Had the bow set up at a pro shop. It performed just fine kzread.infoUgkxQEKUoxLWwayEDZR0NKB-5limn4MBU-2L . And I would say this is a good starting now that I could pass down to my son when he is older.But the package was missing the release and a nock was missing from one arrow.Dealing with customer support was terrible. They suggested I buy a new release rather than correct their own quality control issue because it’s to expensive for the. to ship it out from China.Update: manufacturer got back to me and resolved the issue. I retract the above statement.

My first bow was a 5 dollar fiberglass recurve I bought at a flea market when I was a kid. It had about a 35# draw and I was lethal with it on the rabbits in the fields. By the time I was 15 the ranchers around let me hunt them around their gardens because they didn't want anyone using guns around their livestock. Since their isn't many archers I had a monopoly on those rabbits. The first rancher was skeptical that I would get any rabbits especially with my equipment. Two months later I searched for 3 hours without a sign of rabbit no scat nothing. He approached me in stunned disbelief saying, you killed every single rabbit here. Never underestimate a cheap used bow.

In the U.K. You need a huge, fenced off overshoot distance behind the target area, with no public footpaths, or roads, and a large area with no habitation, or public risk to each side, before you can even apply for permission to practice archery within the boundary of an urban, or suburban area. And even then many clubs have closed down because public liability insurance premiums are often stupidly high, due to a sudden rise in court awarded payments to anyone who so much as tripped over a kerb in the U.K. while drunk... The last club I belonged to had more than 150 members, paying heavy fees, but despite the lack of any accidents or claims, the new insurance premium quoted, rose without explanation by thousands of pounds to more than 50% above the club’s yearly income.

Wow! In all honesty. You're one of the best spoken teacher/youtuber I've ever seen. I'm thinking on buying that Amazon bow and needed a well review on it. And wow.... You nailed it HARD. thank you I really appreciate it!

Great video. Appreciate the brutal honesty, and you nailed it with a good sense of humour. Nice shootin' Tex!

that's what I've been talking about. a samick sage can be had for cheap. quality control isn't the best so you have to pick out a good one. I've had mine and I shot the snot out of it drawing 31" past the 20000 shots mark with no problems drawing 62#. I've shot many different bows with different pricetags into thousands of dollars. the sage or any other value bow is as accurate as the next. what you really pay for in a high end bow is the material, the brand name, or the warm fuzzy feeling/status of having something you paid through the nose for. neither of these things will make it any more accurate. which is why I love traditional archery. YOU are as good as YOU are.

Well Brother, this is the first of your videos I've ever viewed. I own a Hoyt/Easton compound. I bought a SinoArt Falcon Recurve with a 70lb draw from Amazon in March 2018.

The principle of starting archery with a cheap bow is reasonable (some people start and give up quite quickly), but as a long-term investment in terms of durability, chances are that the Hoyt bow will better stand the test of time and intensive usage, as opposed to a bow of an unknown brand and probably not made with the best materials available for cost reasons. The 36 lb Hoyt recurve bow I purchased over 20 years ago for competitions is still in fine shape: an outstanding American-made product indeed. Quality comes at a cost and requires years of expertise: you ultimately get what you pay for.

Tex, is this the same bow or company as the mandarin duck phantom bow from amazon?

buy what you can afford!!!!!!! I got in archery because I saw you videos here on KZread, but I took a different approach in that I looked for a used recurve bows, older bows. However not collectable but useable. Thanks for all your posting.

arrows are more important than bows when it comes to acuracy. any bow shoots fine with practice. I agree that it's about getting close but 40 yard practice makes you a better short range shooter.

To play devil's advocate and speaking from experience, going too cheap is frustrating and a turnoff. With things like arrows, you may save some money by getting China made arrows... BUT when 3 of your new dozen arrows break whether it be the tip, nock, shaft or fletchings, it quickly becomes as expensive as buying quality the first time. As far as bows go, I love my $150 Sage!

I'm not familiar enough with archery (long, casual, interest) to say whether you're right or not but you come through as direct and honest, even about your own flaws. Good video, added another subscriber, will have a look through your back catalogue :)

Cheap is cheap. I see your point (especially for takedown bows) but there are plenty of American companies (Hoyt and Martin) that sell decent recurves in the $150 range. Throwing away a hundred bucks for unfixable broken limbs, delaminations or bent risers is dumb too. I don't think the industry doesn't provide good starter bows. These companies take pride in their name and won't sell crap. If people want to overpay for ''survival'' bows they don't know how to use anyway that's not the bow companies fault.

