The bow didn't last more than 25 shots in two sessions, on the first it was a quick test and after 6 arrows I was very happy with its performance and no sign of delamination appeared, on the second one after 15 shots or so the bow suddenly exploded in my hand without any prior creaking sound or visible cracks, both times I used heavy arrows over 12gpp and never exceeded 31 inches when drawing and kept it stored in the bow sock inside home and away from sunlight. On every bow I have I always check for damage or limb misalignment before and after stringing and shooting them and I couldn't see anything wrong in this one so I'm quite baffled on what could have happened, my only guess is due to AZ dry climate the glue on the bamboo might have failed.

If your bow is let's say 30# @ 28" your arrow must have minimum weight of 30 multiplied by 0.6 30*0.6 = 18 grain. Now if your draw length is 30" you must realize your draw force will increase, roughly 2# /inch. So your actually draw force will be 34# @30" thus you will need your arrows 34*0.6 = 20.4 grains, and also a greater arrow spine. You must account for your draw length and estimete the force of the bow at your draw length and all this will influence your arrow weight and spine. Hope this helps :) **Q: i need a 40lb bow with 26"draw will this bow work?** A: When you order you can specify that you want 40# at 26". Or order a 45# bow that will then be weaker at 26" draw. IMPORTANT: They will measure draw length from front of handle as is traditional. For compound bows they usually measure from 1.25" in front of the handle so if you are used to that way of measuring then you basically have a 27.25" draw and so you are already close to the draw at which they measure... **Q: Does this bow available for left hands?** A: Yes ，Ambidextrous **Q: Whats the recommended arrow weight for a 45 pound bow** A: 417gn minimum arrow weight for a 45lbs bow, I would say. - I have the bow with 30lbs draw weight and that requires a minimum arrow weight of 287gn. The best brace hight would be 17cm. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bow exploded after barely 20 arrows (Edit: but received excellent customer service afterwards) *by L***S on March 4, 2026* I bought this bow with great hopes seeing many reviews praising its performance but had in mind also the few were it didn't last long, unfortunately that had to be my case.

Edit: I contacted AF archery explaining my experience and they kindly sent me another bow, I haven't been able to test it thoroughly yet but seems to be well made ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality for the price *by C***. on May 29, 2026* It’s exactly as it’s advertised a simple bow the poundage of your choice I personally got the 45 pounder and I’m getting about 6 inches of penetration at 20 yards ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gorgeous Bow *by C***T on January 16, 2022* At the time of this writing this is 1 of the 2 bows I really like being offered by Amazon, and they are both sold by AF Archery. The other bow I like is the 53" Tatar bow. This bow is super light weighing about 4/5th of a pound, its fast and snappy. Built and finished very well. It has one drawback, but that's because of how fine the bow is and how short the bow is and so it should be expected. The bow is a little unstable...what does this mean? It means if you are not careful to make sure the limbs of the bow are straight after you string the bow...this means the string has been put on a little crooked. If you draw the bow like that, it will warp and destring itself violently on you. This is NOT a defect, this is what happens when you so finely tune a bow to these dimension. YOU, need to make sure you string the bow so it is straight. Get on youtube and learn how. If you are uncertain about that, then I recommend the Tatar which is a little more stable due to being a little less stressed with the added length. But this really shouldn't put you off, I am writing it hear to help prevent unnecessary returns. These two bows are my absolute favorite and I am buying another of each in heavier draw weights for hunting. ## Frequently Bought Together - AF Archery Turkish Recurve Bow, 50" High-Performance Traditional Laminated Hunting Horse Bow for Adults Youth Beginners Enthusiasts and Hunting - TIGER ARCHERY 30Inch Carbon Arrow Practice Hunting Arrows with Removable Tips for Compound & Recurve Bow(Pack of 12) - TOPARCHERY Traditional Shoulder Back Quiver Bow Leather Arrow Holder with Large Pouch Handmade Straps Belt Bag Brown --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/325398817-af-archery-50-turkish-recurve-bow-traditional-laminated-horse-bow](https://www.desertcart.us/products/325398817-af-archery-50-turkish-recurve-bow-traditional-laminated-horse-bow) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-04*
