The SiCai Take Down bow by AF Archery (35lbs / 28”)
The SiCai Take Down by AF Archery (35 lbs/ 28”)
Some time back I have watched a review by Armin about the SiCai and I thought that this is a very beautiful bow!
Mid of March this year I have asked Ronald from Bamboo Archery, if he would be able to order a TD version of the SiCai with Golden Sandalwood - and he could! 😁👍
The first version was delivered to Ronald end of April 2023… sadly the bow was too weak and we have asked for a replacement.
I have unboxed the new bow 20th August 2023 and shot the SiCai the first time during this video ☺️
Every siyah is 9” long (including the fade out), the bending length is 26,5“ and feels smooth.
The Ming style design is defined by beautiful reflex-deflex-reflex curves and pronounced siyahs.
The draw feels very smooth, the sound at release is a little high pitched, the shooting is precise with spine 500 arrows or wooden arrows matching the strength.
I love the rounded handle, matching my hand very well and the Golden Sandalwood verneer!
The bow also includes a stable core (carbon layer).
As always I have marked the chapters for your time management 😁

Thank you so much, dear Sigman! ☺️🙏🙏 Yes, I agree with you! Only the Bearpaw glassfibre quality doesn’t reflect the AF standard, but I think that’s not necessarily an AF related topic… I can imagine, that this cloudiness isn’t that obvious with the standard SiCai ☺️👍
Beautiful bow!

I agree! Thank you so much, dear RS! ☺️🙏🙏
Thank you for the video. I’m debating on getting either the Birds Eye Maple version of the SiCai or the Blue Birds Eye version of the Tatar. I own the Oak Tatar with the China Fiberglass and I wanted to get one with Bearpaw fiberglass.

☺️🙏 At your service! 😁 Difficult decision… since there is always natural material involved, the pattern can be more or less exciting 😉 so, I would choose by the color… Best wishes and much fun with your future new bow! 👊☺️🏹
great video! can you make one about your glove and thumb protection? How to find good quality equipment?

That will be fine. Here in germany IT is very tricky to order Things to the theme. Habe mir schon aus Verzweiflung einen Schießhandschuh aus Korea bestellt, was hast du für Tipps? Hier in Niedersachsen gibt es eigentlich keine Händler die Zubehör zur daumentechnik da haben

@@ingo8382 Schutzausrüstung und Daumenringe gehören zu den Dingen, die man selbst probieren muss 😁 Was für mich super ist, musst Du nicht unbedingt auch super finden, vielleicht ist es nur ok.. 😁 Deswegen ist es seht gut, wenn Du verschiedene Schießhandschuhe probierst… Wenn er Dir nicht passen sollte, kannst Du gerne nächstes Jahr zum Treffen des Thumbarchery Germany e.V. in Schalkau oder Sünna kommen! Da könntest Du evtl. nicht passendes weiter verkaufen und Dir Anregungen oder Empfehlungen holen. 😁 Liebe Grüße in die Niederlande! 👋😃

😁 Thank you so much, dear Brother! ☺️🙏🙏 The t-shirt is one of my favorites 😁 Yes, I’m happy with the AF bows as well! Meanwhile, I have the Crab bow, Tatar, Zhu Ran and this SiCai… I cross fingers, that your physio brings you back to a good movement in the shoulders and you can practice archery again! See you, soon! 😃🍀🍀🍀
