Yes WE are intelligent enough. OMG ... Pleased don't let yourself get affected by those strange people. You are the best bow reviewer that exist on KZfaq!!!

A Tatar bow? Of course it is. A tradition only truly lives if it continues to evolve. The Raider keeps the distinctive geometry and composite construction approach of the historical Tatar bows and marries them to modern materials thus enabling us - who lack a good deal of the skill set of the Tatars of past centuries - to enjoy it today. I am not going to hit a tea cup at 70 yards from the back of a galloping horse any time soon but I can shoot to the very best of my ability using this wonderful bow. Rob has taken the genius of past centuries out of the museum and into our hands to carry forward this tradition in our own age.

the best thing about "experts" is ignoring them ..... excellent review as always Armin

Who ever said you're lying just wants to be declared an internet expert. Your videos are great. No need to change a thing.

I'd suppose a real tatar bow would have a tatar shooting it too. Good review Armin, you have the best Archery content on youtube

In my opinion one of the best designs ever made in the Asiatic recurve style. Beautiful bow Robert you craftsmanship is impeccable. Love the draw length. I wish I could get more people stateside to start looking at the Asiatic designs. You shoot where I live and people look at me like I'm crazy till they see my groupings compared to there hunting bows with a shelf. Great review as always Armin! Thank you for what you do for us as a community. Shoot well my friends!

Nice bow and thorough review. Regarding the naysayers and the arguments of traditional vs modern, I suspect that if you gave an ancient Mongol or Turkish or Tatar bow maker access to some of our modern materials there would be a pile of horn and sinew tossed out the window in seconds flat! They would keep the timber though 😀

Thanks for the great review Armin! Great job as always. 👍👌

Just started shooting this style of bow. I used to only shoot longbows but I love a shorter bow now. I have a 29.75 draw and have always struggled finding short bows that allow for my draw. I purchased the Bodnik Horseman after watching your review, and I love it because it has a shelf that has helped me make the transition. GREAT CHANNEL! Thank you!!

Great review Armin, fab bow, well done Rob. Rob's ambition to persuade more archers to shoot asiatic bows is commendable and is being realised. Asiatic bows have so much attention now, maybe because thay have a different and more organic feel than the mass produced recurves and flat bows many Western archers encounter when taking up the sport, especially with a thumb draw. Your channel plays no small part in this.

I really love watching your reviews. I just got back from an elk hunt with my Grozer bow. Didn't get to shoot at anything. But I was ready and loved carrying such a light bow. My buddy complained the whole time carrying his heavy Matthews compound.

People talk a lot. But your videos are absolutely beautiful. The whole world thanks!

I love those little rants in black and white 😁 Following that guys logic, there are no "real" bows in the world any more. As for long syahs causing stacking, I think we can all agree the Kheshig disproves that 😀

WHO THE HELL CALLS YOU A LIAR BECAUSE YOU PROPERLY CALL A BOW THE STYLE IT IS???!!!!! Materials evolve as does bow making. But what seems to not evolve are these people, let's call them "Traditionalist Snobs" who think there is only one way to shoot. One way to make a bow. One way to do anything. I have come across people in groups on Facebook, they take all the joy and fun out of a joyous and fun hobby (And I have much joy and fun in archery). Your response was nice, respectful and cool headed Armin, you are a good person, truthfully my temper would have boiled over, especially if someone called me a liar. Your example of the Damascus blade was great. Anyway, you are not a liar (especially if you are reading the paper that came with the bow). Great video, lovely bow. Keep up the work sir.

Box that bad boy back up and send it to me . I'll give it a proper home . Great review as always!

Paragon💪Beautiful and its impressive curves. Thanks for this Nice Review.

Oh that is a work of art. Interesting curves. She has power and strength.

Yes, this is the One that I want ...Beautiful build with fantastic Options, because my Draw is about 32" and normal Bows are not funny with that. Awesome Bow from Paragon and a Happy Day for the Winner of this Dreambow.

