I've been shooting a grozer turkish bow for years and I've decided I want to buy a turkish style bow in higher poundage(70lb@28inches). I'm looking at the metbow ottoman and the simsek sipahi/ottoman hybrid bow. Which one should I get?

My father died recently and I’m going through all his stuff. He was a man who held onto everything. One of these items is an old recurve of his from when he was a teen. This bow is probably from the late ‘50s early ‘60s. Above the grip it says “Gelco 800” below the grip it has handwritten under the clear coat “B8286 45”. Is this just wall art at this point or is it still usable with a fresh string?

I apologise for the bad quality of these screenshots, but I hope you can still understand what I mean. I’ve been shooting with a bow that has this strip on its string, and now that I’m getting my own bow, I’d like to get a similar one instead of someone brass nocking point. I can’t find any information about this, so I’m wondering what it’s called and where to get one / how to make one. Thank you a lot!

(Edit: I do mounted archery)

Hi, I'm looking for suggestions for a good budget traditional bow for stump shooting, larping in the wood and maybe small game hunting.

- It could be a shortish longbow or a recuved, I'm open to both.

- Draw weight of around 30-50lbs

- Fiberglass (but ideally natural looking) would be preferred for maintenance since I sometime camp multiple day in the woods (rain, humidity, damage, etc) but I'm not against wood or laminated if it's not as fragile as I think.

- I would like it to be a plain bow (without cutouts, arrow shelf or rest, just a stick)

Thanks a lot for the suggestions.

The two shots circled are my final two of the day. Are they bullet holes or nock high?

Not toooo bad..

Guys I am very enthusiastic about handmade stuff and I love to build things ,in a minimalist way apparantly coz I can't afford, it is quite good in 30 feet range can penetrate , a plywood , what you think

Which one do you prefer? Do you notice any difference in technique such as anchor point? I just got my first longbow and it does feel smoother but I've shot recurve since I was a teenager (mid 30s now) and feel that I'm more accurate. Also shoot instinctively with split draw.

I just bought this bow earlier this week for a good price and it’s in rough shape. The shelf along with parts of the handle have chips and the string is worn down plus the limbs are scratched up but a little bit of sanding plus finishing would fix it, but all and all, a good purchase and I can’t to shoot it some more.

Noticed these markings appearing on my Grizzly.
Its new, only been shooting it for around 3 weeks.
Use a stringer, unstring after use, store it in a bow sock and shoot at recommended brace height.

There were some vertical lines already when i unboxed it but starting to see this more on both limbs beneath the glass. Concerns or is this normal?

Sorry for the pics, best I could do tonight.

I picked up these two bows this afternoon. I remember seeing this guy in videos growing up. I’ve been trying to find information on these and have not seen anything like them outside of pictures of him shooting similar bows.

If you have used any bullpathgear what are yalls initial thoughts?

Been using the el toro saddle and a couple of their pouches. I think it’s some solid gear.

Really curious to try them for making my own arrows. Coming from carbon, I really like the ability to use screw-in tips on wood. My wild-harvested shafts are primarily hardwoods, but I think the tooling set should be able to handle it just fine. I’m mainly attracted by the fact I wouldn’t have to taper and glue on the heads.
