a set of limbs to try. If you do decide to get let me know how you like it. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Have a great evening my friend!
That was a great review Scott, and I'm glad you got a good one. I agree with you, I want to know the specs for my bow, I don't want to have to guess ... even if I decide to change it up a little. For example, my Lwano Bow 45lb recurve has the exact same deminsions, string length, & Brace height of between 7.5-8" recomondation. O have played with it going onto my 5th month and have decided that it shoots best for me with a Brace height of 8 3/16 - 8 1/4" likewise since I shoot vanes I put a light paying of fur on my shelf as a buffer and have my nocking point set as high as you do at roughly 5/8".
They are very good looking bows ... if I ever get one, I want thar redush colored one ... it looks really cool to me!
Sorry for being so long winded ... God bless you, and keep you & your family safe brother!
Keep doing what you’re doing man. Good content!!
Thank you my friend. I really appreciate the kind words! Have a great day. Best regards
Very honest assessment and very honest of view to make a second review to give the product a second chance. Many don't do that.
I appreciate the comment my friend. I always think it best to give a follow up when I feel it’s warranted. Thank you for your time. I appreciate it. Have a great evening. Best regards
Thanks again for your review of this bow. It seems very thorough and knowledgeable which is very helpful for a novice like me. 😊
Thank you for the comment. I hope my content can provide you with what you need on your journey. Have a great day. Best regards
Hey Scott, glad you warmed up to the bow. Maybe that would even be another one for me :-) Please keep up the good work, stay healthy and may every arrow hit the center.
I really appreciate your videos. They are entertaining and informative at the same time.
Thanks a lot my friend!
Thank you so much my friend! I really appreciate the support. I do like the bow though I really didn't think I would. I hope it holds up over the long run. If you do get one I hope you get a lot of use from it.
Again, I really appreciate your time. Have a great evening!
This bow shoots beter then thousand dollar bow
In archery class, someone strung their bow wrong and got royally chewed out for 1) possibly messing up school equipment, and 2) jumping ahead of the teacher's instructions. great video.
I know someone who did that recently. Luckily they weren't hurt. I hope all is well with you. Thanks for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it. Have a great day!
Great info, Thanks for helping me setup my Blackhunter, Ordering arrow etc. now..... Peace always...
You are welcome my friend. Have a great day! Best regards
Thanks for the follow up
I always admired the longbow version, cool review ✌
Thank you my friend. I appreciate your time and the comment. I have heard good things about the longbow version. Have a great day! Best regards
Amazing shots! Congrats
Thank you my friend. I hope you have a great day! Best regards
Hey Scott, glad you're enjoying the bow. Have to say, your grouping is impressive, given that you're shooting instinctively. I shoot Easton alum. 2119's out of my Hoyt Pro Vantage Tracer 55-70 lb. compound (yep, it's an oldie but a goodie, heavy as all get out, but I like the stability). Still haven't had a chance to try out my DAS 50 lb. recurve yet, but hopefully soon. Anyway, good luck with the Black Hunter. I'm curious to see how you like the longbow version.
Thanks my friend I really appreciate the feedback! Where i suffer is beyond 20 yards, that's where I need to work on somethings to improve. But that's the fun part of archery, having an excuse to get out and shoot. Nothing wrong with a little more weight in s bow, agreed on the stability part of it. I think it all boils down to what works for us as individuals. I do like the bow, but curious about the mileage I'll get out of it. Time will tell I guess.
I really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. Have a great day brother!
I had one of the longbow limb tips shear off. It's a manufacturing error, as I was using a B50 string with 10.3 grain per pound arrows. I could glue it back on, and has been ok since then. I have a total of 5 limb sets, and only had the one limb, so that's a 10% chance of the tip popping off.
Another bow for you to look at would be the TimberRidge Takedown bow. Just about the same as the Black hunter, but has a more custom look on a production bow. I have one, and shoot it all the time.
That sucks you had a bad experience with the limb tip. I am glad you were able to repair it continue using it. I've heard the name Timber Ridge before, but haven't checked into them. I'll definitely check them out. Thanks for the advice and taking the time to comment. Have a great day my friend! Best regards
I bought this bow 2 weeks ago. It's awesome.
Great to hear my friend. I'm really enjoying mine as well. I hope you get a lot of enjoyable use with yours. I appreciate your time my friend. Best regards
Great review... and i agree... if you buy ANY product.. it better damn well come with some brief manual or instruction booklet..
