Ming Kaiyuan Fiberglass by Alibow - Review

Finally, the Kaiyuan Fibreglass in the test.
Good bow for the price, surprisingly not really a hand shock!
Draws smooth up to 32”

    I have one of these bows, it's quite tough and one of my favorites because its so small. If I miss a target and the arrow goes into the woods I use the hooks in the siahs to catch the arrow and drag it back from the bushes. I cut out a hole at the bottom of a small cross-body bag so i can holster it on my back while i ride a mountain bike. Whenever i take new friends to the archery range i always let them borrow this bow, its quite easy for beginners, im not worried if they break it because it was only 100 dollars, and they always leave impressed that they got to shoot an "authentic" looking bow LOL Once it got stuck in the spokes of my bike wheel and made me crash, now theres a dent in the siah next to the alibow signature but the bow didn't twist at all

Sidenote: I was really impressed with Alibow's arrows. I ordered six when I got my tartar and they match really well.

    Another great review, thanks Armin. I notice you often mention making sure to order arrows that fit the bow and was wondering how you do that through Alibow. Is it best to specify a number of arrows in the comments when ordering the bow, or send them a separate email, or perhaps when ordering the arrows, ask for them to be made to fit a particular bow?

    Hello Armin, loving your reviews. Very informative! this seems like a great beginner bow for shooting traditional recurves. I had a question about poundage though: So say when I ordered the bow I wanted it to be 35lbs. Seems like a good initial draw weight right? but if I want to increase the poundage in the future would I just have to get a new string, or replace the entire bow? I know it's a "stupid" question, but I'm ignorant about how composites work. the bow I have can have it's limbs unscrewed and replaced with higher poundages. Thanks, Jack

    @@AllofArchery When you heard that leaving a fiberglass bow strung would not damage the bow, they were probably referring to a western Olympic recurve. The whole limb is made of one piece of flexible fiberglass and is very resilient to the tension of the bowstring, not deforming over time. However, these asiatic recurves have wood siyahs joined to the fiberglass limbs. If this joint were left under tension constantly for long periods of time it could be harmful.
