Birth of a Bow - Building the Mybo Origin Compound Bow
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- A look at how the Mybo Origin compound bow is made. Designed and manufactured in Leicestershire, England, the Origin was released in January 2016 and in its first season came to dominate the UK target archery scene.
Can we appreciate how much merlin was daring to just share all the process? Well doneee
I purchased one of these a few days ago as I’m fortunate enough to live 30 minutes away from the Merlin store in Loughborough, England. I can’t believe how incredible this bow is, the draw cycle is ridiculously smooth, the valley and let off are just perfectly arranged. It’s difficult to explain unless you try it.
I tried a few of the more expensive compounds from other manufacturers like Hoyt and PSE, but this beat them all hands down! Massive thanks to Ben and the team at Merlin!
The Mybo Elite is one of the bows that I am seriously considering upgrading to!
Or the revolution
A large step forward than when I bought my bow in Nottinghamshire. Beautifully designed and produced. A credit to the team.
I've shot 2 Merlin bow models in the late 80's, and they were, at that time, very good and accurate bows !!! I also had the chance shooting many times with Chris, and after, Ben Jones at international events in France or in other countries during the 90's. They're very nice guys and good shooters. I'm happy to see they still are in the archery business and producing such nice bows. I hope this Origin will be a success. Dom
Fantastic video, very insightful to see how this bow is manufactured. Finally got round to trying one the other day & it truly is a fabulous bow to shoot, as soon as I fill my piggy bank I'll be getting one of these. Well done everyone involved in the making of this bow 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
Nice that it seems to have alot of hand crafting to it; compared with others that seem to use mostly automation, hopefully be buying one next week; looking forward to it
Absolutely fascinating insight into manufacturing a bow that we would not normally see. Thanks for sharing it with us.

what a wonderful piece, great craftsmanship, great images and great music all making a great bow.
Pieces of art! The black/chrome one is absolute stunning...i want one!
Thank you. Next time I would love to hear the actual sounds of the process as well as some commentary about whats being done and why etc. Still very much enjoyed and appreciated.
wow, as an absolute 1st year newbie to Archery I now know what to aspire to!!
john mcintosh I have, but world doesn't revolve around them, other companies are as good
So freaking awesome! I wish I could afford one of these. Good job and good luck
High quality precision target bows. fantastic to learn and shoot
They look like well made bows and good for the price. Seen a few in the flesh and might be tempted one day.
BEAUTIFULLY MADE!
Just got in to Archery. My goal for this year is to build on my enthusiasm for the sport and become serious enough to upgrade my current bow to a Mybo Origin
Mine is currently being made. I'm even more excited now...!
How do you like it? I am considering getting one myself
Great music, great video.
All I can say is WOW!!! Please do a similar video for the elite recurve?
That reddy-gold colourway at 16:16 is beautiful! Still shooting my old Hunters Quest with the anodizing sandblasted off and hand polished riser, but if I could justify/afford a new bow.........
Absolutely great work! Congratulations
lots of petty comments as usual.hope the company does well,looks like a fantastic bow.nice to see something new on the market!
I bought an elite I while back. Is awesome. Solid and well balanced. It is pretty damn heavy though. I love it regardless
Very nice looking bows i be very keen to shoot one of these bows very much so, Job well done
meus parabéns pelo trabalho top de mais cada detalhe impressionante mesmo seus arcos deve ser de ótima qualidade.. adoraria ganhar um desse de presente lindo mesmo continuem assim ......
One word amazing,good job sir...
Excellence in the product, congratulations to ORIGIN.
Excelente produto , parabens Origin,
Looks like a well built quality bit of kit. You local British boys should be proud. Hope you can make it without "out sourcing" to China.
They are all made in the UK, you can even have a walk thru the factory.
awesome video
British craftsmanship at it's best. I wish I'd have bought one of these instead of the Hoyt Pro Comp Elite.
Yeah...should be as reliable as a Land Rover.
