First of all thank you for the review and happy holidays! No hate here, just some simple (objective) facts: 1. I can understand it's about their passion and all that, but that price is simply too high for such a bow. 2. "Resin infused wood" is a very general term, like "dymondwood" or "actionwood", which is nothing more then a marketing therm for a wood composite like plywood, but with a more fancy name. 3. Cross woven fiberglass is a common/ trivial material, and really cheap too. It gives you the freedom to safely play with the limb profiles when you don't want to invest to much in engineering and structural calculations, but it will never reduce mass like carbon does. Nor it will add speed. 4. The side shelf is very narrow and short (wich does not help too much in terms of side-picture/ instinctive shooting) just to make room for a looong, mild working area for the limbs, to accommodate the long draw lenghts. These are not speed limbs, they are just made for confort, low loading and safety. 5. That is definitely NOT what someone would call a "super recurve"! So... No hate, but 650€ + shipping just for a nice story about two friends... no thanks! There are A LOT of really good bows for 650€ out there on the market.
Oh is it now?? I think it was Simons was one of the bow makers I messaged when I first considered trying to sell bows. Just checking out their site gave me a good reality check. Nice bows, a good target
On aliex stringers are 2-3$ with shipping. Every archery producer should start packing stringers with all limbs and bows, only end caps without rope would be fine.
Your arrows need to be about 4” shorter, which will increase the spine and add speed to the arrows. 650 euros seems a bit high to me. I shoot a Bear Montana longbow, but like the looks of this recurve.

thanks for your opinion
As always a well thought out and concise review
Now this just made Christmas morning perfect. Coffee and bows going to be a good day.
What should you do when you want to start archery again? .... Look for Mr Hirmer. The BEST archery instructor!
Merry Christmas Armin, keep on shooting.
I really like the solid wood riser. I'm not a fan of unnecessary decorative lamination. Loooks like very fine bow!
Is the lamination on this bow unnecessary or decorative? Doesn't it strengthen the bow? Or am I misunderstanding your comment?
A modern recurve today vs your usual reviews of mostly traditional recurves... Happy winter solstice!
Thank you for the review! Fast and beautiful bow.
Thanks for sharing this great review. Happy New Year 🎉🏹
È sempre un piacere guardare i tuoi contenuti, BUONE FESTE Armin🎉👍
Great review! Always appreciate your insight 😊
Excellent review of a very nice bow!

Nice bows, a good target
MerryChristmas Armin
Merry Christmas Mr. Hirmer
Very nice. Merry Christmas to you. Thanks for the video.
What do you think of the Rajim Field Bow, a one-piece bow made in Italy?
never shot one
nice review as always! would be interesting to know if drawing thumb release with the left hand would work fine with the arrow rest?!
sure it will work with some limitations in regards Khatra
I wonder Armin, have you ever seen or handled an " KG Archery " Osprey"?, its a very nice bow
nope, not yet :)
Nice vest!
not like yours, but I could let print stickers on it :D
I completely agree that a stringer should be included.
will be in the future :)
I am from malta i like ta bow i am new to archery
Hello Armin,
Nice waist coat 👍
thanks, maybe soon standard for the AA trainers ;)
nice one
On aliex stringers are 2-3$ with shipping. Every archery producer should start packing stringers with all limbs and bows, only end caps without rope would be fine.
Again a great bow presentation from Armin.
That smooth draw bow with that torque resistent limbs structure is extremly well done by Simon and Jaap.
Your arrows need to be about 4” shorter, which will increase the spine and add speed to the arrows. 650 euros seems a bit high to me. I shoot a Bear Montana longbow, but like the looks of this recurve.
if I draw the bow 28" of course, yet the bow does 32" so I used 32" arrows ;) thats why I said, get the right arrows for the bow
It's a modern classic bow . Not a bad bow,
3 finger shooting? That's what I'd call a poisoned christmas gift! 😂
hahaha come one, we all shoot bow and arrow :D
Nice bow with a beautiful sound, so nervous. Good review but Iit's little asian bow betrayal😉
Bow review even on Christmas Day! 👏🫡 …Now I want to go shoot as well!😅