Thanks for the comment my friend. It's a small thing I know, but I think it's important. I really appreciate your time. Have a great evening. Best regards
I love bow.last year I got a nice 5x5 blacktail with the black hunter.ive shot it hundreds of times still like bran new60 pounds prabably could use a new string.and I'm left handed.5 stars from me southern oregon coast.
I have both the recurve and the long bow. Your video gives me some ideas on how to change my mind about the bows.I need to get a new string and some better matched arrows. Thanks for the review. Maybe I can change my mind about the Black Hunter. Here's hoping.
My friend thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Hopefully you can get it set up to your liking. Since taking the time to change the string and match arrows to mine, I've have really been enjoying shooting it. Let me know how it works out for you. All the best my friend. Have a great day!
@@ScottWinters Thanks, Scott. Hey, your Shout Out should hit late tonight.
@@ronsarchery6378 thank you my friend. Have a great day
Thanks for the review. I've had a black hunter longbow since they were first released in 45 pounds & later I got some 50 lb limbs Absolutely no problems smooth draw, accurate & fast ,no hand shock. All the best from Australia
Forgot I already sent you a message
Glad to hear your experience with this bow was a good one. It seems to be hit or miss with these. I think partly because there are so many different vendors. If it works for you that's all that matters. Thank you again for the comment. Have a great day. Best regards
Did you get it from chnarchery?
Excellent grouping mate😊
New & thumbs up!
HOWEVER, would like to see the whole bow in frame from the side as you draw and shoot to see exactly how the limbs flex....
Thankyou for the review
You are welcome. Have a great evening. Best regards.
Hi Scott, thanks for the video. Just purchased a Black Hunter off ebay. 60 pound draw weight. Will let you know how it measures when I receive it.???? I don't mind if the draw weight goes down I wouldn't think it would go up. Been putting off picking up one but after seeing quite a few reviews and yours I took the leap. You pack a lot of info in your videos and it has been very helpful. Thanks again.
My friend I hope you enjoy the bow. They are really good bows. I think the main thing with them is there are so many offerings it's hard to find consistency between the vendors. Aside from the draw weight issue I had no issues out of mine. I would love to hear about your experience with it when you receive it. I really appreciate your time and the comment. I hope you have a great evening! Best regards
Looks like you are ready to take that thing to the deer woods this fall. Keep these videos coming.
I might just do that this year. I haven't landed the plane on what broadheads I want to try yet. Any suggestions? Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Have a great day my friend!
@@ScottWinters Centaur Archery Makes very good heads takes years to wear them out very dependable heads. honestly man most sharp fixed blade broadheads work its really about shot placement.
Thanks for the reply my friend. I will check them out. I haven't shot a broad head since I stopped using my compound bow. I think i will get some to test out. Thanks again, I really appreciate the comment. Have a great evening my friend!
For the price, there's nothing better or as accurate and smooth to shot. better than most 500 bows, brand name and custom bows I've had.
I picked one up from a buddy for 45 in the box. He couldnt get the limbs mounted. The riser threaded inserts were installed crooked so I drilled them out and replaced them. Got the limbs mounted but they still were off, neither top or bottom lined up because the centering dowels were also crooked. This thing was a mess. After finally getting everything fixed, the nocks cut the string so had to re sand both upper and lower limb nocks. I cut the window crown and center shot better and finally had a bow that would go together and shoot correctly. After checking the weight, it was off, supposed to be 45lb and was actual 38lb. After all was said and done, I ended up with a bow that seems to shoot pretty decent. Would I ever pump any money to the china ecomony and buy another, no. It is what it is and now there are a couple dozen knock offs so its just not worth the headache.
Awesome 👍 🏹
Hi Scott, I appreciate your channel and content. I have had a 50# Black Hunter longbow for about 18 months. It has been a solid bow for me. Smooth, quiet, and very maneuverable at 60".
I like it enough that I sold my Bear Patriot which was cumbersome for my hunting needs. I got the Black Hunter from Twig Archery in Ohio. It cost me more, but they ensure the draw weight and ship it nocked and ready to shoot.
I'm looking to buy a SAS Sage Premier 62". Have you tested one yet?
