Bow ReviewsFrom American flat bow to Hungarian horse bows we have owned or shot them all. Doing a lot of archery means we have shot pretty much everything out there, initially on the English long bow and target scene and then later shooting field courses. Here we review the bows everybody is talking about, but we haven't just shot these things once or twice, most of them we have owned and shot reguarly so can give you a better understanding of what these high performance bows are like to live with.
