Xerxes Old Persian

The Xerxes Old Persian hornbow by Lukasz Nawalny during the Thumb Archery Germany e.V. event in Schalkau in May 2024 I have test shot the Xerxes hornbow prototype, which Lukasz has brought with him to introduce the bow 👊😁 Since I love hornbows I couldn’t resist and ordered one 😇 Today my Xerxes Old Persian hornbow has arrived and I took the opportunity to take a video (the weather forecast isn’t that good for the next days and Eastern is family time, so we have a cloudy sky, anyway…). The Xerxes has a very smooth draw and no vibration after the shot at all ☺️ Furthermore, the bow is ready to shoot straight after stringing- no corrections needed, which is remarkable! The speed is very good: today I have reached 180,6 fps at 9 gpp and ~28” draw. These are the Xerxes Specs: Length ntn: 54,5“ Length strung: 51“ Weight: 570gr Brace height: 8“ Arrow pass: 24,7mm Max draw: 31“ Siyah length: 11“ Bending length: 30,5“ Technology: composite Materials: Bamboo, ash wood in siyahs (?), sinews, Buffalo horn, leather, string groove in siyah sections, rayskin arrow pass protection The content of this video is 00:00 Start 01:26 Introduction 08:01 Shooting 14:33 Speed test 16:57 Résumé Thank you so much, dear Lukasz for this very awesome bow! 🫶 Thanks for watching!
