 Bought this bow from Kult Of Athena recently. The bow was 199$ plus shipping. Black leather bound limbs fiberglass/wood laminated core. I also bought 10 target arrows listed for 30-50 pound bows but they seemed matched fine. At first I was worried I got a bad bow but I do not know it it needed a little break in or what but it would send arrows in pretty wonky and had poor penetration. But now that I have a little over 100 shots through it it pretty much throws them all straight with accuracy. I am able to hit a soda bottle lid hanging from a string in front of my burlap hanging target. I would totally recommend this bow but it does need a little break in. The bow is made by Flagella Dei of Hungary. |

I had a 50lb Korean a few years back and got some 50lb POC shafts,self nocked them,put some 100gn field points on and it would not shoot straight.I draw 28 inches,and then figured that Asiatic style bows are designed for thumb draw around the 32 inch mark or more.Those shafts were spined too heavy,so I got some different shafts and used 35 lb spine and it shot beautifully.I use a two finger draw.
Maybe try some different shafts and mix the weights of the points.Once you find the right combo you will be shooting your nocks off
That's a decent little bow for the price too.

I think it needed broke in. It shoots fine now. I can hit a soda bottle lid hanging from a string and keep it bouncing. Also this bow was made to be 50# at 28'' I may be wrong but I believe the Hungarians use the mediterranean draw unless you are talking the huns on horse back. Like I said I think it just needed a break in. I will be getting carbon arrows later for it and putting my own feather fletchings on. I will need a lighter spine tho because it has no center arrow shelf and so it has to flex around. |

Glad you like it!! I have the Magyar #50 with the same arrows by Flagella. Hits like a frickin truck, arrows sink almost halfway into the target, I love the thing. Great bows!! I shot carbon arrows with it at first as well, they seem to fly faster but don’t have as much energy on impact, but admittedly the carbons were not tuned for the bow so YMMV.

It's the steel on the inside that counts.

That's a bad-ass bow, bro. I've been thinking about archery lately, and you just inspired me. Cool!   |
