Black Hunter Longbow

I love this bow, i ordered one for my wife, and another gor my self. I recently switched to lefty due to eye dominance. I needed an inexpensive bow to try. So i looked on youtube for reviews. The Black Hunter was very prominent and highly rated, this and the crazy low price helped my decision.Switching hands was life changing!This bow shoots great is pretty smooth and puts the arrows where i am looking. And the price cant be beat, i just ordered one with hunting weight limbs(45) , limbs were available separately but for the cost i can keep one for stumping ( or a loaner) and one set up and hunt readyThe only thing i think it needs straight away is a good string, the one it came with was a bit loud . I twisted up some flemish strings and it was even better!

Good fit, great bow for the money!

This was not a very expensive item for what I got. It is a very beautiful, and functional low. It was easy to string. I’ve already shot it and I just received it this morning. It will be a fantastic asset to my collection.

Initially when I had purchased this item, I went to put it together and the limb attachment bolt did not fit in the limb and was unable to tighten it down. The tolerance between the holes was too tight. I had returned the item and Glurak had gotten in touch with me and wanted more information on what happened and why I was having trouble. They ended up sending me another bow and it went together much more smoothly. They seemed to really understand my feedback and did what they could to make the whole process of buying one of their bows seamless. I really like the company and the integrity that they have to make this purchase right! Thank you Glurak. Also, now that I have had the bow for a few months I am happy to report that the bow works very well, and I am very pleased with its functionality. The only reason why I give this bow 4 stars is because of the initial mishap. The second bow receives a 5-star rating for sure!

I bought this bow after watching hours of reviews for something under $200 to start out with. Kramer Ammons has two fantastic youtube breakdowns on this bow (one for the recurve and one for the longbow), and I'm extremely satisfied with the purchase. (I went with the longbow.) I've shot nearly 3,000 arrows with it now, and plan to buy a fancier bow string once the basic one that it comes with wears out, but have absolutely no complaints, especially for the price. As I practice each day, my shots get more and more accurate, and I have no doubt whatsoever that my own technique and skills are the only impediment to perfection. It's relatively lightweight and quiet, though I also added a homemade wool string silencer, mostly just for fun, as I'm just using it for target practice anyway. I'm an average-height dude with average arm strength (presumably, I'm not a powerlifter or anything) and started out with the 35lb model. I'm planning to buy another 25lb bow for my wife and daughter to start out with, and if they take to the sport like I have, it will be very easy to buy another set or two of risers if they want more power thanks to the interchangeable format. All-in-all, it's absolutely delivered on the hype, at nearly half the price I thought I might have to pay to get started. 5 stars all the way.

I have bought two of these bows so far. A 40 and a 45. I cannot say enough good things about these bows. At this price point, you could get into the sport of traditional archery for under $200 and that’s crazy. I do think it is important to note that I do not believe this bow is really a takedown. I feel like the hardware included in the bow to make it a takedown is not robust enough to handle frequent breakdown and put together of the bow. This is not a big deal to me, but it may be a nonstarter for some. Also, mine has yet to fail. It just seems like the fitment is weird and with repeated use Could easily strip out.

For $97, it is a very good deal. ...if you have a garage. I do, and I expected some issues, which I am working on. The riser bolts are 13 mm shorter than the riser insert, so I bought some longer bolts. Then I thought better of it, and cut the bolt heads off, and drilled / tapped some knurled solid brass Hob. Lob. drawer pulls ( housewares 50% off this week) and made it a manual takedown. Honestly I would have done it anyway. BTW, the bolts are M8 by 1.25 and NO, Sam Sage bolts don't fit. For a beginner learning to keep the arrow on the shelf, good luck. The shelf slopes downward, and there is a long slant downwards away from the riser. I'll be doing surgery on it. Be careful when you string, that your string is seated, it likes to slide outwards....surgery. The good.....beautiful limbs, very good fit and finish. Beautiful bow. I bought 30 lb limbs. It is 30.27 lbs ( average of 10 measures at 7 1/2" brace height). Fast shipping. I will be ordering more limbs , once I finish the riser.

I have previously purchased 3 Black Hunter bows sold by Obert. They are all nice bows for the money. This Glurak black Hunter is poor quality compared to the others. The limb wedges are to short and the limbs are lifting away from the riser / limb bed rather than being fully on the pad. The locating pins pulled out of the riser and stuck in the limbs. The radius from sight window to arrow rest ledge is so radiused the arrow is pushed away from the window. The limbs are cut atrociously. Wavy from wedge to tip. The limbs are excessively wide towards to tips for no good reason. The limb bolt holes arevoversise, which allows the limbs to shift left to right.Do yourself a favor, buy Ober Black Hunters, or a PMZ Coral Snake. I have one, and it’s a great value. The only junk bow I’ve purchased out of 9 bows is a Glurak.
