A very special bow and a great performer!
Richárd lent his bow to me for testing and review. Thanks for that!
Quite a different beast and with the right arrows a very precise tool, surely good for hunting.
Every good comes with a price tag, so this bow. Check out all the options on the website here:

A few of the traditional bowmakers I watch on RUclips have made penebscot style selfbows. I didn't realize anyone was making a more modern laminated one. That's very pretty.
Not a bow i would ever own but grateful for the bowyers out there pushing boundaries and seeking innovative build designs and techniques. Another great review also. Keep them coming!........ Blessings from England
It's so fun to see that this bow gets the same facial expression out of everyone who shoots it :D
After all this time having this bow I'm still amazed how frickin silent it is :)
Hey 🙂 The course was fun and a really good experience. Learned and realized a lot, one gets to know what to adept and what to unlearn for sure. I highly recommend to everyone.👍 This bow looks amazing, let's see, let's see 😁
Nice modern interpretation of a Penobscot Bow, like it!
Interesting Armin, I often wondered how they would shoot. BTW M R Bows make one too, be interesting to see. I'll add it to the next poll.
Thanks for sharing Richard!
I find it super interesting, not common doesn't mean it doesn't work. It looks super cool. Enjoy the weekend Armin. 😊
Even though I hate (the look of these bows), and honestly I dont understand the point either. However! Thats the most beautiful penobscot bow I ever seen... The way the limbs join is SO seemless.
The point is when you live in the forest and don't have access to modern tools, you may not be able to easily find a single good piece of wood to make a bow that's powerful enough to kill animals. So you find 2 smaller pieces of wood and can still make a powerful bow. That's what the Native Americans did instead of chopping down a whole tree to make one bow.
Cool concept! Very pretty bow. Commenting for the algorithm
Thanks for all this work!
Have been waiting for ur review on this bow
Beautiful and strange looking bow. Have a nice Saturday!
I need this bow in my life 🏹🤙🏿🤘🏿💙
enjoying the new intro tune!
Crazy bow!! But again you make it work,,great shooting Armin 👍
What a fascinating bow 👍
Ja, der String-Twist geht auch sehr gut mit meinem Ring! ;-)
Auch mit dem neuen Ring. Bin schon gespannt, wie schnell du damit schießen kannst.
Wow, this bow! The White Wolf joins the El Dorado in the fantasy echelon of my future purchases wish list. Comparison of rings for best release: 👍👍. Keep leading the way, Armin 🙂🙇🏻♂️👍🏹
Just got my second one of these today 😀
Definitely an interesting looking bow.
I love that bow
THE PENOBSCOT BOW!!!
thank you
A laminated penobscott bow!?! O this is going to be wicked awesome!!
It looks smooth off the shelv shot
Jó reggelt, guten morgen!❤
Wow looks like something from another intelligent planet. I was curious about the thumb ring experience, but more curious, are you using a vermil lantern with an open thumb? You might like to do more thumb release close-ups. There's no one who really teaches slow motion, underhand clips. I tried a few but with little luck, so we'd appreciate your latest experiences :)
This isn't the handmade bow you mentioned right? Still, what a lovely bow and nice review!
That’s different!
Penobscot style bow, beautiful! They say the penobscot tribe may have even shot with some style of thumb release like Ishi did. But they also say its design was due to lack of good bow woods, but i can say for sure theres many good bows woods here from the state of Maine and has been historically, so id love to know why they made this design! Nice seeing a review on this one. Great review as always!
There was a theory that the Penobscotts never really used these bows--the whole thing started as a practical joke on an anthropologist!
I couldn't say 😄. Certainly no shortage of good bow woods here in the State Of Maine!
Its remind me when i was young drawing fantasy bow when teacher explained in front of class, yeah i called them double bow back then,
And there is one fantasy bow that i never see them in real life i called them X bow (double bow and double string but they cross each other, shapes like X word)
I wonder if White Wolf went out of business. The website is no longer up!
LOL I return wait :) tks
So in my rational thinking, if you have a laminated bow and both top and bottom fiberglass strips are same thickness. The one to fail would be the back one, i mean the one facing the archer. Because the carbon and glass is very strong in tensile strenght, when you try to strech it. But due to the nature of the material made from tiny fibers is weaker in compresion.
So the back face of the bow will be most likely the one to fail. If you were to pull that string untill something snaps(abuse it)
So to be honest, you can easily make a very heavy bow from just a normal design, i don't see why you would add that extra weight on it. And also, in the hunting scenario, the simplier the bow the better, i see that design to entangle in small branches of trees and stuff.
It might look cool but other than that i might call this one a dumb design... In my view a cool bow is a well balanced bow, meaning there is enough material in it to reach the power you want and not break and not too much that it just slows the bow and do nothing more.
If you were to make this bow from some kind of weak wood, it makes sense, to make a heavy bow. But from fiber glass it doesn't, just make the limbs thicker and you have a much better bow than this.
This is just my view on the design.
I am surprised at the speed. Would have thought that it would have had more speed for the poundage.
It's dialed waay the heck back. Before I gave it to Armin we measured it, it was around 45# ish. I'm not good or strong enough yet to handle it in the heavier range, working on it though :D
Dose the Pom Pom on the string reduce performance? It dose look very cute 😌
Every string silencer (le Pom Pom) reduces the speed somewhat, but not that much. It's a good trade, loosing a few fps in speed in order to make your bow more silent, espec if you actually hunt with it.
