To me, it looks quite similar to this bow:

Not much online info to find about that bow and the company either.
I suppose it is just a brand for the European market, which might be true for Farmington either.

I'm having such a bow (just with fabric-covered limbs), and they are ok.
Good performance and robust, but small handle and relatively hard draw.

Wow, that's really cheap. Never seen that bow before. I ended up ordering the Monarq.

Thanks for the feedback ragnar.

Yeah that's what I was going to recommend, that is a Monarq.  As you probably know its HMG and my experience with their bows is positive.  I even reviewed the Monarq here and one other by them that I purchased years ago.  The wrapping on mine isn't gold rather its dark metallic gray and black but I purchased mine from ebay.  Grip is mostly fine I'd say, its not as thick as my other HMG but it feels good enough in the hand.  I actually wanted a Farmington years ago but now with HMG upping its products and making them more purchasable I'd easily recommend them over most others.  I doubt a Farmington would be much of a gamble and probably would easily satisfy.  I went with another HMG this time simply because it offered one of the longer draws you can get these days for a Korean bow.  Farmington seems to offer similar options but doesn't explicitly state max draw length for its bow.  So I just went with a known entity that specified all relevant info up front.  But I doubt you'd have a bad experience with the Farmington though.  Its probably worth a shot.

My Black Shadow was 53" and the draw felt quite stacky past 31". I'm really curious how these newer laminates pull. For an extra $50 I'm gonna go with the HMG Monarq. Like you said, more info up front about draw lengths and more history/reputation with the manufacturer. That's good to know about the smaller grip, thanks for the feedback.

I don't.  There used to be yt videos made by a Korean archery group shooting them and that's all I really know or can say about them.  Are you trying to stay under 200 USD?

Hey geoarcher, thanks for the reply.

I want to stay under 250usd. Leaning towards the Monarq right now but the gold wrap is just so ugly. Foam grip is a big plus tho and a bow's appearance is not the deciding factor for me.

Hello folks,

My Black Shadow was stolen recently and I'm shopping for a replacement. Does anyone here have any experience with the Farmington Archery Assassin?

I haven't been able to find much info about Farmington Archery or this bow. It's supposedly a 53" carbon laminate. There's an unboxing vid @yt but it doesn't go much further than that. Any info would be appreciated, thanks.
