AF Archery 50" Turkish Recurve Bow Traditional Laminated Horse Bow 20-50lbs

Bow is great! Shoot well and fun! Felt like a Comanche. I was learning how to shoot as fast as possible without aiming ( Comanche style) and I got pretty good at it! Very fun!

The bow arrived quickly. However, my first impression was disappointing—the finish is glossy, not the matte clear‑coat shown in the photos (minus one star). A closer inspection revealed an imperfect veneer with a long visible line running across it (minus another star). I won’t return the bow for these issues, but I’m not happy about them, and my honeymoon phase with AF Archery is officially over. I’ll be looking elsewhere for my next Asiatic bow. The only positive from this purchase is the bow’s performance. It shoots just as well as my AF Tatar Horse Bow, which is impressive—but not enough to overlook the finish problems.

Like AF archery products, this I my 5th bow from AF. Great looks, excellent performance.

This is one of those items that you want to spend money on and not cheap out on if you plan on actually using it. This bow is the best of both worlds; It's affordable, has very nice construction quality and has a nice style as well. You'll still get archer's paradox since it's ambidextrous but that's normal. I've shot it over 200 times with 28 and 30 inch practice arrows at full draw length for those arrows and it's held up just fine so far. Great product.

I shot almost a thousand arrow out of this bow. It didn’t disappoint me so far .The lamination is holding ver well and no twist happened . It is very light and I liked that though it is accurate. The only thing I hated was the string . The servings came off few shots after and I had to order a good quality string ( that should be the seller’s responsibility ) . Any just to be honest, I liked the bow performance so far and the price is reasonable for entry level Turkish bow. As a suggestion, The manufacture may need to add additional leather on top of handle at least to avoid friction marks with the vanes. In summary, I would recommend that bow for any entry level Asiatic archery fan.

The bow I ordered limbs delaminated the first time it was strung. It did not even get to shoot one arrow.

Nice quality bow with string, light weight and beautiful finish, using for target practice.

Beautiful bow, shoots well, minimal hand shock. However I've ordered 2 #50 draw weight bows and on both occasions received #35s instead.

+This is a light, lively, fast, accurate bow. It is beautifully made with attention to detail. I have already shot well over two thousand arrows through it and it has become one of my favourite bows. I am fairly tall, so I tend to overdraw the bow to about 31 inches. The draw weight is 35 lbs at 28 inches so I imagine by overdrawing it I am pulling maybe 40 lbs. I have had it destring itself once when I was careless in putting the string on. No damage ensued. It shoots flat and fast. I have used wooden arrows , carbon fibre arrows, fibreglass arrows and even arrows made out of hand picked dogwood, as our native brothers used to do (perhaps still do). This bow is a delight and I will probably buy another higher poundage version of it before much longer. I highly recommend it and I have been an archer, now, for 74 years.
