This video answered so many questions regarding spine and horse bows. I felt like I got more information out from this video than most other arrow videos I've come across.
Wow I love the colour of your yellow and red Fletching on your arrow
Mr Hirmer, that moment when you almost knocked the bow over was so dramatic and hilarious 😂 Lol I like how I am able to understand your facial and body language when you don't use words to explain something. Lol I like watching your reviews. Awesome channel. Keep it up.
Hehe
I misbought carbon arrows with 500 spine for my 35-40# horse bow. Turned out it weighs 750 grains and too heavy for my bow. Don't forget to look up the arrow weight guys. Don't be like me.
I have the same bow, what arrows spine is a good match?
@@NeoMororo 500 or 600, aim for 8-10gpp for the weight
Tried again today. A lot better!
The Easton 630 inspire has been the best carbon arrows I've shot from a 30 lbs horse-bow. I don't have any clue about the logistics of things, all I know is that it's dead straight during flight.
I like to use easton's legacy 2016 shaft with turkey feather fletching. They are durable and can be used for hunting.
Thank you ARmin i have a 26 pound rolan snake 60 so im gonna buy 1 alu and 1 carbon arrow 600 spine and 29 inches and maybe 1 at 30, to test!
Great and informative as usual. Cheers!
Another awesome and informative video :) Thank you for sharing :) It will be interesting to have some whistling arrows from Alibow for the hankyuu and looking forward to that review :)
Great vid as always. Thanks. Please do a spine selection vid for horse bows, thumb release as haven't found any elsewhere.
thank you for watching, video is on the to-to list :
I watched some good vids on tuning arrows for recurves but it seems the thumb release and horse bows don't translate across. Your video is eagerly anticipated!
I used to shot Mediterranean. I was so happy today to test my new arrows. 32”, spine 400, 400gr. Hungarian hun bow, 35# @28”. I keep the bow with my left hand, Slavic draw with my right hand, and…boom. I was testing Slavic draw and EVERY SINGLE ARROW went 2 meters to the right. What’s wrong?
Great, I recently ordered cheap bamboo shafts from aliexpress, and they came with spine 50-80lb. I was so sad. Now i just need to learn thumb release and khatra. Cool.
bamboo is always spined like this. still enjoy :)
Very interesting, I'm just in the process of replacing old rubbish fibreglass arrows for a local activity centre, and have been trying to figure out what were the most inexpensive and robust. Thank you.
I have some Bearpaw Hunter Extremes with tophat protectors on the front for stump shooting. Only broken one (shot through it with another arrow, right in the middle of the shaft, made a lovely hole :)
Go for carbon.
@@EnFyr 4 years late, but hey
@@Hutchie2112 Too late? Allright. So Armin should just delete the video then?
@@EnFyr Or you could check before answering a question asked (of the video maker) four years later.
@@Hutchie2112 What's the problem with that?
Great informative video!
Thank you 🙏
thank you Armin, interesting video
thank you master
Please Armin,
Do you use sort of chart/rules (gpp) for horsebow you shoot with thumb release?
The descriptions of bows are always short and don't mention what sort of arrow you can use.
Love your videos! I have a question for you. What arrow would you recommend for a recurve bow 62” with a 45lb draw?
Armin, can you please recommend an online shop where I can buy some good carbon arrows? Something in Europe preferably. I tried Mamluk archery, as you seemed pleased with their arrows, but they only do 31" shafts, and I need 32". Tried contacting them but there is no answer. They might even be closed now due to this pandemic. Any other shops that you have good experiences with?
They do 32" mine at least. Ask them
This is awesome information, Armin... Thank you for posting, it'll be helpful for me I'm sure as someone who is very new to the Asiatic recurve bow. I have a question that I hope you can help me with, if you'd be so kind. I've recently acquired a Chinese made Crimean Tartar bow, it's my first Asiatic recurve bow. There was no guidance that came with it, however, so I have no idea what the brace height should be. The bow measures approx. 135cm in length strung, 80cm draw length and it's 40# draw weight (at 80cm I would assume). The bow is fiberglass with wooden 'horns'. Could you give me an idea what brace height should be safe for this size of bow? I appreciate your help in advance.
good question, usually something around 16 - 18 cm. the strings are usually made in the exact length, so no need to twist it
Aha, that was going to be my next question on twisting the string, lol. Thank you so much for your help. You are a gentleman and a scholar, Sir!!!