That's great got one that suits your needs and has the draw weight you wanted. I have toyed with the idea of new longbow limbs for the BH riser to test. I've heard good things about the longbow version. I've been hearing a good bit about the Sage premiere but have not had a chance to put my hands on one. Might have to see if I can put my hands on one. I really appreciate you watching the video and taking the time to comment. Have a great evening. Best regards
@@ScottWinters
After much deliberation and talking to a Tech-rep at SWA, I ordered a 55# SWA 62" "Spider" recurve today. Down the road I will add 64" longbow limbs from the "Ghost" when they are back in stock. I was told they are compatible. So I have the Black Hunter T/D, and a Spider T/D with attachment inserts to experiment with. Both will be hunting bows, and will share the same arrows. I'll be following your channel and reviews. Your analysis is rock solid. 👍
Could you please possibly write a list of things you added to the bow and arrows. & maybe some key specks you saw in the pamphlet. Thank you.
I could that for you. Give me a few days. I am recovering from illness at the moment, but I will definitely help you out
Thanks 😊
The bow comes with the D97 Fast Flight endless loop string...
It did, but I couldn't stand it. Changing it to a flemish twist fast flight made a big difference in how it shoots. I keep them around in case it's needed at some point. With the exception of my long bow all of the ones I own have come with an endless loop that has been changed out. Could just be me but I am not a fan of them. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. Have a great day my friend.
What is your draw length, the bow is set at 28 inches if you are pulling longer than 28 inches you will add about 2 to 3 pounds of draw weight for every inch over 28 inches. I have owned and tested several as you can view on my youtube channel.. I have not come across one that was that far off in poundage..
Great follow up review..
28.5 / 29 is my draw length. When I scaled it I was surprised and confused as well. I understand a few pounds give or take , but not that much. Ive seen other reviews mentioning the draw weight being over/ under what was purchased. That aside I can work with it. Hopefully there will be no other issues going forward. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. Have a great day my friend.
Whenever people see a low price tag they're automatically skeptical and rightly so. I also think we like to justify paying several hundred dollars for a bow and don't like the idea that we could be outshot by a bow costing a fraction of the price. I certainly prefer my Damon-Howatt hunter but this is a fun bow to stump around with and perfectly capable of taking game.
Great comment and insight my friend. I agree the appeal of owning a high end bow or anything for that matter is not a bad thing, but there are many lower priced options out there that are great shooters as well. When I shot compound exclusively I always wanted the latest and greatest because I felt like I was missing something. I think at the end of the day whatever feels right and gives you enjoyment in this sport is all that really matters. And yes this bow is very capable of taking game. I really appreciate your time my friend. Have a great evening. Best regards
I concur about the old Howatt/Martin bows. I shot my Martin Hatfield Takedown Hunter alongside my Black Hunter recurve the other day. The Black Hunter held its own alongside the MHTH but the Hatfield just feels and shoots like the premium bow it is. Still smoking arrows at 30+ years old.
I bought my Black Hunter in 40lb for competing 3D at my local club. The lowest poundage bow I had before the BH is 50lb and apparently that made some people a bit nervous lol
I ordered a 60 hope I can adapt to fast shooting with it
That's awesome my friend. I really hope you enjoy it! Let me know how it works out for you
Great review. I was wondering what your draw length is. I'm 6'2" and have measured mine too be 30". Some have suggested this bow isn't big enough for me but others have said the limbs are long enough that it will be fine. Could you provide any insight?
Thanks for watching and commenting. My draw length is 28.5 / 29 inches. The bow specs stated show the bow good up to 30 inches. After that you would possibly experience stacking. With the bow length of 60 inches it should be good at your height and draw length. Where the problem presents itself is if your overall bow length is short / shorter it gets a bit cramped for taller people. It's not that it wouldn't shoot or perform any different, it would lead to over extending the limbs and adding a lot of stress to them over the course of time. This one is actually the shortest bow that I own, all of my others are 62, 64, and 70 inches in length. This one performs no different in my shot cycle. I hope that helps my friend. Thanks again and have a great day. Best regards
Thank you for the great detailed review! I'm seriously considering purchasing this bow. My only concern is it being a 60" bow and with my 30-31" draw will that be too much with my 6'3" frame? What is your take for my comfort zone? Thanks for any input!
