Traditional Reflex Bow 15–25 lb for Traditional and Instinctive Archery

A traditional reflex bow combines the character of Asian-inspired bow geometry with modern construction materials. This model under the Erenhill brand uses fiberglass limbs, rigid laminated-birch siyahs, a laminated-birch handle and a Fast Flight bowstring.

Available draw weights of 15 lb, 20 lb and 25 lb allow archers to choose a bow according to their experience, physical ability and intended style of shooting.

Asian-inspired reflex bow design

The distinctive shape and rigid siyahs give this traditional bow its Asian-inspired appearance and working geometry.

It is not presented as an exact reconstruction of a bow from one specific historical culture or period. A more accurate description is a modern traditional reflex bow inspired by Asian bow design.

This makes it suitable for archers who enjoy traditional equipment while also wanting modern materials and practical everyday use.

15, 20 and 25 lb draw weights

Choosing an appropriate draw weight is more important than simply selecting the strongest bow available.

The bow is offered in:

• 15 lb
• 20 lb
• 25 lb

A lighter bow may be preferable when developing technique or shooting for longer training sessions. Higher draw weights require greater physical control.

At Erenhill Archery School, we can help determine an appropriate draw weight based on your actual draw length, experience and intended use. You can also try the bow with us before choosing.

Maximum draw length of 32 inches

The maximum structural draw length is 32″ and must not be exceeded.

This does not mean that every archer should draw the bow to 32 inches. Actual draw length depends on body dimensions, anchoring method and shooting technique.

Archers changing to a thumb draw or another Asian shooting method should check their real draw length again before shooting.

Fiberglass limbs and laminated-birch siyahs

The bow uses fiberglass limbs, while the siyahs and handle are made from laminated birch.

This combination creates a modern traditional bow with an overall length of approximately 148 cm and a weight of approximately 670 g.

Leather is also used as part of the bow's construction.

Fast Flight string and string dampeners

The supplied Fast Flight string is approximately 137 cm long.

One pair of string dampeners is also included. These can help reduce part of the vibration and sound produced after the shot, although their performance depends on placement, bow setup and arrow selection.

Traditional, instinctive and 3D archery

The reflex bow can be used for:

• traditional archery,
• instinctive shooting,
• recreational archery,
• 3D archery,
• field archery,
• practising Asian-inspired shooting techniques.

Horseback archery use should be tested in practice. At 148 cm, the bow is longer than many compact horsebows, so suitability depends on the rider, shooting technique and discipline.

Choosing arrows for a reflex bow

Arrow selection must correspond to the bow's draw weight, the archer's actual draw length, required spine and total arrow weight.

The same arrow specification will therefore not necessarily be suitable for the 15 lb, 20 lb and 25 lb versions.

If you are unsure about arrow length or spine, Erenhill Archery School can help measure your draw and select suitable arrows.

Limb colour options

Available limb colours are:

• White
• Blue
• Red
• Yellow

The colour option changes the appearance of the bow while retaining the same basic product concept.

Safe use and bow care

Inspect the limbs, siyahs, bowstring and arrows before every shooting session.

Never exceed the maximum 32″ draw length and never release the string without a suitable arrow.

If you are unsure about stringing the bow, arrow selection or shooting technique, have the setup checked before regular use.
