Description
Classic Design, Great Performance American Hunting Bow.
Designed for long-time use. Perform well in both indoor archery and outdoor hunting.
The take-down design makes it easier to be shipped or carried for outdoor sports or hunting.
Note
The bow is shipped with riser/limbs/string taken down. You need to assemble them by yourself after you receive the parcel.
We highly recommend using a Bowstringer to attach the string, especially for those bows with the higher draw weight.
We also provide videos teaching you how to finish the assembly.
When you play around with our bows, please follow every rule you have learned of archery:
- Check bow and accessories carefully before shooting.
- Find a safe place before shooting, don’t aim anything except the arrow target.
And the most important: - NEVER DRY FIRE

Scharfkantige Tips ,Sehne nach wenigen Schüssen an den Sehnenörchen aus gerissen! Ansonsten aber ein schneller Bogen!

Hi Bella, thank you for your response to my earlier review.
My draw length is supposedly 27.87 inches.
Your response helped me gain a better understanding on arrows! Thanks for your additional insights on the Black Hunter 🙂
Bella (store manager) –
It is my pleasure!
For your draw, you can use 300-400 spine arrows.
Feel free to contact us if you need any further assistance!
Best regards,
Mandarin Duck

I watched several reviews on the Black Hunter MK II 60″ Takedown Recurve Bow and Longbow. Finally convinced, I decided to spend a bit more than I initially thought I would, for my first bow. I also have plans to purchase the longbow limbs. If the longbow version was just one entire piece and not a takedown, I’d have bought that one right away! However, I’m so thankful for the interchangeable limbs that allow me to experience both recurve and longbow versions of the Black Hunter. Also, what is the story behind the naming?
I noticed that Bella has answered a question in the reviews regarding somebody’s concerns of whether their arrow would be compatible with their bow and draw weight. I share the same question.
Feather size: 6 in
100 grain
AMO length: 30.5 in
Shaft Length: 30 in
Spine Size: 350
Feather Material: Natural feather
Fletching Type: Feathers
Shaft Material: Carbon
Full length: 31.5 in
Net Weight: 28g
This is my first bow and I just found these arrows on eBay for an okay-price. I just included all the item specifics to be on the safer side.
Now, my question is if these are terrible/bad/okay/good/perfect, for this 60lbs draw weight bow. I haven’t seen a second review from the same customer, so assuming we can only submit once, I must let you know that I really appreciate customer service here at Mandarin Duck! Only around 8 minutes after I submitted a support ticket via this site regarding a refund for an accidental duplicate purchase, Bella (Store Manager) swiftly responded and refunded my accidental purchase! This instantly put my potential overnight worries to rest and I am glad that I decided to purchase from the real company than another site from a possibly dodgy re-seller.
I might add that if these arrows are deemed to be unfit for the BH MK II, the issue will be solved by searching for the appropriate arrows or purchasing the ones recommended by this store for this exact bow- and not that I will find a new bow to match them : – )
TL;DR:
– are my arrows compatible? if not, can I please be recommended arrows? unless mentioning other brands here will pose an issue..
– what’s the story behind the naming of this model?
– amazing customer service, no kidding!
Best wishes,
rhubet

Hi Rhubet,
Thanks for your order!
1. The arrows you mentioned are slightly light for a 60-pound bow.
The recommended GPP (grain per pound) of the Black Hunter bows is 8 – 10.
That means the minimum weight of the arrows should be 8×60 = 480 grains, which is about 31g.
You might want to change to heavier arrow tips so the bow won’t be damaged.
2. Please let me know your draw length so I can check the spine for you.
The Black Hunter was designed to be a hunting bow in black color.
After testing it for a while, we realized that a grey/dark green riser would be a better choice in the forest.
BTW you can leave as many reviews and messages as you want.: )
Best regards,
Mandarin Duck

perfect! Got it for my mate who’s never been bow shooting before, despite what I heard before, that this bow isn’t the best for beginners and so on, it works very nice. So I got it for my self as well.

