Zhu Ran 2.gen - Early Mongolian laminated Bow by AF Archery - Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- For me it looks like an early mongol bow, but it is a Han bow from the 3 kingdoms!
Simply WOW! I mean a pretty bow like this and it does 37” max draw!
I don’t draw that long, but even in 32 or 35” this bow feels just great.
Premium bow for a very good price. And voucher code “Armin10” is valid!

I actually got this bow 1 day before Armin posted this video. shooting this bow at 70m with ease.. very less hand shock. i just used 32LBS bow and draw only at 28". At max I draw at 30" but the bow is actually superb.. tested with 23grams carbon arrows. has a little kick to it. currently using 27grams wood arrows and it feels a lot better. it drops faster but it still can reach 70m with only that poundage.
Greetings from France. I've had this bow for a while now and I'm very happy about it. It's a bow that wants to be drawn, It is very smooth, with beautiful curves, build quality and finish. I can't help but smile every time I shoot it. AF Archery really seems to be stepping up their game and that's bad for my wallet ;)
Amazing review as always. I bought 6 bows so far because of you... And I don't regret any of it!
Hehe thanks
Respect from a fellow french bowman!
I joined your channel also, really appreciated your content! And your performances! :)
I got back to shooting after a 10 years break, your tunning explainations for barebow came in quite handy!
Another nice bow and review. 🏹😁 AF has been in charge of improving their designs without joking. Enjoy the day Armin ☕😃👍
A small update on my Zhu Ran gen 2... or should i say Zhu Rans. well to start with it's a really nice bow to shoot so no complaints about that.
But my first Zhu Ran bow broke at the lower string notch the second time I took it out to shoot.
AF Archery was nice enough to send me a replacement bow, but the first time I took it out to the range to shoot it I noticed there was a crack in the bow just above the handle and going down into the wood of the handle, (don't get me wrong it's not a huge crack but quality control should have caught it) so I contacted AF again and this time instead of sending me a new bow I got a refund.
so in conclusion.
Pros: The bow is really nice to shoot and very beautiful, and AF's customer service is very good.
Cons: AF's quality control needs to step up their game ( you might reserve a faulty product)
We need a comparison of this bow with the Hou Yi
The close up beauty shots are very good . The light was really good .
Thank you for the review you helped be find my bow. I will be ordering it!
I was drinking a beer while watching this and nearly choked when you said max draw is 37". You can use your belly as an anchor point with this one 😂
And the 18 mm arrow pass is amazing. What a bow 😁
Hahaha
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@miguelveratraditionalarche9374 I've seen an older mongolian archer who had his anchor point mid ribs, and I was told that it was common before, but they have their targets at 75 meters.
I've got it 😃
My first laminated bow.
Treated it with reverence like the Manchu bow, took two days to open the box, waiting for the right time haha. Even the sleeve is beautiful. What a work of art a well made laminate bow is. I'm in heaven ...🤔 Till I shoot it and miss by a mile 🤷🏻♂️... practice and mind, practice and mind 👍🙏
Great content as always, Armin. Keep up the excellent work. Regards from Norway.
Finally a bow review i've waited.
Daim! Just bought myself a manchu bow but this bow looks AMAZING!!! This will definatly be my next bow! Its hard to find bows with more then 36" draw so this one is nice!!
Ahh, Mongolian bow (before influenched by Manchu) is my favorite after I first watch your Kheshig review :)
Love the cracking sound during draw phase!
yeah my glove
Hi! :) Amazing draw length, never seen anything like this before. Looks awesome at full draw. And the narrow arrow pass... this bow is something.
Another ‚Wow!‘ bow! 😁
Although I wouldn’t reach this long draw I would like to have one 😇
According to my physics 30“ is my max draw, which fits to the 60 deg angle of this bow. Seems, it’s a perfect bow for me 😄
Thank you for the review, Armin!
Thank you
Really thin siyahs, fine tillering and nice looking transition at fades.
Thank you for reviewing this bow!
Looks pretty much like my Alibow Tang Chang An, but draws even further. Impressive. A direct comparison would be very interesting.
AF archery has come along ways beautiful finish and the price is right. Sexy curves and a long draw length. And the performance seems good enough! Thanks for another great review as usual my friend!
Thank you
Thank you. I'll have one in my hands in a few weeks.
Yes, this bow is begging to be compared a long list of long draw bows. Incredible!
This sunday
Beautiful bow, nice review. Thank You!
I wanna go to Malta!! it looks like a beautiful place you have there to demonstrate all the Archery Equipment.
Literally just got done throwing my self bow in the garbage after spending all my money and time crafting it just to have the grain split. Sad days. Found you out of frustration and thanks for the reset. Still need a bow for hogs this season though. This would be a killer bow to bring!
