NICELY DONE. It's impressive that TopArchery watched your review of their metal-riser recurve and sent you this bow, in part to demonstrate that the company has been working on its quality control. That's precisely what major Australian dealer Steven Hann has reported (on KZread) about the TopArchery brand, which he sells. You wanted some feedback on the new camera, and I noticed the improvement in clarity right away. Now here's some unrelated feedback that you DIDN'T request: First, you are undoubtedly a better shot and more successful bowhunter than I'll ever be. That said, the longtime coach in me noticed that you drop the bow slightly (but abruptly) right after releasing each arrow. MY early archery coach told me that this would hurt my accuracy/consistency, and when I stopped doing it, my groups were better. You might consider re-watching yourself in this video and seeing whether you agree. (I could DEFINITELY be wrong.)

Thank you for watching and the feedback. I e had that little hitch in my shot process for about 4 years now, and I have tried a million things you get rid of it. Here recently I have changed my shot process a bit and have reduced that drop significantly. I used to have the problem of drawing my bow and losing focus of the target as I found my anchor, so my bow would drift high and right. I would start to move to target and as I did, I would drop the bow back to aim as I released in a real quick motion. I had it so long that I got really good at controlling it. I started drawing low and anchoring different and it has helped me significantly.

I've been planning on getting this bow for a while now. Your video has convinced me. It would be great to see a review of the 15" riser ILF recurve they make. Basicially the same as your bow here, just an ILF version.

I have two black hunter longbows that I like very much. I have an older riser that was made out of maple diamond wood which is a heavier riser. I have another black hunter I bought from Lancaster archery and the riser is made out of a lighter in weight diamond wood. I bought 42 pound longbow limbs off Amazon also the limbs were a total one inch longer than the Lancaster black hunter.I do put one quarter elevated leather strip on the shelf. This I find center shots the bow better.

" For the longest little bit " good one

I have this exact riser, with 50lb limbs, and I have the natural wood with 30lb limbs. It's a little soft on the finish (as I stratched it easily), but for a starter bow, it's nice.

Picked one up about a year ago. Todd from Florida reviewed it. Excellent price and it is a really good looking and good shooting bow. Thanks for this review. Well done.

I like the quality of the new camera. Very crisp and clear. If you get a chance take a look at Armin Hirmer's review of the PMZ Coral snake. Woods a little different but sure looks like the same bow to me.

It feels pretty good in the hand. I’m thinking of taking it hunting once or twice if I get the chance. I may get a new string and get it quieted down though.

Maybe their riser damping for the limbs isn't quite enough as well, but I like it a lot, in fact I'm going to look for a leftie at 40lb.

@@peterscott225 awesome! A lot of people will have different opinions, but typically with cheaper bows, quality control is the issue.

i bought a recurve on amazon made by tidewe it has a 35lb draw for me to learn with and at 35lbs its fairly easy to hold at full draw.. i have been a compound shooter forever .!! any how this bow look very similar to the one you have!! Mine came with a stringer, a tab ,a string, 6 tidewe branded carbon arrows 500 spine 30 inch and .006 straightness. i ordered feather fletched arrows but i did mess with it shooting vanes off the shelf but the result wasnt good cause arrow flight not good..any how when i get my arrows i will set it up properly and try to get into traditional archery!! Looks like fun but i havent used a stick bow since i was a kid !! Thanks for the video very informative!!

Thanks for watching! And good luck with the stickbow! It sure is addictive.

I have had my Black Hunter for a little over three yeas. I love it. My nephew ordered one. His vibrates all over the place. It is just plain uncomfortable to shoot. I guess it is just the luck of the draw with the less expensive bows.

Typically it’s the quality control that makes them cheap. The good thing is they often accept returns and you can send em back and get another. I’ve tried a few budget bows, but this is the only one I’ve ever got that shot good.

Now i want more bows 😩

@feelthespiritofthewild

I got mine in 45 pounds.

Ordered twice and once the limbs were 5lbs less and the next time they were 5lbs more than ordered. The main issue I have is that this bow uses the same riser design as the Black Hunter (Junxing F171, F178). But the limb attachment is not compatible with Black Hunter limbs. You would expect that a small company like Toparchery/Huntingdoor would have their bows following the existing standards. But for no good reason they decided that their riser and limbs not be compatible with anything else. So, Toaparchery you suck!

@@AntHill-l9w that’s the biggest thing with cheaper bows. The bow is usually pretty decent but quality control is the issue. Some people get them and think they’re awesome for the price, but others will get them and they won’t be the same. Anything under 400$ you can expect little quality control, but for beginners it’s good to have the cheaper option. As long as it flings the arrow for them and doesn’t make the experience unenjoyable.

“Nearly touched those arrows” Arrows are 3 inches apart🙄🙄 Not a fan of fast flight cause I like a quiet bow….this dude obviously has no idea how to tune a bow🙄

That’s very true. However a lot of people that want to get into the sport may not be able to afford a 500$ bow. The Bear Montana is probably the best option I can think of as a beginner bow, and it sells around 400$. I try not to even go to Walmart because I strive so hard to support American made or small/local business. That being said, there are people that want to get into shooting trad bows that can’t afford that 400$ Montana as a first bow, so they never even start. As they begin with the foreign made bow, they may get to the next point to be the next person to keep custom bowyers in business. They never paid me to do this. I just figured it would be a good option for beginners who can’t afford 750$ to get started before they even know they like it. Thank you for watching and your input! Have a great day!

Buying what you can afford, is not selling out, and if the quality and performance of imports gets a little better, American bow manufacturers will be in real trouble. Blame the politicians and big business for the lopsided trade agreements. Watch what happens when they let the cheaper trucks and cars come in.
