- Topoint Archery has released new compound bows at a budget price in 28,31 and 36" in various colours. I discuss how USA use to make budget coloured compound bows and now China is left in the Budget bow building market.
I discuss how Topoint offers various colour options to meet customer demand and how America focuses on Hunting compound bows.
I discuss changes in the Archery market over the years from small Family based archery manufacturers to moving to China for most budget archery related items.

Steven, I live in North Carolina in the southeastern US. Recently, I stopped by my local archery shop to look at and shoot the new hunting bows. This dealer has Hoyt, Mathews, PSE and Bowtech. Most of the aluminum bows were $1,200 to $1,400 just for the bare bows. The Carbon bows were over $1,800. So, once I add the accessories that I want, I'm spending at least $2,500. I had been seeing all these great reviews for the new Sanlida Dragon 10, a Chinese made product. The reviews were great. So, I bought one. I paid $450.00. I just received the bow and it's very nice looking. It's still in the box but it's a great looking bow. And there is no doubt in my mind that it will shoot and perform just as well as the American made product. Of course I'd rather buy a made in the USA bow. But once I have this thing completed I'll have no more than $1,000 invested. I'd feel guilty but of course just about everything we buy is made in China. Most of everything sold in the big box hunting stores is made in China. And you're right, in the next two or three years, all this archery equipment is going to hit shelves in the US. And archers are going to buy. When that happens, a lot of the US archery companies are going to be under extreme duress. You're going to start seeing dealers stock Chinese bows. And when people shoot these bows and discover that they are actually good quality, they are going to buy
I'm a simple person. I see ( or hear) Mala in a video and I click " like"!,, Thanks Steven. Great video as usual.
I've got an M1, and I love shooting it. I used to do a ton of bow hunting, but stopped over a decade ago. I finally got back into it, but not wanting to spend a ton of money I got the Topoint M1 kit. I upgraded the release, and got better arrows, and have been practicing with it a lot lately. Once it's bedded in, it actually gets smoother and more accurate. It's incredible value for money. I believe the limbs are composite and made in the US, and the strings are decent quality. This bow is going to last me many years before I consider upgrading it. It does everything I need it to do.
Spot on. I went to an Archery shop and discussed what l could get as a beginner and use for target and then hunting but it was going to minimum cost around $1400. Buying the bow is only the first cost. You then have to buy release aid, arrows, stand, arrow puller broadheads, targets, etc. No chance l was spending that to see if l liked it.
Ended up buying Chinese kit for $240. Have added all the accessories, more arrows, broadheads, range finder, bow scale etc. and have spent $400. Having a lot of fun and getting consistently rather accurate at 25m. I will say bowscale is extremely important otherwise you don't have a clue as to your draw weight setting.
You're going hunting as a beginner?
Everyone starts as a beginner. I started with a bow I made in school shop class , about 60 years ago.
From what I’ve experienced, Most Americans don’t really think about the rest of the world, this includes American manufacturers
Agreed
As a SA country Target club, Topoint Archery has virtually saved our club, people who are social shooters would have been priced out of the sport, but they can buy entry level bows turn up and shoot reasonable scores and take part in the club. Also buy in a good range of colours and with the savings buy some decent arrows. A big thumbs up for Topoint, their recurves are great entry level bows. My first new bow was a Darton 40b back in the day and it was basic and not that cheap. New archers to the sport are spoiled with some great products. BTW I still hate Darton to this day.
I'm from the United States and Top point archery along with SFG archery both China made archery products have saved me a ton of money and they are good quality products 👍 . I'm using their target sights their thumb button release aids their target stabilizers and now their carbon arrows and every product I've tried has been fantastic👍
Great video Steven and Cem and I LOVE Mallas sweater !! So cute !! TOPOINT archery has exploded in the last 3 years especially and the quality is right there at the top!! You can tell that they really want thier share of the archery marketplace and I believe they have earned thier spot!!! I have used a TOPOINT hinge for 3 years now with absolutely no failures . The downside being the wait when you order from China on alot of the bows. I think TOPOINT is here to stay and rightfully so!!!
