Anyone have experience with AF archery? I just offered the American longbow off almost for $130…if it’s half as good as my black hunter I’ll be happy…please don’t turn this into a China bow debate. I have had my rack covered in customs and name brands as well as these cheap bows

I haven't shot one, but I handled one today as a matter of fact that belonged to someone else.
Pretty good looking bow and nice grip.

I bought a bow from AF archery, and it blew up 5 months later. I contacted them and they replaced it FREE. (I had to pay shipping, but I didn't mind as bow was bit on the expensive side).
they redesigned the bow to 'fix' the problem area too. and bow with same exact spec as old one took just 2 weeks to arrive, and so far, it has been over 6 months and is holding up well.
so I would not hesitate to buy from AF Archery.

Dao I guess that good news! I don’t even know who id contact if I get issues with this bow…Amazon I guess but I have no idea where it really originated from like most Chinese bows

Wonder what the difference is in that bow and custom bows? I’ve always wondered what the difference is.

I bought that exact longbow and it blew a limb the first time I shot it. Good news is I sent pictures to the seller and they sent me a new one free. I shot a few hundred arrows out of it and it shot fine then I sold it and as far as I know it's still going strong.

It has arrived! Packaged well no damage only surprise is it has a black walnut riser not the lighter color pictured. Her are some pics of it strung with a random string I had

The grip is exceptionally comfortable! The bow is extremely light almost too light. I compare it to a slick stick. The black hunter is noticeably probably double the mass weight

Initial shooting if the bow was not pleasant…I threw on a b55 string and the bow bare had noticeable hand shock like ive never felt before. I adjusted the brace some and it helped. Ended up having a TTT fast flight string that fit and put it on and the bow shot significantly better almost immediately. I always shoot with a quiver on and soon as I did that and began to tune the hand shock died down quite a bit. Still there though

Rain began to pour but I had it shooting pretty good before I called it quits. It draws very smooth to my 29ish draw with no noticeable stack

Initial thoughts are the bow is actually a lot nicer than I expected for the $139 I paid for it. I am disappointed about the hand shock but I may be able to tame it. We shall see

I like the color of yours. Your pictures look much better than the ones I’ve seen on Amazon. Hope you work out the hand shock and get it tuned.

I don’t have a scale but it feels very comparable to my other #40 bows. Performance appears to be pretty good too. Definitely impressed with the fit and finish. I can’t find anything that I’d consider a blemish

Shot probably a 100 arrows through it today and with proper tuning the hand shock has disappeared. I believe I had the brace way to high. This is a fantastic little bow that would be perfect for tree stand hunting. I have it sitting at about 7.5 brace and it’s slinging arrows nicely
