Of course its a matter of personal taste but to me its a beauty. Even like the crane tips.

Pretty things
I still need to get a bow to you Armin and some of these hazel arrows.
As well as the Yumi, Ive done this design as a selfbow also.
I'm currently occupied making the world prettiest walking sticks (also in bow woods) but I sold a Yew bow the other day and it has fanned the flames.
Hope you're well and happy new year

I really like Assyrian bows, and a short model with a narrow arrow pass, an interesting story, and a pretty look is appealing. Way to get out there is the cold, Armin! The weather has been rough for shooting sessions this winter. 🙇🏻👍🏹

The tips and siyahs are made with lots of dedication and the birds head can be seen easily. Lovely! 🥰
But yes, the price reflects the beauty of this bow…
Thank you so much for sharing, dear Armin! ☺️🫶

You can hear the quality in that twang.
I don't understand what people are complaining about. It's not the first bow with pointy syah :D

Love the Assyrian design and Assyrian bows. Looking nice, but 700 USD? For less money, you get the awesome biocomposite Assyrian bow from C. Grozer. The laminated Horus Assyrian bow from Sarmat Archery is VERY nice, too, for the half of the price. Furthermore, longer draw. Even the Assyrian from Peter Bogar is a great bow.

the limb tips looks awesome what are people talking about?? as long as it doesnt impact the function, especially with the regional significance

Not just you.. I like to nock higher too. Saves the fingers and moral for further shooting...

I'm American. Got one question for my fellow Americans. Where do they think. Putting sharks teeth and eyes on our bombs, jets, and our arrows come from? Its easy to make fun of anothers culture and history. As they try to remember and keep it. When many of us here dont even embrace or know our own. Much less remember it. Thats sad and only a jerk does that. I say that nicely. I'm not talking about those of us Americans that do grasp these things. I dont know all that was said. But, Ive lived here long enough to guess. Thats a beautiful bow. The advanced version i like the overall look. Its a beautiful bow. Both are very nice. Thank you for showing this product.