My experience with Topoint recurve products has been quite mixed. Some products are great value for money while others have been garbage. It's a complete gamble the first time you buy one of their products. I've found that WNS & Avalon products tend to be consistently good value for money so I'd rather buy those instead. Granted I haven't purchased any Topoint products for a while so maybe some those products are better now.
Marla doesn't bark when she's infront off the camera😊
China bows are no different from american ones.. the only differences are the archer and the bow prices..
Cool dog
Yeah, Chinese products are well priced compared to the high end American and European gear. In America some stuff is not available as custom products. For example Pandaris arrows are sold on Amazon but are not found in America made to order. I buy Victory VAP MTO from Lancaster. BTW, where are they manufactured?
Still use my martin cougar thats over 26 yrs old and currently my martin pantera for hunting. i hate that they have taken a back seat lately! Most underrated brand going.
Speaking of raw bows .. that sounds cool as, I'd buy one of those.
Daibow are topoint and look like a decent hunting bow. I almost brought one instead of my bear.👍

The Chinese Govt subsidizes Bowyers.
I just received my Topoint Slither limbs from you last week, They are ILF, bamboo/Carbon, 40LB and makes a 62 inch bow on my 23 inch riser (of course a Win and Win Black Elk riser), Other than there still being ugly saw marks on 3 of the 4 edges of the limbs (haven't those blokes over there ever heard of sandpaper), they are nice limbs. They shoot smooth and quiet and and are quite fast. I know what you are talking about. I have received and sold on over 25 custom bows from the States in over 30 years. My ILF bow with the cheap Topoint limbs shoots just as well as the best of those custom bows ever did and literally cost 1/4 of those bows from the States. In fact our Australian exchange rate is woeful now, plus import tax upon entry here, plus the high charges of shipping, it is prohibitive for us to bring in bows from America anymore. I wanted to order a Whip, R/D longbow from Dan Toelke (I had one of his bows 15 years ago that I should never have sold), but his thousand dollar bow turned into $2,500 AUD for me to land it here. Even though I totally detest their work ethic (go watch on Y/T what they did to Jake Kaminski), Chinese bow companies have saved us here in Australia. Without them we would all be running around with a bamboo twig with some para-cord tied to it.
I guess what comment do you have on Topoint direct copy of products like the Axcel Landslyde? It is one thing to make cheap new products but a cheap copy shouldn’t be supported?
I’ve been shooting the Topoint gear for a few years now. The quality is really good, can’t fault it.
Chy Na!
Yes, The Chinese bow manufactures are producing decent quality, cheaper price bows, but that's where it stops! I have had very bad customer support experience, especially when you need any adjustment screws, grips, etc. Also, the language barrier is a major issue when trying to describe what part you need and what unique problems you are having. Hopefully, they can clean up the customer support department.
Just had a look at the Topoint archery website. First thing that comes up is their new Acuity hunting bow models so they may very well be already trying to hit the hunting market. That being said this video is not an apples to apples comparison. I shoot a couple of Elite models and number of members at my local club shoot Topoint and Sanlida bows. For the money they are incredible value however performance wise they are terrible.
Strings stretch like crazy, the cheap arrow rests they come with are absolute junk, and speed wise they are so far short of their "rated" speed is ridiculous. Due to a shoulder injury I've wound my bows down to 53 lbs (60lb peak limbs) and I'm still getting around 280fps. Maxed out at 60lbs the Topoint T1's and Sandlida Hero 10's are barely making 240fps with similar arrow weights and draw lengths!
Many of the owners have ended up buying a new string/cable set, arrow rest and sight which doubled the price of the bow - none of those things improved the bows speed. I wonder just how much more the bows would need to be priced in order to be manufactured so that they actually come close to their speed ratings?
Is bow hunting legal in China? If it’s not that might be why they can’t be bothered with it
I’m all about saving money. China can make junk, mediocre and world class precision instruments. They are still cheaper on high end items than America. But if you have a problem with their products, you have a problem in getting it repaired or exchanged.
Dont believe everything you see, topoint might be cheap to you in australia, but here in europe because there imported and taxed heavily, your 100 dollar bow is 200 dollars in europe...
This is true, but they are still better value for the money than the overprized U.S bows..
@@tero1422 Oh yeah for sure... Once you go over about 500 quid then your just paying for the bling..