Beautiful bow. Smooth shooting with nice speed. Price is acceptable
Thank you Armin that is truly a beautiful bow isn't it i love the look of black walnut and that appears to have a highly figured variety it's to bad i can't find 36 inch arrows here in the US hope you are well and happy friend and as always i love what you bring to you tube thank you
Thank you
Looks nice. Buying this one is something to consider. Smooth long draw is a rare thing.
Apparently, Manchu customs was to not use a quiver or other war / hunting gear when target shooting and practicing. You are doing it the correct way for a Manch I think...
AHH my next bow 😃. Glad I didn't cut my other 35" arrows down and it will probably use Manchu arrows too. could life look any brighter 🙏 awesome as always
Very pretty bow indeed! Awesome review as always! Now I'm torn... Zhu Ran AF or Kheshig Alibow?
Depends if 33 or in higher poundage 31” is enough…
Awesome armin.. thank you..will get soon😊
Well, that's going to be one to add to the collection!
I saw this video and I went to order this beauty eminently, hope it will come soon😁
Nice review. Awesome bow. This might actually be one for me to buy with that kind of draw length. I just need to find some fitting arrows with correct length.
Fairbow has looooong carbon shafts now. I get some soon in 36” but he can make them longer
@@ArminHirmer I was checking the website right after the review and couldn't find any in the shop. I guess email it is then. ;-)
Great review! 👍 Absolutely stunning asymmetrical bow.
Since the shipping was expensive until now, I ordered the Tang Chang An from Alibow (and because you loved it in the past). I'm really curious how these two bows compare.
That is a very sleek looking bow 👍🏼👍🏼
I imagine there will be a video battle between it and the Kheshig. Curious if you prefer it over the Mighty one himself.
kheshig is too short in draw to compare, more like with dunhuang and Chang An
阿飛的朱然二代，這把弓在國内評價還挺不錯的。
Hello Armin ! I don'know wich one to chose between the Zhu Ran 2 or the Tang Dunuang from Alibow. Which one would you choose ?
Both great. The one you get your hands on
@@ArminHirmer Thanks !
Such a beauty
Zhu Ran vs Kheshig video?
Between this and the SciCai bamboo bow, which one would you recommend for a person with 30-31 inch draw length?
Bear Paw Glass and Bamboo Core-yummy!
37" max draw.... thank G-d. Finally.
Add to my wish list.....;). what kind of arrow (gpp) you can recommend for this bow? maybe a comparaison with the Végh Chinese Bow Hou Yi ?
who are your favorite bowyers? i have a kheshig imperial edition coming from alibow eventually and i really want a turkish monolith from Nawalny, i love the exotic designs
Nawalny, Alibow, af archery, Vegh, Bogar, simsen…. Too many
hello congratulations on your videos I wanted to ask you where you buy your arrows for full draw
Many suppliers: Alibow, Fairbow USA, nijora in Germany, Sarmat archery for bamboo

Ahhhhh, now I don't know if I want this one or a manchu.... Or all of them. It feels like pokemon all over again ^^
Gotta shootem all!
Hahaha
From description by AF . This should be an Han bow from 3kingdom dynasty . I don't think it consider as Mongolian.
the two designs are very similar
@@ArminHirmerfrom AF description. They mention "Zhu ran" is a general name from three kingdom .and it design is base on the drawing form that general Tomb . AF name it as a Han bow but sir described it early Mongolian . Ain't it confusing to user althought the design similar . This actually similar to Han long too. Is just string is closer to siyah only right ?
@@87Profound they are all very close together in design, some a bit longer siyahs, some different siyah angle. But for me the general shape is the same (I compared it to my Kheshig from Alibow, they look alike, just the Zhu Ran has a bit longer siyahs
@@ArminHirmer Ya for me more the less the same too , is just ABIT confuse to some other bacuse AF name it Han , and sir Amin name it early Mongolian. Is just like "Armin" is a male name . But I said it was a girl name. And other people out there got confuse. So Armin is a girl or a boy. Hahaha no offeny ya. Just highlight the difference between maker info and yours.
i have the same problem with the hay targets :-p
A very nice one!!
which are those arrows at 5:50,where can I buy them
What is the best Length of bow for horseback archery?
For many the shorter the better. But kn the other side yabusame is done with kind 2.30m yumis :)
The Mongolian monster
Like alibow product
The draw weight seems to increase a bit less at the last inch. Does that means you can draw even further?
I only tried 37" but no stacking, so I guess the bow would do even 38, but not recommended of course
@@ArminHirmer very impressive to say the least.
Man I hate being broke lol
I know zhu ran, but from dynasty warriors series.
I know :) more Han then Mongolian
Cześć, : ) super film...
Pozdrawiam serdecznie.
no i na razie.
|} >>- >
sure is a long bow for a Hungarian style bow. I'l like to see this in a much shorter version.
Makes a lot of noise while you draw
