Please do not use arrows that are too light. Specification Overall Bow Length: 50" Bow String Length: 44.5" Draw Weight: 20-55lbs @28" Brace Height: 6.7" Max Draw Length: 32" GPP: 9 Hand Orientation: Ambidextrous Material: Glass Fiber, Bamboo, Wood Package: Bow *1, Bow string *1 Based on the large recurve of the entire bow arm, the Turkish bow adds a ridge to the front half of the bow arm to provide a stable hardness to the bow arm instead of the recurve of the front half of the bow arm. Perhaps this can reduce the difficulty of the process and increase the stability of the bow body to achieve the same effect. This design is also found on Tatar bows and Indo-Persian bows. The advantage of this design is that it is more stable and it does not add much weight to the bow arm. The bow handle is oval in shape, with the bow handle convex outward and straight on the inner side, which is more suitable for hand holding. Its structure is light and short, making it a weapon in war. Review: Bow exploded after barely 20 arrows (Edit: but received excellent customer service afterwards) - I bought this bow with great hopes seeing many reviews praising its performance but had in mind also the few were it didn't last long, unfortunately that had to be my case. The bow didn't last more than 25 shots in two sessions, on the first it was a quick test and after 6 arrows I was very happy with its performance and no sign of delamination appeared, on the second one after 15 shots or so the bow suddenly exploded in my hand without any prior creaking sound or visible cracks, both times I used heavy arrows over 12gpp and never exceeded 31 inches when drawing and kept it stored in the bow sock inside home and away from sunlight. On every bow I have I always check for damage or limb misalignment before and after stringing and shooting them and I couldn't see anything wrong in this one so I'm quite baffled on what could have happened, my only guess is due to AZ dry climate the glue on the bamboo might have failed. Edit: I contacted AF archery explaining my experience and they kindly sent me another bow, I haven't been able to test it thoroughly yet but seems to be well made Review: Great performance, low cost - Short, fast bow with a big comfortable handle. The 50lb model is easy to shoot, accurate and has good penetrating power. ## Features - [HIGH PERFORMANCE RECURVE BOW] This Longbow manufactured by AF provides you with an excellent shooting experience and reaches accurate targets easily.

If your bow is let's say 30# @ 28" your arrow must have minimum weight of 30 multiplied by 0.6 30*0.6 = 18 grain. Now if your draw length is 30" you must realize your draw force will increase, roughly 2# /inch. So your actually draw force will be 34# @30" thus you will need your arrows 34*0.6 = 20.4 grains, and also a greater arrow spine. You must account for your draw length and estimete the force of the bow at your draw length and all this will influence your arrow weight and spine. Hope this helps :) **Q: i need a 40lb bow with 26"draw will this bow work?** A: When you order you can specify that you want 40# at 26". Or order a 45# bow that will then be weaker at 26" draw. IMPORTANT: They will measure draw length from front of handle as is traditional. For compound bows they usually measure from 1.25" in front of the handle so if you are used to that way of measuring then you basically have a 27.25" draw and so you are already close to the draw at which they measure... **Q: Does this bow available for left hands?** A: Yes ，Ambidextrous **Q: Whats the recommended arrow weight for a 45 pound bow** A: 417gn minimum arrow weight for a 45lbs bow, I would say. - I have the bow with 30lbs draw weight and that requires a minimum arrow weight of 287gn. The best brace hight would be 17cm. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bow exploded after barely 20 arrows (Edit: but received excellent customer service afterwards) *by L***S on March 4, 2026* I bought this bow with great hopes seeing many reviews praising its performance but had in mind also the few were it didn't last long, unfortunately that had to be my case.
