    The new bow is just a touch slower and less impactful, but I have to say the sound of firing it is sooo much nicer. Aesthetically, it's a lovely bow. Nice to see that it's also an effective one, too.

    PLEASE make that video on curved shots omg. in skyrim i discovered a little known probably bug that lets you curve arrows by going into slow mo zoom while walking sideways and shooting and i had a lot of fun doing trick shots, im really curious what kinds of weird things you can do with curving arrows irl (though im sure it's not gonna work the same as skyrim lol). i haven't seen anything like that before!

    ​@@Cedar_Wolf if it helps, as seen in older uploads, he already had a proficient background in pole, and while the quality of the videos isn't necessarily the greatest, some of his older videos where he's first experimenting and mapping out how to do tricks might be good to look into? specifically, from what i remember, "how to shoot upside down," "archery twin shot: how to do it, and is there any point" and his demonstration at the leeds university campus could be good, but there's certainly stuff i'm forgetting there's also a few videos of him practicing up that are a nice look in terms of showing he was finding things and perfecting them as he went, and didn't have it all perfect on the first go (apologies if this level of knowledge is in some way unsettling, i just have adhd and sped through a significant portion of both the blumineck youtube channel and tiktok account in the span of a couple days some months ago)

    Great video! But that is not a wood bow--it is a wood cored glass bow. The wood core is pretty and saves weight by separating the two glass fiber layers (which always makes a lighter bow than a solid glass bow made of the same fiberglass). You are an amazingly accomplished instinctive shooter!

I have a compound and shoot it competently but I do want to start shooting recurve but am unsure what is a good bow to start with other than of course a low draw weight one, so glad you ended up reviewing bows.

    yes I was wondering this too, it's helpful to clarify whether it was bought with your own money or sent for free to review. He said they were helpful with shipping "throughout the ordering process" and in the uk you are legally required to declare paid reviews, so he probably did buy it himself. The review does hold more weight if you say that explicitly rather than leaving people to guess.

    Speaking from the US side of the pond, as I recall the accent joke (from Mel Brooks' Robin Hood: Men in Tights(1993)) was mostly aimed at Kevin Costner's role as the titular character from Robin Hood: Prince of Theives (1991), wherein I would charitably describe Mr. Costner's efforts at using any sort of recognizable English accent (even to my dumb American ears) as "nonexistent." Obviously, he's a fantastic actor outside of that and by no means the only one to fail at accents in general, but as I recall the press at the time had an absolute field day ragging on him for it.

    The Asiatic bows are all sold in pounds of draw weight at 28"--though the length might be in centimeters, the brace height in inches and the width of the bow at the arrow pass in millimeters. Probably because the astonishing world wide growth in traditional archery was kicked off in the United States.