It’s an awesome bow , and I like it’s links to the original war bows. I have two, one in a much heavier draw and it’s stunning . Paragon know there stuff 👍

Wowee Armin, you can really tell, when you review a superb bow like that, that it is worth every penny. How many bows have I said "this is the one for my collection" about? This would top it! By the way, Mr Troll deserves the Patrons' Holy Cowpat award. 💩 😉

What an astonishingly looking bow at full draw. Truly a work of art. Thank you Armin for showcasing this great bow. Flaxen Saxon.

String is a bit noisy, I would add string silencers for hunting. However, seems a very nice bow and the price seems reasonable for the quality.

Thanks for the the great review, Armin! Ignore the "buzzing" of so called experts trying to type themselves smarter and just enjoy the moment with a beautiful bow.

Thanks very much for another nice rewiev! As to the matter of being "real" I think it is more about drawweight hten materials i.e. how deadly this thing could be. Majority of contemporary bows are just a historic reconstrution and yes just a hobby. Thank you again for what and how you do it mr. Hirmer!

I have one 46@ 28 and I absolutely love it and would recommend it strongly even for beginners

Rob isending me one of these next week. I am excited. Thanks for the evaluation.

people who get cranky about calling something by its traditional name because it is made from modern materials are just jealous. fantastic review.

I like the video before it starts coz i know it'll be a quality review

Everything Redeyez below has said Is True Mate !!! You are the BEST !!

Dude. That bow looks beautiful.

These reviews are always so well done. I’m really wondering who the couple of people are that always give Armin’s reviews a thumbs down and why. Is it really only because it isn’t a wood, horn and sinew bow?

Awesome review Armin, really nice!! Keep going, and I'll see you in Maastricht. I also admire your patience :-p with stupid questions

Good one by Paragon Bows...Raider seems to be a big size Tatar Bow.. brace height is also more than other comparable Bows.. people should avoid comparison of modern material Bows with bio composite bows, their making is different, keeping is different and their likings too...Armin perfectly answered and very well reviewed the Raider..Pretty and impressive Bow ... But for price.. i think I should wait for a sale offer😂🤣

crimean tatar style. beautiful

Awesome review Armin. And a really impressive bow.

I really love the video, I know these take alot of time and effort to do but I'm sure I can speak for everyone when I say we're looking forward to the next video whatever it may be :3 Also don't pay attention to those kinda people, everyone with an IQ point knows these are reproductions of the originals using modern materials. "Real" bows would be really awesome to see or even have, maybe once your channel blows up and you get tons more people we will see more revenue coming to you so these equipments won't be an issue on the price tag

Hi Meister Armin!! Good review for this so nice bow, thank's🙏😊🙏 Paragon is a so good bowmaker that they send you their pretty bow and ... The green grass for your garden in the same packaging as we can see😄😄😄😄😄😄😄 We know UK is so famous for their greens !!! Friendly Richard Coeur de Lion 👍😎🏹🇫🇷

Pretty sharp looking bow and it seams fast thank for sharing.

I was drooling as it came out of the plastic. I think its a Tartar bow, so there.

Paragon!!!! 😍😍😍😍

Very nice review! Keep up the great work Boss!

That's a beautiful bow.

I do love some pea counting now and then, but I think someone was really bored or a politician maybe? I can not believe someone would start a discussion about such a... well I do not want to write this here. Keep on doing your great job Armin! :))

Awesome bow and even better review! Thank you. Even for not being a "real" bow

Great Review . Thank you

Such a affectionate review :-) Thank you Master

great review as always! very nice bow!

What a beast!!!

Oh no, I cannot shoot this bow or my alibow fiberglass tatar, I'm not a true Tatar.... I'm a lie! xD Anyway... incredible bow! As always you are making a great service to the archery community and global community in general with your videos reviews, martial arts (not only archey), thoughts and zen master philosophe (more of that too, the world needs that right now) and with patreon thing you are giving the opportunity of people try bows that otherwise would've be very (like with conversion currency, customs and all), VERY expensive to get in one's country. Thank you.