And for 25 pound and 60 lengths snake bow archeri
Great video as always! I've been wanting to get into archery for a while and your videos are what finally made me decide to do it. Just a quick question about horsebows, though. I'm planning on buying the 30# at 32" Genghis Khan from Alibow; based on this video I should get 33" arrows. However, I'm not very tall (only about 5'5) will I be able to draw it up to the full 32" or should I get shorter arrows? Also, would you recommend the wood or bamboo arrows from Alibow? Sorry for all the questions and thanks again for all the great videos!
Hi. Thanks first of all. Take the wood arrows in 33" as they will be just fine. Bamboo would be too heavy. Enjoy shooting
Armin Hirmer Hi again! I followed your advice and got the wood arrows from Alibow. The bow and the arrows arrived yesterday but, since I've never used wood arrows before I wanted to ask you something: is it normal for the nocks to be too wide for the string? The only way I am able to draw without the arrows falling off is with your thumb draw method where you use the index finger to apply pressure to the arrow. Any other way (normal thumb draw, Mediterranean, etc.) they fall off.
Go for under 30 pounds if you're new to archery.
Good information on selecting arrows. What is the maker and model of the Manchu bow in the video? I have not been able to find that bow in your reviews. It looks asymmetrical, but it could just be the way you draw it. Or, am I just seeing things?
Qing Dragon II by Mariner from www.cinnabarbow.com
Thank you. I guess I had only seen your Qing Dragon II with the light-colored belly.
Armin, I have a 30lb Mongolian horse bow and I have no idea what arrows to get with a budget of £30. I'm a novice at this and im not fully aware of the terminologies used in archery.
Hi Richie. You can use wood arrows spined for 35# or carbon spine 600. It depends even on your draw length. I think 32" will do the job
about material of the arrows. do you prefer carbon, wood or bamboo? in compound bow shooting carbon was the only option for us, but what about horse bows? alibow recommends wood over carbon and i'm not 100% sure about it yet.
oh and for 30lb bow with 32" draw length
Now that I’m shooting more I’m breaking the cheap Chinese wooden arrows. Now I need arrows that don’t break too easily shooting outdoors. My arrows break more when it hits the ground than when I hit a wall.
Are Easton arrows Scout 2(Fiberglass arrow) good enough for beginners? I'm using a snake bow 60 and its a 26lb bow.
I just ordered a Mongolian "horse bow" recurve bow, and I'm looking for arrows to use with it. It's my first time with a "horse bow". If you use modern arrows with plastic fletching, does it work with a horse bow? Or does it throw the arrow off due to the stiff fletching hitting your hand? Do I need arrows with actual feathers? For a 30lb bow, arrows about 30" long, and target tips, what spine would you recommend? 300, 400, 500? Do you want it to bend around the bow, or do you want it to be more stiff? Thanks for you help. I've enjoyed watching some of your videos. Thanks.
it can deflect the arrow
I like bamboo
I just bought a keshig 50 lbs bow, what arrow should a use with
I have a 30lb turkish bow, what arrow should I use please? Thank you
I would use 600spine carbon
Hi, Armin.
Ich habe vor mir den Ghengis Khan Bogen von AliBow (40#) mit passenden Pfeilen zu kaufen. Jetzt bin ich mir aber nicht sicher welches Gewicht ich bei den Pfeilen (Selected Bamboo, auch von AliBow) angeben soll. Kannst du mir dabei bitte weiterhelfen? Länge ist standart 33 1/2" und bei Spine gibt man das Zuggewicht des Bogens ein.
Danke im Voraus.
Ps.: Hervorragende Videos!
Einfach passend zum bestellten Bogen. Alibow sollte dann wissen :) im Vollauszug hat der Bogen dann gut 50#. Also 500grain Pfeile oder spined 50-55#
@@ArminHirmer Vielen Dank für die Antwort! ^_^
I think you from Tennessee prepper
Ich habe mir mal 3 stück von den bearpaw pentalon traditional black 500 spine bestellt zum testen. Ich bin noch recht neu und habe mir den mongolischen Khan bogen gekauft 50 lb die ich aber erst bei 31 Auszug erreiche obwohl er die bestimmt auf 28 haben sollte ? von BWS. Die sind ja recht leicht mit 7,8 gpp, jetzt hätte ich die Frage ob das den bogen schaden zufügen könnte mit 100 grain spitze sind das 341 grain gesamt. Danke :)
Schon recht leicht. Fiberglass? 3 Finger? Dann geht der Spine. Für Daumen etwas weich
I'm wondering, do you a preference for plastic, wood, or self nocks?
