How long did it take to come

nice, things change and improve, thanks for watching

How did it work out for you?

are they from the same manufacturer?

and my pet peeve is that bows should always come with the appropriate information.. draw weight at 28", maximum draw length, string length and brace height. And also, for a lot of them, mark the bottom limb.

hey would you say the laminated one is worth the cost over the fiberglass one?

turkish is amazing too :) have fun und schöne Grüße

tatar :)

thats true. I might order one at some point... the thing is the waiting time and shipping problems with alibow right now

Yeah that's on the list... will be a longer one

Oo, I'm going to be reading the response here.

Another one waiting to read the response here :)

Another one waiting as well....

Seems we're all waiting...

Please reply Mr Armin lol

all will be good :) enjoy shooting

My bow arrived and it looks great. The belly and back appear to be thin strips of bamboo with some very beautiful wood in between. It is very light and looks to be very well made. I cannot see any flaws. The fiberglass would have been cheaper, but the wood is awesome. I got outside this morning and shot about 40 arrows before the heat got unbearable here. I am so glad I did not start with a higher draw weight. 30 pounds allows me to work on form and technique without shaking and makes it much more pleasurable. Later on, I might move up to a 45 pound Manchu, but this is perfect for now. I was interested in archery, but would not have done this or known about Alibow without seeing them here on your channel. Thank you Armin, for putting out this content. I did let Alibow know that you sent me.

enjoy and thanks for sharing

What kind of rubber dampers?

we use mostly carbon sixhundred spine, or light weight spruce wood arrows from bearpaw

Hello Sebastian, I would go with khan, draws smoother :)

@@ArminHirmer Thanks a lot for your recommendation Armin, I really appreciate it.

I'm not Armin but use a 30 #. I'm using a 40 when I did it in the summer but am thinking a 30 would be perfect to practice form

Snake

@@ArminHirmer thanks! Will do that

Wird bald da sein :) have fun

I most certainly will😊. Thanks for all the great reviews and tips on thumbring archery they helped me a lot.

Hello Afif. You could check if you can build up a thicker handle, use heavier arrows and maybe check if you need to change the grasp of the bow. If this all fails... I don't know

@@ArminHirmer Ah, thank you! Sometimes I forget just how much you've covered

check Alibow directly, they ship worldwide and you can ask for matching arrows in wood or carbon. alibowshop.com

Armin Hirmer thanks! And for 40lbs bow, what arrow weight is correct?

usually you will find the draw weight written on the limb, this will be then the upper one or you have o the belly side the name written, this will be the lower one

Thank you so much! This one had the name written, and once we knew it was the bottom, we also noticed that the top had extra binding, and that the bow was not bi-laterally symmetrical, as we first thought. We will remember that as well for the future. Once again, thank you for your response. :)

@@jdimarti I don't know if you still use this account but I am looking to buy this as my first horsebow, how has the bow been for you? would you recommend it?

its fine, the bow will work great for you. and one day you will do thumb release and draw more

Turn your elbow out :)

@@ArminHirmer i cannot have bent front arm. it unstabilizes my posture and accuracy. brace height is 6" and it keeps hitting my wrist. maybe this is not the bow for me. i also got their turkish bow after checking out your review, it's pure awesomeness!

oh hey can you recommend me a manchu bow? i just have to get one. or two. i would prefer a bit better quality on that one so maybe laminated etc. (qinghai from alibow is on my list too)

I’m in Texas too. What have you decided?

Is it a question of the weight of the arrow (and hunting arrowhead) or the speed? I think if you can figure out which factor is required for hunting, then it's a question of working back to the rule of thumb for these bows which is 10 grains per pound of draw weight, from memory.

yes you should unstring the bow after using

@@ArminHirmer Thank you very much sir.

Armin Hirmer would this apply to the snake recurve as well? Mine came slightly used and was already strung. Thank you.

After learning the ease of the step through method, I’m unstringing after each draw session. (Going slow and working on form!)

Easier with Tatar in my opinion

@@ArminHirmer Thank you!

Carbon 600 spine

@@ArminHirmer what that be the same arrows for the Turkish fiberglass bow also? What about aluminium arrows?