LMFAO
Merlin have always made excellent equipment. My wife's XV from 2007 still going strong. The omega sight on my recurve still works perfectly after over 10 years of all weather use. Where others have fallen apart. Once you buy a Merlin Product you know your buying a quality product from an excellent company. Other manufacturers make their cams so thin (To gain speed) that I have seen them buckle. (Wafer thin cams) not good. Although I am not sponsored by Merlin, I have always favoured their equipment.
Thanks, thank you for sharing your knowledge, I really liked it.
Nice video thanx for posting
Elite and Bowtech have the cross cables on their cams now. I wonder who pioneered this cam design? Also the oversized one quarter of an inch axles? I find this fascinating also educational!!!!!!
Woow nice machine, long time thad y hav seen e Merlin Bow, my best jears of shooting
Good video showing the process of machining the parts. Looking how much machining there is and using blocks of aluminum I wondered if you had ever thought of having some sintered parts. Advantages include less final machining, more choice in the composition of material as it is mixed to the specs required and would probably cut the cost of production without compromising the quality.
Sintered has higher tooling cost, for small batches, CNC is cheaper. We are not in the automotive industry.
I really think you guys should make some that straight aluminum it looks so good maybe all aluminum body and black limbs aluminum cams that would look awesome
Кто делает эти луки огромное УВАЖЕНИЕ!!! С Искренним уважением Александр, РОССИЯ !
Simplesmente espetacular 🤩
ВЫ МОЛДЦЫ !!! ПРОСТО СУПЕР!!! Музыка достойна ваших Луков !!! Я Восхищён ! С любовью из РОССИИ !
Okay maybe I should have watched the whole video before I commented cuz that one at the end looks amazing exactly what I said
OMG never even knew the UK were in the market for making compounds, would love to field test on if they are still in business. Thanks for showing! That fully machined riser looks very cool. What the the specs of this model?
great video. But i assume the labor work (e.g. anodozing process) is done automatically.
E visto estas maquinas haciendo maravillas y siempre me e preguntado como recogen el lubricante y los residuos del material torneado.... A donde va todo eso?
Great bow from A to Z.
Great work
That is quite something seeing that CNC machine in action. Is that just water being used as lubricant/coolant or something else? Cool video!
I can confirm that I am the CNC Machinist in the video, I'm more than happy to answer questions anyone might have!
why a dial instead of a digital caliper, same for the draw check scale, and why doesn't the third guy on the podium get a cheque?
I don't like digital calipers, so it's a personal preference. For the rest of your question I simply don't know, I machine the bows I don't shoot them :)
I used digital calipers until I actually got into manufacturing, and then realized that dial calipers are 1 faster, and 2 just easier to use which sounds strange.
I prefer them for dependency, with dial calipers they are purely mechanical
Agreed. The digitals are not more reliable and they can give a false sense of accuracy. They are easily knocked out of cal and unless you constantly triple check your measurements you will end up in trouble sooner or later. Mechanical are simply better. IF you have to rely on digital I think you lose something in the long run and you are allowing a machine to do your math which if that's what you need might mean you needed a different career in the first place. lol my opinion is all. take it or leave I'm weird too lol...
Simplesmente incrível da ainda mas vontade de ter um.
EXCELENTE Vídeo , só precisa da uma olhada nos ganchos que são usados para a pinto pois os mesmo aso de arame e a maquina de usinagem apresenta estar empoeirada , ambas as criticas se melhoradas agregaram valor ao produto apresentado .
May i ask?
Can it delivered to Asia country?,,how about the prosedural,,,to get some coumpound bow like this?
Great video. Could you please let me know who does the music?
That's so awesome
What is this song? I'm gonna play this song for my kid at bedtime.
Are you guys going to be at the ATA Show in January?
Anyway i like see how this bow is built : workers look very professional
I need to know what the beat at the beginning is????? I know it's been 6 years since up load but please!!!
All the cool kids rockin the carbon fibre risers now....
Some description of the process during the video?!?
Can someone tell make what type of machine are those except the cnc machine please thank you ☺️
Who designed this cam as the cables are a cross over? . I see more bow companies using this cam design.. Did mybo design this cam?
Bem, esporte em geral é caro, mas é uma belissima tecnologia. parabéns, seria o máximo um dia dar oportunidade de algum armador representá-los. Para ver como este equipamento se sai na mão de não profissional.
