Three Kingdoms Zhuran Bow by AF Archery

  • AF Archery Zhuran, based on the ZhuRan artwork of the late Han-Three Kingdoms Era bows used by the elite. These were likely bamboo core, horn sinew composite bows used for recreational uses. Your average chinese recurit in the Kingdom of Wu would have used Bamboo Wood laminated bows instead of horn and sinew due to the ease of mass production.

    Zhuran, the Chinese name of this bow, is a military general of three kingdoms. The bow is based on an archeological find of their bow artwork

    I think it's a very nice bow and AF has greatly improved its product quality. There will always be people who don't like it for various reasons but in the end it's up to each person to make the decision to buy a bow to practice and have fun. Thanks for sharing this review.😊

      @miguelveratraditionalarche9374 I agree the quality of the products has improved. HuntingDoor had gotten better. If I had known AF was part of HuntingDoor I would not have ordered product from them no matter the product improvement.

    Any recommendations for a glove/tab for shooting heavy bows? I have no issues with the draw weight of my 100lb English long bow, but my gloves I use for my 55lb bow just isn't enough protection. Thinking about crafting my own if I cant find something or get something custom made...

      I would look on 3 Rivers archery and buy a 3 Rivers Shooting glove, one that is same thing as the Brian Furguson model with the same overlays but is cheaper by about $9.00 because the compass is not included.

    • @OriginalFart
      @OriginalFart Месяц назад +3

      I saw a video about it and I think you have to slightly twist the bow to the left slightly if you hold the bow with your left hand, and slightly right if you hold it with your right hand. Again, I cant fully remember so you should search it up.

    You could made a bow backed with jade dust: inefficient and expensive

    • @HistoricalWeapons
      @HistoricalWeapons  Месяц назад +3

      Theoretically you can grind jade into tiny jade dust and glue it on the back…though it would be terribly costly and useless. I haven’t found evidence of it. That being said, gluing whole jade pieces and gluing it on the bow especially on the non bending portions is quite feasible

      a usual thing I do. The bow was miss sent. Missing for days by the shipping company. When it was finally located, it appeared to be repackaged the strings missing.
      I contacted HuntingDoor's, AF Archery's parent company. Their customer service was very rude saying I was trying to swindle them.