Amazing bow, thanks for the great review ;)

Very good looking bow

I don't understand the complaint. This is not the review of an "historically accurate authentic Tatar bow", it's not advertised as such: it's the review of a Paragon Raider bow, which happens to have a Tatar inspired design, or - for short - is a "Tatar" bow. I would think we're all intelligent enough to understand this, but maybe I'm wrong. Now, I'd love to see that comparison, as much as everybody else, so if someone wants to donate a "real" Tatar bow to you, I'm all for it :) For an more likely achievable comparison, I'd like to see a Tatar vs Ottoman/Turkish style, purely in terms of design features, so ideally a same brand/same materials/same draw weight comparison: pros/cons, maybe holding the arrows in the bow hand is more/less comfortable? stacking? draw length? speed? hand shock? vibrations? I don't know, you get the idea.

I like that bow .🇺🇸👍

Really a nice review, please keep on...Hector

"Find another hobby" 😂 😂 😂. Love the channel all bows are real bows even a pvc pipe bow is still a bow

623.90 us currency

Another nice bow

Damn, already regretting I am not a patreon yet :D

Terrific.

Robert makes good Bows, but that Rattle?? Tried to figure out where it came from ???

Armin i have noticed you often nock the arrows with the feather looking towards the handle, is that no problem? I just always thought it would be, just curious. Great videos btw!

why does it take so long to deliver (almost 1 year!)? The same is for other good laminated (Simon, Mariner ecc.) I understand real horn bows, which need long periods for drying etc., but still this is a laminate. So I don't understand why such a long time.

It does not sound like a very fast bow, though good control

Thank you once again for a great rewiew 🤗 Obviously I can't live without this bow for much longer 😁 So how is it you get to enter in the give-away?

How much range have this bow, shooting in straigh line?

Wait, did you say we have a chance to win this bow?? I couldn’t tell if that’s what you said but if I’m correct, how can I learn more? :)

if you ask me if in Ancient times they had the modern materials we have they would use it instead of all the horn and etc.

This is the prittyest bow i've ever seen

not something i would be able to afford any time soon :D

Hello Armin, Very nice bow and very good review as always ! But aren`t the speeds that you get out of it a bit disapointing ? I guess that the Kheshig and and the Grozer Assyrian biocomposite are more efficient at the same draw weights ? I have the latter two in my posession and the Grozer remains my favoutite one - and if it only is because of that raw, natural and historic appearance !

after 35+ years of hunting with a compound bow, I am on the hunt for a traditional bow since having cervical fusion. what is the actual draw weight for that bow at 31"? I'm in the US and need at least 40 lbs draw .

Looks pretty similar to teratai bow aka lotus bow...

Hearing other bows you've shot at a lower price with less sound I'd be kinda ticked paying all that for that sound. You can hear everything.

When will you do an original Lasagna bow using the semolina pasta?

Arming my friend. This bow vs the Raptor? Which is the best feeling?

Why do u not wax the string before shooting. Do they already come with wax on them. On my bow it seems to help with vibration

Wait, these are not real tatar bows? *burns nearest Vegh bow hanging on the wall*

How did you construct your targets ?

Hello,can I ask how much lb is exactly this bow

Great bow and a great review again. Carbon arrows are not real, laminated bows aren't, motorcycles ain't horses and a house is not a tepee. This discussion is pure BS and a waste of time and energy.

Armin how do I become a Patron?

🤤🤤🤤

Hi Armin, may I know the price of this bow ?

Don’t engage with internet Trolls ^_^. Great review though.

I think this new chrono shows way too low fps.

Cool bow but €500. Like jeez

People built bow from the materials they had available. Then they found new materials and built the bows out of them. Then they evolved those materials and perfected them and built them out of thet. A wooden branch, a better wooden branch, bamboo, laminated wood/bamboo, horn, sinew.. they used THE MOST ADVANCED MATERIALS of THEIR TIME. They did not used horn/sinew because someone said that's the only real thing for a bow. You could argue that stone is the perfect material for a broadhead cause it's what was historically used. Is an english logbow a fake bow cause it's just a piece of yew? Is an entire british history a lie? Why do you lie, Armin, these fake bows don't shoot arrows in your video, you have a secret mechanism and use Photoshop bla bla bla.. I guess the only real car is a Ford Model T.

Hahahhaha, bei “find another hobby“ hats mich weggebogen 🙋

Too much expensive, too long and slow; it should have been much faster due to its length, drawing scale and money :)
