Topic: Grozer Biocomposite Turkish Short 87#

Raven is wondering the details of this bow; so here are some photos.  Note I don't shoot with it.  It's only for weight training and a collector's item.   big_smile

Warbow,
Please could you give some details of this beauty?
Is that horn on the belly? Does that mean there is sinew on the back? smile

regards,
Joseph

Re: Grozer Biocomposite Turkish Short 87#

Sure, it's good to 30" draw max and requires very careful stringing.  Laminated Korean traditional bows are so easy to string!

There have been quite a lot of biocomposite breakage due to careless stringing or unexpected delamination.  So, the archer get to take it easy.  This is the third generation of this technology - someone correct me if I am wrong - and is quite stable compared to the previous version which required quite a bit of adjustments after stringing.

And yes, there is horn on the belly and sinew on the back.  However, the construction is different from a real horn/sinew composite bow.  The horn and sinew are not directly glued to the core but are encased in a plate of fiberglass and another material.

Draw wise this beauty is soft and smooth compared to a Nomad G4 Bashkir 80#.

Why would you buy a bow and not use it for shooting? It would be impossible for me to stare at it and don´t pick it up hehehe.

Re: Grozer Biocomposite Turkish Short 87#

Well, i did'nt remember to update: I did'nt get the bow, there was not any on stock.

But now i made new order, Grozer biocomposite short turkish 70#@28". Just get email from Grozer, bow will be sent soon.

It will be my thumbring shooter, other bows for now is 67# longbow from Falco and 70# Bear Attack, which is with training wheels..  tongue

I had Grozer TRH laminated turkish, but short model is more like traditional turkish, whitout string bridges. And should be faster i think.

No Korean bow for now, but Hwarang will be some day in my wall too.

Edit: And video and link as soon as i get the bow!

Nice one Hannu!!!  I saw your videos as well.  How do you like it so far?

Re: Grozer Biocomposite Turkish Short 87#

Thanks, WarBow.

Nice bow, maybe draw lenght is bit too short, 30" with thumbring, but turkish style is short draw, so no problem.

Very fast and quiet bow, won't beat korean but still fast.
No handshock, stack after 29".

I'm thinking to buy some longer bow, hungarian or manchu, so i can draw longer.

Also that longer version of Hwarang is on my list... smile

Re: Grozer Biocomposite Turkish Short 87#

Have been using only compound for months, but now i just make order for Grózer biocomposite laminated short turkish bow. lol

"Only" 63#@28", but will be enough for me now.

Will be my only training bow, will use only thumbring and get rid of my shooting gloves... tongue

Don´t know if i get the bow before christmas, but i think it is worth of waiting.

And, again, video and pics as soon as bow arrive.

Re: Grozer Biocomposite Turkish Short 87#

New 62#@28" turkish short biocomposite by Grózer arrived today. About time, i made order 12.12.13 for stock bow... roll
I made order from Thomas 24.12.13 and that bow is already on customs, i think few days and i get it.

Just try few shots, fast bow, still slow compared to Hwarang. Some handshock.
This bow is for turkish style training, let see how Hwarang works, i will hunt with these bows and thumbring.

Re: Grozer Biocomposite Turkish Short 87#

Hey hannu ,I'm a Finfan so about 2 years ago I went to finland and I was told by a finnish friend that bow hunting is basicaly banned or really restricted ( I don't exactly remember).He also said some thing about alot of fins going to estonia to do it or some thing. Is that true? Is archery popular there? When i was there it felt like there was ALOT of guns but not much archery happening. I loved finland and hope to go back soon  and even live there one day. So I'd be interested to find out what the situation is there.

Re: Grozer Biocomposite Turkish Short 87#

Dingo, you can bowhunt here in Finland, just not for big game like bear or moose, but anything smaller than deer.
Archery is quite popular, older people like to hunt with gun.
Look this: http://www.jousimetsastys.fi/wp/english/

You can hunt after textual exam once and permission from land owner.
In Estonia you need to do some course and you must pass shooting test, i think you must do this every year
Alot of Fins visit in Africa to shoot big game.