@@ArminHirmer would it still be 600 spine when my draw is around 28/29"?

wood and carbon works fine

Vaheguroo ji ka Khalsa, Vaheguroo ji ki Fateh, veere using the thumb draw is it comfortable to shoot with 40 lbs? I have very powerful homemade bow but im not sure what weight to get for this.

@@DeepSingh-wv2zishould be aight Singh depending on if u practice hymn draw already. Get 35 or 40

I would go with 10gpp, which will be 400grn. There are many good wood arrow suppliers.

@@ArminHirmer thank you very much , I'm watching your reviews and benefited from it

Hi. Did you buy them recently or a while ago. had a turkish one too, but 2-3 years ago. The string nock split as the hole was too narrow on the siyah. The newer ones should not have this problem. sorry to hear that, but good to know thank you

Yes, I just purchased them in the month of January! They both split at the wood grain!! right down the face.

I wrote to them too now with your issue. lets see if it helps speeding up things

Thanks, maybe you can get them to read their emails.

can you give me your email please, Alibow needs to know, so they can check your problem

same performance. depends more if you like the handle of turkish or tatar more. tatar is a bit longer, so a bit more forgiving :)

My friend just ordered one of these. I"ll have to see how I feel about it when it gets here. My other friend ordered a Gengis Khan thanks to your review and he loves it. I need you to review the Tibetan Qinghai! :P

hahaha will do my best - once I have again a little money to spare :D

Hi, I have a 40 # Khan and a 35# Qinghai bow. Both shoot very well indeed. The Ghengis Khan surprisingly is a bit more forgiving than the Qinghai even though it is shorter. I don't Know your shooting style but both bows are much more accurate when shot thumb release. Hope this is helpfull.

Thanks for your response! Does the Qinghai have any redeeming factors to make up for it being less forgiving? I just love the way it looks haha

surprisingly not a lot

yes I sell them, but I don't have them on the website. Please write me an email

you should always stay in the recommended brace height, but yes you can adjust it a bit

@@ArminHirmer Thank you for your response. Have enjoyed learning archery. Am buying a Snake Bow to begin. Like being a kid again at 67 years old. :D

@@seaotter52 Thinking about doing the same right now at 24. Tried to get back into archery a few years ago and over bowed myself with a #45 PSE Honor. Looking at the SAS Snake and the SAS Robin Hood. Just found out about these AliBows and I love the prices I'm seeing so far, but I'm wondering what their shipping situation is like right now with the COVID-19.

@@seaotter52 Did you end up getting the Snake?

Yes

@@ArminHirmer thank you my friend you are the best!

with high enough # for small game sure

I would go with 9

@@ArminHirmer thanks Armin!

@@ArminHirmer Well, I have been using sufficiently heavy arrows, but in less than a week, the center serving broke. It seems like it's cotton thread, even.

@@bryanlunt7579 center serving has most probably nothing to do with gpp. and it is easy to fix. Mostly it get damaged by to tight nocking points or sharp edged nocks. Sometimes it just comes loose

@@ArminHirmer Thank you again. It broke at the end of the serving, not where the nocks are, maybe it hit something on my clothing, like a button. I'll have it replaced. I did hear from alibow and they suggest 10 GPP as I realize now you do recommend in the video (after watching it again). Thank you again for your help.

I dont know

WOW!!! sorry to hear that!

Cara, eu tbm tô pensando em importar um arco da alibow aqui pro Brasil. Vc conseguiu receber?

Da segunda vez que o arco veio pro brasil eu consegui, só demorou, e eu tive que pagar 60% do valor em taxas. Mas recebi.

Rodolfo S Jeronimo Qual o preço do arco que vc tentou comprar? Pq até onde eu sei, para compras abaixo de 100 dólares, vc não pode ser taxado. Então eu ia pegar um arco de fibra de vidro de 70 ou 80 dólares,pra evitar o imposto. Me passa seu e-mail? Tenho tantas dúvidas! Jamais imaginei encontrar um BR que manda dessas coisas.

I guess it depends. When you go hunting, you don't want to have any unnecessary movement. But for the rest: khatra rules :D

@@ArminHirmer ah yes which makes also a short draw length better as well less movement
