Some videos are guys in a nice studio talking for 25 minutes but not saying much. This is 7 minutes of straight to the point beginners instruction, warts and all. Great video, very informative.
I didn’t get the string and all the things that was supposed to come with it so I bought a Flemish twist from 3 Rivers Archery and going to use Velcro for the shelf. Says it’s going to be here tomorrow. I’ve had the bow since August and haven’t even shot it yet.
@@magnumopus1628 I have a longer draw and the longbow feels more comfortable to me but I enjoy shooting them both. I have a video where I shoot both back to back. Check it out! Black Hunter Recurve vs Longbow czcams.com/video/ejagOgtqXbM/video.html
My black hunter recurve limbs are both the same shape. So there's know indicator of which is meant to be the top or bottom. There is a serial number on each limb. With a 7A precursor of the serial number on one limb and a 7B on the other. I strung it up when I first got it, with the 7A on top. Since my bow doesn't have a unique shape on the limbs or riser. Does it matter where the 7A or 7B goes? Or do I just need to make sure that I mount them the same way every time?
I have seen a lot of videos of these bows. They seem decent enough quality and shoot well also. I think the big question is, will the limbs retain their tensile strength over time and quantity of arrows shot. Most of the bows I have from the sixties have maintained there’s but I believe the quality of construction may have been higher in those days?
Thats a great question! The BH longbow I have is two years old, I bought it from a friend who owned it for a year and I have owned for about a year. From the average that I shoot and that he shot, I would guess this bow has shot at least 3,000 arrows. Feels the same so far but I guess time will tell.
Just got the blue version at 35 lbs for my fiance. She only has a 26 inch draw and I heard somewhere that every inch u lose off that 28 inch draw will drop the draw weight by like 2.5 lbs so it should only be drawing back at like 30 lbs instead of 35
@@PeterVenkman760 don't know yet just set it up at Christmas and have to take her to a bow shop to get some arrows cut and a shooting glove and stuff like that.
He must have bought it direct from the manufacturer. Ober, Mandarin, and others buy these cheap from China and sell them under their own brand with a markup.
No the limbs are going to pull the same weight no matter what the string. Lowering the brace height will make it pull a little easier and make it shoot quicker, but doesn’t change draw weight
I’m 6’2” and have a 31” draw length. Ive shot it about 1,000 times. So far so good. Should just add up to heavier poundage, around 2-3 lbs per inches drawn past 28”
All bow manufactures list the "maximum" draw length for each model. 28-inches is the starting standard for most persons draw length. I typically draw to 31.5 inches with a recurve with a glove/tab, or about 30.5 with a string and mechanical release. The Black Hunter as shown on the Amazon web site has a total Bow length of 60 inches tip to tip, with a Draw length from 28 inches to a Maximum draw length of 30 inches. They list the typical Brace height at between 7.5 to 8 inches. So to answer, No this models draw length will be too short for your Archery needs.
Excellent for a beginner. Easy to set up and very affordable. I started with a 40 pound recurve and a 45 pound longbow version. Depending on your size/strength you may want to start lower than that but you can always buy more limbs and different weights. Enjoy the journey
500 possibly. I would check out www.3riversarchery.com and use their spine calculator. It will take in to consideration other factors that will narrow it down for you.
My ten yr old daughter shot a 25 pound. I mean you can start there but seems like a waste of time to start that low if you're an adult man. Your muscles adapt fairly quickly. Maybe 35# to start with.
Definitely! I brought my 45# BH longbow all last season. Getting in and out of trees and walking through the woods is a certain amount of abuse on the bow and at the price point I didn’t mind at all.
@@keldonator I had been using the longbow most leading up to deer season opening so I just stuck with it for consistency. I think either would be fine.
It’s not uncommon to have unbranded products sell for less and be the exact same as the branded product. It’s less expensive for a manufacturer to run 24/7 and produce unbranded/generic product during those off hours. The only change might be a slight difference in dye color to accommodate any patent. If there is one. If there is no patent, then there is no variation. I just got my bow, and other than the lack of branding, there appears to be no variation. Very happy with it, except for where it was made…but what isn’t made there anymore? Ugh.
@@aannddyychang6162 it is Mandarin duck black hunter. Looks like if you buy it from their own website even then there is no name on it so, propably they are same stuff, its not unbranded if even the "original" doesnt have the brand ;). Sometimes the "ebay" versions has black hunter text on it.
Yes! Recommend it for a starter bow for sure or even a bow to shoot that you're less worried about because it didn't cost $800. I'd get the longbow version. I have both and like the longbow better.

Just got mine today. I’ve got a lot to learn but I think I’ve got a great starter
Same here. Set it up and a basement range at the house.
That's the best camera angle I've seen for shooting.
I have got one Left Handed and 45 pounds TN Love It,👍🇺🇸👍👍
I'm getting a lefty too! First bow
What size are the limb bolts 1/4 or 5/16 ? Same with the two stabilizing pins what size?

They left the string out!? That’s terrible! You will enjoy shooting with your new string.
The smile on you face says it all 👍
Always a blast
I’m just getting into archery. I ordered one of these the other day.
Great bow! You’ll enjoy it
That's a right- hand bow. Could you put on a left- hand riser to make it left hand?? Same brand. Thanks!
Been thinking about getting the longbow version when the funds are right for another bow. Black Hunter has a nice look.
got any tools and like 30$ try making one
I have both and I like the longbow better

Is there any noticeable difference between the two or is it that longbows are simply your personal preference?

Wow the one I got the limbs look exactly the same as each other and there's nothing to let u know what one goes on the top or bottom.
Yeah you sold me one whether you know it or not and I love mine , I'm a beginner but it's fun to fish with and stuff 👍

heck yeah! Nothing better than sharing hobbies with your significant other
I see that your a saddle hunter! 👍
I'm a cruzr myself
Cool vid, what brand originally makes the black hunter? I see many brands with that model
China
Mandarin Duck is the original maker from China..
Chyna
the riser usually has the logo on it...why is yours unbranded?
He must have bought it direct from the manufacturer. Ober, Mandarin, and others buy these cheap from China and sell them under their own brand with a markup.
What arrows do you use for that? I bought the same bow and it will be here in about 2 hours😊
I’m shooting the Easton axis carbon 500 spine I believe
One question can I put a longer string on it to make its draw weight less
No but you can order limbs for them that are lower poundage
No the limbs are going to pull the same weight no matter what the string. Lowering the brace height will make it pull a little easier and make it shoot quicker, but doesn’t change draw weight
Bro if I shoot this bow at 32 (my draw) I can break the limbs? Or just it is gonna be more powerful
I’m 6’2” and have a 31” draw length. Ive shot it about 1,000 times. So far so good. Should just add up to heavier poundage, around 2-3 lbs per inches drawn past 28”

500 possibly. I would check out www.3riversarchery.com and use their spine calculator. It will take in to consideration other factors that will narrow it down for you.
@@jderamus Thank you
For yer ol'ady ?
If you are new buy the 30 or 25. You want to shoot all day not 15 minutes.

is there a way to mount a site on this bow?

Better hope kids don’t run in front of truck when shooting.