Mi mayor deseo siempre a sido poder tener un arco como el de este video pero es una lástima tan solo conformarme on verlos pos los costos son bastante alto y no puedo comprarmel,,pero bueno así es la vida,, felicidades por tan hermoso video, saludos desde Panama
I agree, I have a 30 lbs. Dalton French Re-curve bow, I have had it since 1972, It's fiberglass/wood composite and it's perfect, nothing fancy, no sights, counterweights, etc. I will stick with it if I have to use it, These "mechanical" marvels are nice and all BUT, when that string breaks, it's going to be a BUGGER to re-string it,.. so, I will stay with my plain Jane old fashioned bow!!!!
Amazing..!!👏👏👏
Muito bom,se eu tivesse dinheiro sertamente compraria,valeu 🇧🇷👏👏👏
How much for each one unit cost for that bow?
fascinating to watch the process of manufacture, thanks. ......and I had assumed mybo was a Chinese brand until now (durr...)
Extraordinário, super demais!
Looks like Okuma machines?
Sir i like hoyt compound bow.., if i request, its gonna pay for it? how much sir? and nice making..done surcribe view n like ..caused im lefthanded
chill music. what is it?
5:20 - Why are the tops left sticking out of the top of the solution?
That stage isn't the anodising step itself, it looks like one of several cleaning stages prior to the anodising. Usually soft, dyed anodising on aluminium alloys have multiple cleaning stages beforehand, the actual anodic oxide film growth stage, then dyeing and sealing - the boiling water sealing baths you see part way through are out of sequence, those coming last.
@@sonoffenix3399 Thx!
Good video
Give me the site to buy this one...
Hoyt .com
what is that soundtrack?
Can i ask what's the names and authors of song's you used?
My sponsor of Merlin was Erwin Braeckeveldt!
Any particular reason why you chose not to use a torque free flex cable guard?
Is it how compound bow limbs are usually made? Seems too simple. Recurve bow limbs are consists of several layers and coatings.
For the handle, seems like only shape and material has been decided and just machined until the end. For the recurve handle, I think they go through more complicated in order to reduce the vibration and mass. 100% machining is most easy and not always preferred.
Is it cheaper mybo bow or is this how high end compound bows are made?
How much price of this in indian money???
Super vidéo merci . france
que loja é essa? gostei bastante desses arcos. alguém pode me dizer?!
The music is ok. The video also. Together seems to be something like post apocalyptic piece.
You predict there will be a lot of working $40,000 CNC machines, post apocalypse?
Estan geniales esos arcos deben salir caros
who is the musc done by? I think it's fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!
a (may be) stupid question: how come the complex pieces are not a cast and then machined? what is lost in the piece strength in the end??
Can't u give me detail n picture bow n cam...plleeeeaaassseeeeee
Tell me please what aluminium brand (mark,grade) used for these milled recurve handles?
Could be 7075 7078, same as arrows.
@@philippe94416 Yes, must be 7xxx and T6. Edit: their web site tells 6082.
WHERE CAN I FIND THIS BOW AND SUPPLIES.
It takes 2 seconds on google, but you seem to need answers spoon fed to you.

Beautiful. But you guys love screws too much ! You need toggle clamps on your drill jigs and a pallet system on your VMC, you will save so much time and hassle !
795 british pounds - thats about $1033.50, or so - - another $65 for a better string, or maybe it's just a spare - - how many strings does it take to strangle a deer after the arrows miss? Anyway, kind'a pricy, still, I'd LOVE to have one.
Salam satisda varmi bunardan
do you stress relief the alloy before you machine
Its heat treated and seems that the block is allready machined to even, so i believe yes.
Yes
İ will buy this coming soon !!:D
are these limbs sanded from a solid piece of prepreg fiberglas?
Yes I believe they are
Which machine is used at 1:45
Which type of cnc machine?
Nice video well done nice bows, I hope they do well against the americans in there bow building.
No torque wrenches, huh? NWM, I have Mybo Elite and really enjoy it ;)