Thanks for the comment and the question. At 6 3 you might find it a bit cramped but it will work for you. The reason I say that is I found the sight window to be a bit small for my liking. It’s not a deal breaker though. I too am a 30 inch draw and it worked well for me with no issues. If you can get used to the sight window it will make a good shooter for you.
I hope that helps. Thank you again. Have a great day. Best regards
Good video. Please, what fistmell do you have on that bow? thanks
Brilliant bow
Thank you for the comment and your time my friend. Have a great day. Best regards
Are the limbs symmetrical? I know that they're often meant to be different on other bows and the bottom one has writing on it's underside but the two I received are identical and neither has the writing on them.
I'm not sure if they are. If you received two unmarked I wonder if you received two upper limbs? Have you contacted the seller? I would definitely start there. I appreciate your time. Let me know what you find out about the limbs. Have a great evening. Best regards
Great review, Brother. Does it come in a left handed version?
Hey friend. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. It does come in a left hand version. Most all the offerings I see listed are right hand, but I have found left handed offering as well. If you get one let me know how you like it. Best regards and have a great evening!
Fyi....1 video of this bow breaking that I saw was clearly a user issue! The guy had a Flemish twist string on it when the limb popped apart
That's odd that the flemmish twist string broke the bow. I've gone back and forth with endless loop and flemish. Both seemed to work well. I wonder if something else may have been underlying with the bow casuing failure.
At any rate, I hope the person it happened to was ok. Thank you for the time my friend. Have a great evening.
@@ScottWinters those bows don't have reinforced limb tips and should only have a dacron string...they can't handle the extra pressure from fast flight or flemish twist strings.
I’m your opinion I’m looking into getting into the sport of archery and in to the trad world I’ve looked at that bow would you honestly recommend it to some new like myself or is there a recurve bow that you would recommend for me like I said I was looking at that one along with a few others and now I’m on the fence about it and again another great video and I like you honest opinion
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. In all honesty I would not recommend this bow to a new archer. My reasoning is simple, there are too many accounts of people having issues with it. I really think I got lucky only having the one minor issue of incorrect draw weight. My two recommendations for beginner bows are the Samick Sage, and the Soutwest Archery Ghost take down long bow. Both are excellent in my opinion. Yes the Sage gets bagged on a good bit, but it is still one of my favorites to shoot. In the 4 years I have had it there has never been an issue with it. Also, since it is a take down you can purchase new limbs as you grow into it. The Ghost long bow is unique in the fact that you can purchase additional recurve limbs to add to it making it a dual setup.
There is also a brand that goes by the name of Ragim, and I believe it's an Italian made bow that I have heard good things about, but I have no experience with them.
Whatever you decide on just make sure it's the right fit for you. As you progress in your archery journey you will find what works and doesn't work for you personally. I really hope you find that perfect fit for you. If I can help in any way I will be glad to. Have a great evening my friend!
@@ScottWinters thanks if I have anymore questions I’ll reach out to you
Great video! And excellent precision you have!
I thought about order such a bow from Mandarin Duck.
And they sell arrows spine 500 suitable for draw weights from 30-60 pounds.
Do you have any comment to that? Will the same arrow be good for both 30 and 60 pounds? Is it a compromise that they are optimal for 45 pound and still works decent within the span of +- 15 pounds?
Thank you for the comment my friend. 500 spined arrows will work for a few different draw weights. You may have to tune them specific to your weight to get the best arrow flight. I use them from 37 up to 45 pound draw weights and have no issues with them. Use a full length arrow with heavier weights up front for lower draw weights and they should work well. Any bow close to center cut does not have to deal with an archers paradox so the arrow flight is not affected as much. I hope that helps. I appreciate your time. Have a great evening. Best regards.
they got traction because they smartly sent one to survival lily, a half naked archer shooting arrows. she has 2m subs or something so yeah. smart. paid her a lot probably too. i certainly would have charged them 50k for the video,.
Which vendor did you use to buy the bow? Thanks
Im starting to buy my first bow ever since i’ve been shooting with rifles and this has been my choice between the SAS maverick one piece and my question about this bow is :
Can you put sights on it ? , im not familiar with bows when aiming
If the bow has inserts to attach sights you definitely can add a sight to the bow. Look at the specs and see if it has the inserts. I appreciate the question. Have a great evening. Best regards

I have a 30.5 draw and I had to send mine back because it just stacks and pinches too much as you get on that back end.