New Archer here, I purchased the 30 lb version. I’m using it at an indoor range right now for target practice. So far I’m loving it, have’t had an issue yet in the month since I’ve had it. I would highly recommend to new archers looking to get their feet wet.
rolandanderson35 (verified owner) –
I am in love with this bow! Also the carbon arrows seem of good quality. Good, fast and affordable shipping prices. I am grateful for Mandarinduck.
lightowl787 (verified owner) –
Very well built. Not too light. The bow is very accurate–the arrows land where I point. There is no need to compensate like I have to do with my other bow from a different company that shows to the right of where I point. I am very happy with this bow.

Have BH recurve bow 45lb. Its posible to make 60lb with replacements? If yes, do u sell those replacements or the only way is buy a new bow. My bow still works perfec and i love it but is couriosity. Sry my english. ?
Bella (store manager) –
Hello,
Thanks for your interest.
Currently, we are replacing the original version with the MK II ones so spare limbs are only available as backorders.
The price is 79.9 per pair, the manufacturing time is 2 weeks.
Please send me:
1. Your previous order number and a picture of the bow you have, so I could make sure which version it is.
2. Your shipping address and phone number
We will create the order for you and send you the link for the payment.
Best regards,
Mandarin Duck

I’m planning on using 31 gram arrows with a 500 spine will those go well with the bow? If not what do you recommend?
Bella (store manager) –
Hi,
Yes, those arrows could be used with the Black Hunter bows.
Best regards,
Mandarin Duck

I’m a bit disappointed with the Mk II model. The limbs are not as nice shape as on the standard Black Hunter and it doesn’t transition smoothly to the limb. There is a sharp corner sticking out on the lower limb and the limbs also has a slight twist. The tool that comes with the bow to fasten the bolts is a little bit to big and doesn’t fit well. It is a decent bow but I don’t see why ordering from Mandarin Duck is better than ordering it directly from Junxing archery for almost half the price.

Mein Erster Eindruck ist dass sowohl der Take Down Recurve Bogen als auch der Hybrid sich im handwerklichem Feingefühl kaum unterscheiden und dass sie für preis- und qualitätsbewussten Schützen konzipiert worden sind.
Ohne überflüssiges Zierstreifen in der Fertigung beschränken sich beide Bögen auf das Wesentliche. Die mit Bambuskern und Schwarzem Fiberglaslaminierte Wurfarme bieten eine ausgezeichnete Schussleistung und in Verbindung mit dem kräftigen Griffstück aus Dymondwood und Pistolengriff absorbiert er Schwingungen und sorgt für eine einwandfreie Schussruhe.
Beide Take Down sind für einen sehr langen Auszug (31 Zoll) und von 30-60 lbs @28 bestens für Anfänger als auch für Profischützen geeignet. Die leistungsstarke Performance und vor allem das ruhige Schussverhalten sprechen für sich und überzeugen mich.

I bought the Black Hunter 40# bow and the starters kit.
The bow is great and alot of fun to shoot! I like how I can take it down for easy storage while traveling.

I got my bow today and I already love it. I ordered an 50 lbs recurve take down for right handed and I just got that. Shots seem to be really powerful and satisfying compared to my old 30 lbs recurve. Beautiful coloring and shape will make this my main bow in no time.
My raiser is missing the “Black hunter”- logo, not sure if that’s intented. I wish you would add bow stringer OR step-by-step instructions on how to string your bow.
marek.mymail.corba (verified owner) –
This is beautiful piece of work. Im very satisfy with bow, 35lb is optimal for my training. Construction is interesting, simple but smart, only 2 screws and velvet patches, perfect. This is definitely not my last order. Thank you and continue in good job:)
higiniosantiago (verified owner) –
Me ha llegado hoy, solo 21 días. Mi primera impresión al abrir la caja fue un tanto negativa. El arco no tiene el logotipo de black hunter y los tornillos no son cromados como en modelos anteriores. Tras unas horas usando el arco he de decir que estoy muy contento con el rendimiento.
Buen arco aún sin logotipo.