@ 4:55 the first grouping was shot by the cheaper amazon bow, and the second grouping by the hoyt. How do I Know? Well, in the first grouping the arrow did not penetrate deeper, while in the second grouping, the arrows penetrated deeper. This means that the arrows in the second group were launched at a much higher velocity. And by looking at the two bows side by side, it is fair to conclude that the Hoyt had thicker limbs on it, which implies a higher poundage, hence the deeper penetration of arrows in the second group.

@@rrjcavallo I might have missed the detail because the host is too slow in his delivery and I might have skipped a few bits. But I watched this video again, yes you're right. But, towards the end of the video, the arrows that he shot from the Hoyt penetrated deeper. I suggest you go watch that bit again. I don't know but maybe the thicker (stiffer) limbs are causing less flex and more spring-back force and causing the arrows to launch at a higher velocity. Not to mention the brace height on the Hoyt is visibly more as well, causing higher tension also resulting in a higher velocity launch of arrows. See, it also proves a thing or two about the premium products. Obviously, they have a better R&D and produce high(er) quality products. If what you said about the poundage was true, then Hoyt has certainly engineered a product that is more efficient in it's working even with a lesser draw weight.

I appreciate your passion and nice hat. Not to mention you’re 100% correct. Practice makes Permanent.

Lots of rambling, the message is lost in translation...this video could have been like 2minutes

I would disagree. I would say that a 180lb english longbow (traditionally made) would be far sturdier than that 45lb fibreglass piece, no? And the D shaped cross section means that if well kept, it would likely outlast these as well. I understand that's not what you meant, just an interesting point. As for the principal being the same, again I would have to say no. Aluminium arrows do not have the flex required by traditional arrows in order for the archer’s paradox to properly take place. Rather they would bend. To combat this, modern recurve bows have a shelf cut to or past centre to eliminate the archer’s paradox wholly. Therefore, in my opinion, they have removed the tradition from bow-making, arrow making, fletching, and even the art and skill itself. Where then, I must ask, is the traditional aspect? These bows are just as modern as any compound. I'm not denying that it may be classified as such, I merely believe it to be an incorrect classification by definition.

@BilboSwagginsTheThird

6 жыл бұрын

A fiberglass bow will, without a doubt, be sturdier than a 180# english longbow, just because it says 45# doesn't mean that's its max, that would just be it's draw weight at 28" or whatever draw the manufacturer chooses, at ~170lbs I could probably hang on one without it breaking, if it's not super cheaply made. Carbon fiber arrows, much more common than aluminium because aluminium has a tendency to bend out of shape, can easily flex enough to make use of the archers paradox, they are also stronger and lighter than wood, which means they go faster, which means they have more energy. An example of that I can comment on is my arrows, my new arrows are 30 grains lighter, they go 10fps faster, they also have a 1 ft-lbs KE increase keeping everything else the same, and yes I know it doesn't matter I needed new arrows and they were cheaper. Speaking of that, I wonder how much of a difference it would make in velocity and KE if someone used a modern carbon fiber arrow with a 180# longbow.

OK that was painful to watch. How many times can you say the same thing. OK and seriously who is telling people to buy a pvc or "survival" bow to learn archery? The quality of the bow does matter. But like you said (sort of) you have to learn a lot before a lower end bow isn't going to work. Bows in the 100 - 200 range are great for a long time if they hold up. Heck I have some old bear bows that cost me a whopping 20-30 dollars. They are awesome bows. I can usually set someone completely up with arrows and gear for $100 if your looking. The trick there is how the bow is treated and knowing what to look for. As for the 100 amazon bow. I would be interested to see how it holds up over time and lot and lots of shooing. Put a couple thousand shots through it and if it is still good, then it isn't a bad way to go. Now for the cut past center and laminated limbs.... Ugh where do I start. Basically what your getting at is that it isn't so cheap they don't laminate and just use solid fiberglass. Although I have a few old kids bows that still shoot great that are all fiberglass. I wouldn't recommend them to more than a kid. Now the center cut thing. That is more of an issue with arrow spine. You can get away with a little more with a bow "cut past center" and is probably a good idea but not an absolute necessity. I have a built Osage self bows. No lamination no cut, not even close to center just shooting off my knuckle. And they shoot great. Again Spine of the arrow is key here.