Agreed. I had the same issues with mine. Mine was not so much a stacking issue, but it felt cramped for me. The sight window was a bit limited as well. I appreciate your time and the comment. Have a great evening. Best regards
hello, thank you for video. I em new in archery and i see on ebay this bow for 103$ is this good first bow or do you know better in that range of price. Thank you
Hello my friend. Apologies for the delayed response. I think the bow is a decent bow. The only negative I can see for a new archer is the quality control with the bow. For anyone new to the sport i would be hesitant to recommend this bow. I would instead look for something like the samick Sage in a low draw weight. For a starter bow it's a decent all around bow with little to no issues that I have heard of. That being said there are numerous options for a starter bow on the market. I hope you find the right one for you and that you have an awesome time learning archery. Have a great evening my friend. Best regards
@@ScottWinters Thank you for replay .
Would you say the quality might be better if ordered from Mandarin Duck?
I would agree with that. Because there are so many different vendors the quality control would not be the same as it would from the manufacturer. I think someone mentioned a lot of bows like this are seconds. I can’t speak to that with any authority though.
I appreciate your question. Thank you for your time. Have a great day my friend. Best regards
My 50 lb black hunter turned our to be 65lb at my draw length, was wondering why my elbow was getting sore after a couple hours
That’s a lot of extra weight. Hopefully you are getting used to the added weight. The QC for the bows is hit or miss. It may be due to so many offerings by different vendors.
I appreciate your time and the comment. Have a great evening. Best regards
Hey sorry iam totalt new to this but the string heve 1 smal loop and one bigger loop will I heve the bigger loop at the top limb?
Yes, always put the larger loop on the top limb.
@@ScottWintersah okey thx 🤗
Currently I’m debating getting this particular bow or purchasing the Galaxy Ember from Landcaster Archery. What’s your thoughts ???
If it were me buying again, I would most likely go with the longbow version or another bow altogether. I don't hear about many issues with the long bow black hunter. There are also little annoyances with it like the small sight window because of the short riser, but that's just me being particular. If you get one without quality control issues they are not a bad bow. But that seems to be hit or miss between vendors of this bow. I can't speak for the Galaxy ember, but I do own a galaxy longbow and I am pleased with it. I hope that helps. Thanks for taking the time to comment and for the question. Have a great day my friend. Best regards
The only reason I’ve always stayed clear of longbows they are known to be at the slowest option compared to a traditional recurve with the reflexed limbs. Don’t get me wrong the traditional long bow is an attractive looking bow just not my cup of tea since I’m looking more for performance.
I appreciate the response. I do like my longbow. I would not hunt with it, but for me it's fun to get out and shoot it. If you get the Ember let me know your thoughts on it. Have a great day my friend!
Welp I purchased the galaxy ember from Lancaster archery 45 pound traditional recurve bow and it shoots beautifully.
Thank you for letting me know. That's awesome my friend. It's good to hear when someone gets something that they enjoy. Happy shooting my friend. Have a great day. Best regards.
Can you do a review on Mandarin ducks carbon arrows? Are they worth buying?
I can definitely check them out. I'd like to see if they come in 500 spine longer than 30 inches. That would be a big selling point for me.
Thank you for the comment / question my friend. Have a great day
Im height 4"11 would this bow be too big for me? Looking intp getting into bow hunting deer or coyote with
This bow would good for your height. Your draw length would determine how big the biw should be. If your draw length is 28 or shorter a 62 inch bow or shorter would be a good fit. If you a long draw length like I do then you should go with a longer overall length bow. This is not a hard and fast rule, but it can help go in the right direction. I hope that helped. Thank you for your time. Have a great day. Best regards
Do you have a left and right handed version. You shoot right handed outside but left handed inside. Two different bows. Just saying...
I cant find your first video on this bow, did you take it down?
It should still be available. I don’t take videos down unless there is some issue with them. I will check on that.
Have a great day. Best regards
@ScottWinters it's possible I just overlooked it or the algorithm didn't bring it up for some reason. I searched by "black hunter bow scottwinters" so I figured that would bring it up. I'll look manually through your published videos, may be easier that way 🤔
i wonder why these guys and some others did away with the bolts you can screw in yourself and require an ALAN key... like the samick spyder XL...was it purely an asthetic thing? to make it so you didnt have two big black knobs sticking out the riser?
