AF Archery Turkish Bow Laminated Recurve Horse Bow

Looks nice, but it's very fragile and won't take ANY heat from the sun.

This is the second bow that I've had of this exact type. I had to send the first bow back because it had a chip in the handle. Unfortunately, this one completely delaminated from just a few minutes of direct sunlight as I sat the bow down to talk to someone. The temperature wasn't even very high, but the sun is very intense here. Future buyers beware as you might need to keep it further from the sun. Maybe it was defective glue? Honestly, I still have no clue why it happened so fast, but overall, I do love this bow. It's fast and light and beautiful, but has a couple durability issues. I guess one could expect that from the price point, though. This thing is way under priced, so they must have done a couple things a little cheaper. I do still love this bow, but I'm just a little disappointed that it's so fragile.

Really, though, this thing is capable of driving tacks, but it's more difficult to get the performance from this than a regular shelf recurve, but it's way more fun!

Great value for a Turkish bow.

The bow is exceptional. For it's size, it out performs all the other four bows I own. After seeing reviews on you tube, my only concern would be not to shoot it in temperatures below 20 degrees Fahrenheit because there is a risk of cracking the bow limbs.

Can be shot indoors with ease because of it's length.

It hit a 50 yard target in 16 mph winds consistently.

Great Bow

An amazing bow especially for the price. This is what I recommend to anyone looking to get into archery or who needs a solid backup bow on a hunt.

Great Bow

This is a historically accurate, and accurate, lightweight, horse bow, though I shoot it dismounted. The left photo are arrows shot at 18 yards. The right photo shows arrows shot; 2 at 40 yards, 2 at 35, 2 at 30, 1 at 25, and 1 at 20 yards. My bow draws 50 lbs at 28 inches.