This bow is great for beginners and advanced archers.
I use mine with a fast flight string. This also works great. The customer service is great. They replied to my question very quick. I totally recommend this bow.

I bought this bow several months ago and I absolutely love it. It looks amazing, it feels amazing in the hand and it sound great when you shoot. What else to expect … Well it was delivered within two weeks, so a good customer service as well!

After few weeks with this bow, I (sadly) have to say I am disappointed with it. First, my string was…problematic so I had to change it but yesterday I encountered a major problem – One of the limbs just literally split next to the place where a screw is holding together when I was shooting. I don’t know if I just got damaged or not too well-made a bow, or what happened, but really this is disappointing because now I have to order new limb for half of the price.
Bella (store manager) –
Hello,
Thank you for your purchase and sorry for the bad experience.
Don’t worry, if there is any quality issue, it is covered by the warranty.
Could you please send us your order number as well as the following information to the email (info@mandarinduck.net) or by replying this comment:
1. A picture of the damaged limbs.
2. Your draw length or simply how tall you are.
We will check your case and provide a solution for you.

She’s beautiful thank you. I would appreciate you getting your paperwork together though so people know what brace height they’re expecting and so forth what grain Arrow is recommended if someone doesn’t know what they’re looking for. And I really think it would be a good marketing strategy for you to sell a kit of some sort where you can get the bow as well as everything else you would need to get started maybe first light discount overall and by that I mean the bow a glove arrows wrist guard and a quiver as a package deal. Also Amazon is marking your bow up by about twenty bucks and they’re about to start screwing over little dealers big-time something to keep in mind I work for them they aren’t good. Also you can thank survival Lilly my fav for the reason I got this bow and I have to say it’s beautiful and it’s sweet nice and smooth.
Bella (store manager) –
Thanks a lot for your suggestions.
On our plan list, we already had the starter kits and the paperwork of the instructions.
They will both be released by the Mid of the year 2019.
The price on Amazon is 15% higher simply because Amazon charges us extra 15% of each order.
All products and services are provided directly by ourselves.
Yes, a great thanks to Lilly, she is our friends and you will soon see some new videos from her channel with our newly released products.
Best regards,
Mandarin Duck

My BH Just arrived today and I love the look and feel of the bow – I can’t believe how light it is.
What is the ideal nock height for the 35lb 60″
What would be the ideal spine and head weight

I recently bought this bow in 50 lbs draw weight and it is beautiful it has some kind of hardwood for the riser but the limbs to my surprise are gorgeous I thought they were just plain black but they have a Colour finish, very high-end bow for not much money, shoots beautiful like the name suggests it’s a hunting bow easily capable of large game but accurate enough to shoot a sparrow or even a fish if you’re feeling dareing , the postage was fast as well I live in the Republic of Ireland and it arrived in 10 days

Absolutely love it. The look and feel is excellent. Could not find the info anywhere about the recommended brace height? I bought the 60lb black hunter recurve.

Thanks for your purchase!
The recommended brace height is 8″.
We are developing our documents, soon you will see instruction paper with detail information shipped along with our bows.

I hope this is a real good bow because someone I know has one and he said he like his bow so I got me one
davidchriste123 (verified owner) –
This was my first serious bow. I got the recurve in 30# and this bow is amazing! And on top of that it is very good looking. I’ve had many people asking about the bow at the range.
I have a 29.5 DL and there is absolutely no stacking. The draw is smooth all the way.
The grip is on the small side but it fits me and is very comfortable.
Limbs are quick and seems to be of good quality.
I ended up changing the initial string for a flemish one.
bkalitatzp –
Can the limbs of this bow be changed to a long bow limbs on the same riser later on
Ken (store manager) –
Yes the BH longbow and recurve limbs are interchangeable.
Please make sure they are both right handed or left handed version.

Mandarin Duck