I didn't like the large limb bolts. They are great if you take the limbs off for storage or travel purposes. Personal preference I think more than anything. Thank you for time and the comment. Have a great evening. Best regard
@@ScottWinters so you dont unstring often
@@thirdworldrider6991 when I'm not shooting I always unstring my bows, I just don't remove the limbs. Have a great day. Best regards
what LBS would you recommend for a small 14 year old kid
In my opinion, If I were starting my son out on a traditional bow I would opt for a 25 pound option with a shorter overall AMO, something 60 inches long or a little shorter length. There are some great takedown setups on the market that allow for growth as you become stronger and more proficient. I know that seems like a really light weight, but it will be worth it and more enjoyable in the long run during the learning process. Now your child may be stronger could possibly pull more draw weight, but it makes it harder to get and be consistent with proper form and anchoring. By chance is there a local archery shop or club near to you? Most shops are willing to help in these type decisions and can see what weight will work for each individual. I hope that helps you. I wish you all the best in finding that just right bow. Have a great evening. Best regards
Can/should you put a stick on arrow rest on this?
Yes you could. If I remember correctly it came with one when I purchased it. I believe it was a really cheap one. There are some decent ones in the market. Thanks for the question. Have a great day. Best regards.
@@ScottWinters thanks mate👍
Yeah, you were going on a bit too much about the weight. Yes, it’s a big problem, but I would have been more interested in hearing if they lived up to the high standards they keep promoting about their customer service, than how disappointed you were. You should have contacted them so we could all see if they would make good.
You did for sure have a point about people who can’t test themselves, but even people who can test don’t profit from you doing nothing, and the company wasn’t chastised for their mistake. From what I hear, I still think I may get the bow, but I’d feel a lot better if I knew I could deal with an issue
Thank you for the comment. I will definitely keep that in mind going forward to add to my review process. I would venture a guess that most companies will work with whatever issue one may have. I never pursued it, mad didn't think anything about at the time.
Again I appreciate your time. Have a great day. Best regards
buy a whole longbow, 110 , limbs 80-90, id just buy the bow
It does seem more cost effective that way. Thanks for commenting my friend. Best regards
M looking one 60 poundage
How does it compare to the samic? I buy vintage normally, but been considering a hunter or the Samic sage. I saw in the back ground you had what looked like a sage.
Thanks
Ken, I think it ranks with the Samick performance wise, and outshines the Sage in the riser design, fit and finish. The Sage feels more blocky whereas the BH feels much more comfortable in the hand. Where I think it pales is the fact that there have been numerous issues with some of these. If that could be addressed and corrected it would make for a no brainer.I really got lucky that I only had one issue with the one I purchased. I love my Samick. I have not had a single issue with it in the years I've owned it. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and make a comment. Have a great evening my friend!
Can someone please send me the link to order this bow ( the real one)
YT doesn’t allow linking in the comments. However, you can go to mandarin duck . net and find what your looking for. Mandarin duck should be the real version. I think it’s now called the MK2. Best regards
Thank you! I really appreciate it.
Any arrows you can recommend if I order the 60 lbs (hope it's not to much)
You are welcome. Any arrow with the right spine will be good. Defiantly stay in the 300 350 spine range. At 60 lbs you want the spine to be stiff to avoid breaking the arrows. On release. I hope that helps. Have a great day. Best regards
great bow... wouldnt buy again.... sums up this confusing video.
Thank you for the comment. Have a great evening

I don’t own a Chinese made bow, and never will.
Thank you for the comment. Have a great evening.
Best regards
Don't give up so easy, someday you might get a decent job and you can finally step up to a China bow. Until then, God bless
Thanks for the comment. Have a great evening. Best regards.
Are you a pastor ?
I am not, I have not been in the ministry in years. I grew weary of the hypocrisy that has become rampant in the modern church. I have not let it water down my faith though. Thanks for asking. Have a great day. Best regards
Found lots of different versions of this bow by different 'brands'. Anybody know what the original is or which one is a good one? Worried about picking up a shitty knock off. Thanks :)
Thank you for your time my friend. The original is by Mandarin Duck. A quick search should bring up their website. Shipping will be longer but you will get an authentic version of the bow.
Thanks again my friend. Have a great evening. Best regards
@@ScottWinters thank you so much for your help, much appreciated. I found the site :)
