Malaisie v.2 Erenhill – Modern Reflex Horsebow 15–45 lb
The Malaisie v.2 Erenhill is a lightweight modern reflex horsebow developed through the practical evolution of the Malaisie bow design.
It is not a historical replica and it is not presented as a reconstruction of a traditional Malaysian bow.
The original construction knowledge was passed to Ota Karas by a bow maker from Malaysia. From that foundation, the Malaisie design continued to evolve through practical archery experience and repeated refinement.
The result is a compact modern bow intended for traditional, instinctive, Asian, dynamic, 3D and horse archery.
Malaisie v.2 is available under the Erenhill Brand in draw weights of 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45 lb.
How did the Malaisie bow originate?
Malaisie is the name of a specific modern bow model rather than a historical category of bow.
The foundation of the design came from practical construction knowledge taught to Ota Karas by a bow maker from Malaysia.
The model was subsequently developed and refined through practical archery experience.
For this reason, Malaisie should not be described as a historical Malaysian bow or as a reproduction of an archaeological or museum bow.
It is a contemporary reflex bow developed for modern traditional archery.
Development of Malaisie v.2
Malaisie v.2 continues the development of the earlier Malaisie model.
The basic character of the bow remains, while several details have been refined for regular practical use.
The main Version 2 changes include:
synthetic leather covering on the limbs instead of the earlier lacquered finish,
goatskin on the grip,
a narrower arrow pass,
synthetic snakeskin-style finish on the arrow pass,
refinements intended to create a calmer shooting feel,
reduced unwanted vibration,
a more comfortable grip,
more consistent arrow guidance.
Version 2 is therefore more than a cosmetic update.
The changes affect areas directly involved in handling the bow and guiding the arrow.

Fiberglass limbs
The working limbs are made from fiberglass.
Fiberglass provides a practical modern material for a lightweight reflex bow intended for regular archery practice.
Before shooting, inspect the limbs for cracks, delamination, unusual deformation or other visible damage.
Do not shoot a damaged bow.
Synthetic leather limb covering
Version 2 replaces the earlier lacquered limb surface with synthetic leather covering.
This material provides a different visual finish and helps protect the surface from normal abrasion during use and transport.
The fiberglass underneath remains the working structural material.
Teak wood siyahs
The rigid limb tips, commonly known as siyahs, are made from teak wood.
They form an important part of the reflex geometry and guide the bowstring at the ends of the limbs.
Before shooting, check the wood, string grooves and correct seating of both string loops.
Teak handle with goatskin grip
The structural handle is made from teak wood.
The grip area is covered with goatskin to provide a comfortable and secure contact surface.
The bow should be held firmly enough for control but should not be excessively squeezed.
Narrower arrow pass
The arrow pass is the area beside the handle where the arrow travels during the shot.
On Malaisie v.2 this section has been narrowed compared with the earlier version.
The intention is to provide a more consistent path for the arrow as it passes the bow.
Actual accuracy still depends on shooting technique, arrow spine, arrow length, release quality and consistent draw length.
Synthetic snakeskin-style arrow pass
The arrow pass features a synthetic snakeskin-style surface.
This provides a distinctive visual detail while also forming the contact surface beside which the arrow and fletching travel.
Inspect this area periodically for excessive wear.
A calmer shooting feel
One of the goals of the Version 2 development was to create a calmer feel during and immediately after the shot.
Changes to the bow, grip and arrow pass were intended to reduce unwanted vibration and improve the overall feel of the shot.
The actual amount of vibration depends on the complete setup, including:
draw weight,
draw length,
arrow weight,
arrow spine,
string condition,
bow-hand technique,
release technique.
For this reason, we do not use absolute claims such as "zero vibration" or "zero kick".
Bow length – 128 cm
The overall length of Malaisie v.2 is 128 cm / 50.4 inches.
Its compact dimensions make it easy to handle during traditional, dynamic, 3D and horse archery practice.
Lightweight construction – approximately 430 g
The bow weighs approximately 430 g / 15.2 oz.
Its low weight supports easy handling during longer practice sessions and dynamic shooting.
Bow weight should not be confused with draw weight. A lightweight bow can still have a high draw weight.
Maximum draw length – 31 inches
The maximum draw length is 31 inches.
Do not exceed this limit.
Archers should know their actual draw length when selecting both the bow and suitable arrows.
Draw weights from 15 to 45 lb
Available draw weights are:
15 lb,
20 lb,
25 lb,
30 lb,
35 lb,
40 lb,
45 lb.
Lower draw weights may be suitable for newer archers and technical practice.
Higher draw weights require appropriate shooting technique and physical conditioning.
The correct bow is not simply the strongest bow an archer can draw once. It should allow safe and repeatable shooting throughout the entire training session.
Dacron bowstring
A 112 cm / 44.1 inch Dacron bowstring is included.
Before shooting, inspect the fibres, loops, centre serving and correct seating of the string in the siyah grooves.
Do not use a damaged bowstring.
Traditional and instinctive archery
Malaisie v.2 can be used for traditional and instinctive archery without modern mechanical sights.
Its compact and lightweight design is suitable for:
target practice,
instinctive archery,
traditional training,
dynamic shooting,
3D archery.
Thumb draw and Asian techniques
The bow can be used with different traditional shooting techniques, including thumb draw.
With thumb draw, the bowstring is primarily held by the thumb.
Beginners should learn this technique gradually and use appropriate thumb protection.
Horse archery
The compact length and low mass of Malaisie v.2 provide practical characteristics for horse archery.
Mounted shooting, however, requires independent training in horsemanship, archery and safe range procedures.
3D archery
Malaisie v.2 is also suitable for 3D archery.
Its low weight makes it easy to carry between shooting stations, while its compact dimensions are practical in varied terrain.
Choosing suitable arrows
Arrow selection must match the draw weight of the bow and the archer's actual draw length.
Important factors include:
bow draw weight,
actual draw length,
arrow length,
spine,
total arrow weight,
point weight,
shooting technique.
The arrow must always be long enough for the archer's complete draw.
What is included?
The package contains:
Malaisie v.2 Erenhill bow,

Do not exceed the maximum draw length of 31 inches.
Before each session, inspect:
limbs,
siyahs,
handle,
surface materials,
arrow pass,
bowstring,
arrows.
Do not use damaged equipment.
Care and storage
Store the bow in a dry environment with stable temperatures.
Protect it from prolonged direct sunlight, high temperatures, excessive moisture, severe impacts and pressure from heavy objects.
Clean leather and synthetic surfaces gently with a soft cloth.