I was seriously about to read your comment but... then I pressed read more.

thanks for the update so now I know what to buy

Good stuff, couldn't agree with you more. When I got into archery my brother in law pushed me to get a 600 plus compound, but I was not so hip on the price tag and the complexity of compounds and their need for often repair of strings. I like the simplicity of the re curve and went with the samick sage for about 150 total with accessories included. 3 years later I am still enjoying my cheap bow with an increased skill level with while only investing about 250-350 dollars total (string, arrows, target, etc). It is a great way to get started into archery as a hobby or for hunting, can't beat the bang for the buck.

performance through persistence... i like that. you cant buy performance, but you can buy potential. the higher quality bow you buy makes the bow more consistent. so if the arrow fails to hit the target... then you just suck as an archer :P

Wait. is the $100 Amazon bow made in the U.S.A.? Cool! I'll take two! But if it's from China....I'll only take one.

This implies American made means it'll break and you will need a replacement? Hence having to buy two?

If he waited for a month then it was probably shipped over seas for the hundred dollar bow

Hey, thanks for the great lecture on the what's important with these two bows. I would have liked to hear you mention how much the Hoyt was. I bought a bow a little while ago and now realize I should have done a little homework before I made the purchase. I benefited from your clear explanation of contrast and comparison of the two bows.

Tex, I love your honesty, take care and shoot straight

I was with you until you shit on us for enjoying or in your words, having a passion, for making our own bows. Some of us would rather make something with our own hands so when it turns out right we can use it with pride because we made it. What is more American than that?

Red Beard it isn't about taking pride in building, but if you are as you say American, why not use the best materials our great country has to offer? What is American about dumpster diving?

BUT PVC is made in China! So how is this 'American Bow' ???

I've got a feeling he doesn't mean a really nicely made PVC bow, I've seen a lot of extremely nice ones that people put a ton of time into and they're very well preforming bows. I think he's referring to an unchanged tube of PVC that has 2 notches carved into it, because that type of thing will never get anywhere close to the performance of a real bow. As for handmade bows out of wood; it depends on the craftsman, and their personal experience with making bows.

Slow down ,do you have marbles in your mouth

I am crying lol lol a thank u for being blunt and keeping it 100% I so grateful for this video great job

I completely agree you can do the same with a Sami sage.. I shot mine for 2 years until my friends got me a higher end bow... the differences from a high end bow and budget are very minor and only realized once you get pretty good.. You're absolutely right.

I love your honest no B.S. straight talk. Keep up the good work.

So does it change anything if you have a slip in system or a bolt on system for attatching the limbs ?

so with less expensive take down bows I worry ab the attachment points failing/not working...is this a valid concern?

dude, im already 3-4 minutes into this.. total awesomeness!

GREAT VIDEO SIR, just ordered my first bow and I would love to buy american but as a novice I chose to go with the cheaper option. I got a PSE recurve for $116 on amazon. New sub

With a smelting kit i could make the receiver, arrows, but what is best for making the Finn's natural way? Or a better substitute than wood?

Thanks Tex! Enjoyed the video. I started archery as a Boy Scout some 45 years ago...archery is a lot different now with a lot of options to choose from. You offer a good take for people who maybe want to consider this option. Cheap bow made in China. Maybe someone tries this and later on gets a more expensive American made bow. I got back into the sport by finding an old but usable Bear Compound on Craigslist. Took it to the local outfitters to make sure it was OK to shoot...they said it would be dangerous and wanted to sell me a $800.00 cam bow instead. I have been shooting the Bear for four years now and it works great! Anyway...appreciate your videos and opinions Tex!

Strictly speaking, it is possible to force a flower into bloom, but you're correct on point. Great vid.

I just wanna know if that's an f179 bow on amazon, cause I plan on getting it. thanks

Most archers: you can't get a good bow for less than $200. Tex: hold my beer.

Dear Sir, Iwould like to see speed test of both bow and than we can say somthing