I shoot mostly plastic, sometimes wood, sometimes aluminium. always depends what I need or have on hands
And for 60” 18 pound
1200 spine carbon
What length arrow for A 45 pound Mongolian Horse Bow thank you USA Tennessee prepper
depends on the the draw length you have or the max draw of the bow. add one inch to be safe
Thank you from USA Tennessee prepper I have found Mongolian bow new on eBay for $60, 45 pound I will try 28 or 31 inch arrowsThank you
I'm thinking to buy Alibow's bamboo whistle arrow and how do you think sir?
i always forget to order them, I want to test them too :)
Armin Hirmer I'm looking forward to seeing your review sir.
Hey man:) FINALLY shot my first Asiatic bow today! I have a spine question if you have time and I know you have a life so no big deal either way. If I'm shooting 200 grain tips (I like the weight up front), what's a good starting point for arrow spine for a 30" draw on a 35 lb. bow? The bow is 35 lbs. at 30". I appreciate it.
if you like having 200gr up front, I'd recommend a 400 spine arrow, which should work up to about 40lbs.
@@Jezzyftw Hey I appreciate man:)
@@Jezzyftw and what spine with 100gr tips, pls?
@@miplev If it's the same 35lbs; I'd still stick with 400s. Thumb draw requires a stiffer spine than most think lol. I would go to 500s if you're in the 20s.
Hey Armin, thanks for the video, I had been waiting for this one for a while :D
You've done a lot of bow reviews, but I can't remember arrow reviews. I suppose it makes sense, arrows aren't nearly as interesting to unbox and and review.
Anyhow, I went for standard wooden arrows from alibow, broke a few of them, either hitting a wall (... Yeah. I've done brighter things than put a target in front of a wall without a net..) or having the shaft hit a tree sideways and break.
I've read in a few places that bamboo is a lot sturdier, and more resilient to damage.
Alibow sells bamboo for the same price as wood, but bamboo is apparently a lot harder to manufacture. Have you had experience with their bamboo arrows ? (I'm thinking of getting bamboo arrows for myself and the club)
Also, I've noticed you draw your bow is a non parallel manner to the ground. Not saying you shouldn't at all, nor criticising, just wondering, because World Archery has a few rules that define safe shooting. Obviously, you don't seem to be affiliated with WA, for a few reasons, but if that's the case, how do you manage to get insurance to cover both your ranges ?
bamboo is simply a bit heavier than wood. So not too good for low draw weight. Other than that awesome.
And yes you are right, I have nothing to do with "sports" archery as WA. I continue my "martial art" archery :)
I have their bamboo arrows for my 50lb turkish bow and they works great.
I think they are harder than their white wood arrows.
sure they are, I like them

Armin is the alibow wood arrow you showed here their streamlined or shield arrows?
streamline
@@ArminHirmer Thank you Armin .
So if I have a 50 pound horse bow I need a 400 spine or 340 spine arrow
depends on the gpp recommendation of the bowbuilder and your draw length and the weight of the tip
Thank you for this but could you please do a video on getting the right arrows (spine, weight, tip weight, etc) for a horse bow? I have a lot of issue with my arrows fish-tailing before flying straight. I know how to find the right arrows for my long bow and recurve but lost when it comes to my horse bow. actually Korean but I shoot with a thumb ring and have the arrow on the right side of the bow. thank you for the excellent videos.
many have this problem. On Sunday one of my students shot his wood arrows with thumb release, his arrows were wobbling crazy. I shot with his bow and his arrows - straight. So it not only the spine. but usually (I think about doing a video) you might want to take a much stiffer shaft and not too heavy tips.
thank you but I use 700 spine arrow (pretty flexible), 125 tips, full length arrows, 45 lbs Korean bow, pull to about 25 inches. what factors should i focus on to get them to fly straight? would love to see a video on this issue. thanks
i would use 500 spine max and 85 or 100 grn tips. I try and do a video about that
First?
of course, because we know you need that :D
