While I have not purchased this particular bow, I have purchased something from Bamboo Archery Malaysia before. You are right about the customer service. You can tell that Ronald is very passionate about archery and his business is not 100% driven by profit.
@@SuperArdly Yes. Ronald is very knowledgeable and committed to the quality of the experience. I thought so with this bow and the rings I got from him earlier. Thank you for watching and commenting 🙂
Stingray skin creates a very durable and extremely smooth, ceramic-like surface. Hard to beat. As far as increasing the width of the bow handle at the arrow pass, all of my ray skin varies by 1 to 1.5 mm in thickness. Excellent long lasting material. I easily have over 4,500 arrows past mine, and it appears like it could easily last more than another 4,500 arrows.
@@markroberts6971 I agree. I’ve been replacing any worn arrow passes with ray skin without worry. The arrow pass on the Jotoman is layered into the covering, making it flush with the limb and handle for zero difference in thickness-a thoughtful bow-making decision. Thanks for watching and commenting, Mark! 🙇🏻🙂😎👍🏹
@@RobertAnthonyVillamor It is a fun bow:) I’ve enjoyed sharing mine and am looking forward to the bow’s return from its overseas tour! Shooting it will be like a new experience again. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Thank you for another inspiring video, and I absolutely agree (accept I don't have any grip issues). My Jotoman has a natural cork surface in birchbark design with red tips. (If I order another one, I'll go for the pretty butterfly pattern - I'm sure it is good against "toxic masculinity"). I just wrote to Ronald from Bamboo Archery: The Jotoman is extremely well made. I particularly like the cork surface. (If I order another one, I'll go for the pretty butterfly pattern - I'm sure it is good against "toxic masculinity"). And I really like the sleeve, it matches the high quality of the bow. Up to my regular draw of 30 inches, it is as smooth as butter and light enough for a fluid khatra. I gave the string an additional wrapping to fit my linkboy arrows/nocks (highly recommended). I am very pleased with this bow concerning draw feel, arrow speed, vibration & handshock (down to 7 gpp) and think it is in no way inferior to a laminated one. A great bow, the perfect union of Turkish and Korean bow design! I am looking forward to your upcoming videos, especially your opinion of the NIK'A, because I bought one and it it was completey different from what I expected. I would love to see you shooting the bows from the side because of the shape and how they bend. And I would love to see more about your school archery project (call it industrial espionage). Oh, and best regards to the dice cat!
@@hansdieterwohrlebfgoe9629 Thank you very much for the well-crafted message and for sharing your experience! Over its travels, my Jotoman will continue gaining a few modifications, which should improve it further and will be fun to spot as others review their experience with the bow. Best wishes and happy shooting! 🙇🏻😎👍🏹
Thanks for watching and commenting! Knowing your dislike of hand shock, my bow might not work for you, but the bowyer is adding an extra layer of padding on the handle before wrapping, which may limit that sensation quite a bit on all upcoming models. I will do the same to my Jotoman once it returns from Europe. Happy shooting 🙂😎👍🏹
Thank you 🙇🏻 Nothing for sale currently. My Şimşek is a keeper. Deadpool is traveling through Europe, and both Takrir bows have new owners. Good luck with the search!
Watching you shoot with that bow I can already say that it breaks all the taboos that you cannot achieve good performance from a fiberglass bow. Really excellent bow job. 😊🤙
@@miguelveratraditionalarche9374 The bowyer is also adding an extra layer of padding on the handle belly before wrapping, which may further limit shock sensation on all upcoming models. I will do the same to my Jotoman once it returns from Europe. Happy shooting! 🙂😎👍🏹
Howdy! I checked with Ronald from Bamboo Archery Malaysia, and the current base price of the bow is $160. There is an additional $64 shipping cost to the USA. Malaysian economics may raise the price by ten dollars in mid-July. There are many customization options, and Ronald can work with you to get you the bow you want. His contact information is in the description. Thank you for asking!

Will do! Thank you for the note and for watching.🙇🏻😎🏹

Tested it and couldn't put it down! A sweet shooting bow with very minimal hand shock. Wound up getting it. Great job Bamboo Archery Malaysia!