I’m very surprised by two things :
- those arrows seem to be extra mega light for a « traditional » bow. 5gpp is compound territory for me. I tried shooting light arrows, even on my full carbon recurve it does not feel right, and I end up shooting between 9 and 11 gpp with all my trad bows. Is it the Penobscot design that allows this ?
- performance (speed wise) seems very low for such light arrows. I get 178 fps out of my longbow with much heavier arrows (9.5gpp), and I would expect recurves to shoot way faster. So does this design a actually bring anything to the bow, except adjustability for draw weight ?
Cheers !
Ordinary science! ;)
I wonder what will be the performance at 60 pounds at 32 inch full draw.
I never took it to 60 pounds, I can barely hold it at 50-52. But the bow doesn't do 32". Tony who made it, told me that the safe limit is 30" and I shouldn't try to pass that otherwise he can't guarantee the safety of the bow. You've got to remember this is a hunting recurve, it was originally designed to be shot with mediterranean draw with 28-29" draw length. And while Tony was fully aware how I was planning to shoot it when he made it, he still warned me not to go over 30, soo I'm not pressing my luck :D
Are you shooting a left-handed bow right handed?
Yeah, he does. I specifically ordered it this way. It's right hand grip but with the sight window on the right too, for thumbshooting.
After seeing this bow looking for one that looks like the double bow from Far Cry Primal I've always wanted to see how it works. But its pricey and right now im about 10 years behind in skill. But im getting that beginner bow this year!
Igen 😂
it's definitly a testament to craftsmanship.... but it seems the performance is definitly not what i was expecting, with 50% more limb i was expecting more velocity than simply average.
Honestly I have no idea what it's capable of, what you saw here was maybe about 70-75% of the bows power, we've measured it before I gave it to Armin, and the scale maxed out around 45# . Personally I was only able to take it to 50-52, but I couldn't hold it for long and we didn't have any chronos to test the speed :( Buuuuut, it did bury a 32" 545 grain arrow into a fresh foam target (15"x15x15) about halfway from 20 meters, sooo that's something I guess :D
@@Lionall i mean in theory i guess it's velocity should go up if you crank it to it's max tension of 60lbs, but i was expecting closer to 200fps from something like this, especially with such light arrows... i have a $100 amazon special that'll put up similar numbers
@@Xtorin_Housecat_Ohern You're probably right, @ 60# it can most likely break the 200fps barrier (I have to test it at some point with proper equip), in a low poundage setup like this the pony limbs are more of a liability rather than a benefit. The base bow is 40#, adding to that the ~ 5# from the pony limbs, plus the slowing effect of the pony limbs and you get that this much extra power won't compensate the amount of speed lost. So it's not really a straight forward equation, attaching the pony limbs won't get you instant speed benefits.
I'll just stand a little closer to my target and save myself €1700.- 😂😂
Whats a affordable bow (£150 max)
Looks beautiful & shoots great & could be displayed when not in use.
My use# Back garden, target shooting.
(I wouldn't ever hunt....but like the idea of the bow having the ability to do so, if by some twist of fate faced with hunting for dinner)
I ask due to the fact you seem to display alot of none generic type bows, and you seem very knowledgeable, i respect your opinions.
He said 1500 not 150
@@JSmithski ??
@@mangmiketeamtaiaha7256 ah so you’re asking for a recommendation of a bow under £150?
Da blieb bei dir ein bisschen Maltesisch hängen
Unique bow, but fast
2k usd wow ur crazy....I want it lol
first
Interesting bow for sure, but for 2000 euros (including tax, custom, and shipping), I could have a nawalny and a paragon bow and still take my wife out for a nice dinner. 😅
The American bows end up being too expensive when it comes to value for money.
While I understand your point, to me this one is as much a collector's item as it is functional. All my other bows were chosen based on functionality and ease of use first and foremost. This one wasn't, I saw it and I just knew I have to have one. I've never really collected anything in my life earnestly, bows are the first one, so I tried to make this one The centerpiece.
phew, looks like it dropped out of a fantasy game...
too gimmicky for my taste
Great example to prove that with a lot of creativity you can find more than unusual solutions to problems which otherwise could be solved much easier; and that, with good merchandising, you can convince people to purchase unusual and expensive tools to solve problems, what otherwise could be solved with much cheaper tools as well. 🙃 Undoubtably an interesting, but arguably an ugly and unnecessarily over-engineered bow…🤔 I understand that this gives its appeal as well.😁
I've said this to another commenter, this bow, while it is functional, it doesn't fulfills any reasonable function. I mean honestly who in their right mind would take this to a hunt for example. Okay it's silent, but other than that, it's on the heavier side of laminated bows, it's large and clunky, I'd be terrified of scratching it in the woods, and the list goes on. Heck my 38# short turkish is better for hunting than this, and that cost tenth of the price, maybe even less.
And just so you know, there weren't any merchandising involved (as in ads or alike), I was researching the Penobscot indians, and a similar bow was amongst the picture results, and not even from the makers site, it was on a long abandoned forum of some sorts. I spent like two hours reverse searching the image to find where it came from.
Over-engineered definitely, but do you really want to argue about beauty? That is one of the, if not the most subjective topics to argue about and therefore pretty much useless to do so. You find it ugly, great, you do you bud, I couldn't give a rat's ass, I find it immensely beautiful and nobody, literally nobody can convince me otherwise.
🙄🙈 I do not like that style of bow 🤪👎 and I expected a much better speed from it 😌 considering the extra limbs 🧐
Very disappointed 💯% ‼️
extra limbs, extra weight
