Introducing Mariner Traditional Chinese Bows

Some friends and I have been keeping tabs on the Chinese traditional bow making market and have noticed an improvement in the quality of affordable Chinese-made bows. In the interest of promoting craftsmen who do good work (and do justice to the reputation of traditional Chinese bows), I want to announce that I am reselling Mariner (水手) Traditional Chinese Bows.

Mariner's been gaining quite a good reputation in China for his handmade laminated bows (with a layered bamboo core and fiberglass belly/back). I use a Mariner bow for my own personal shooting, as well as light Mariner bows for teaching beginners. The bows feel really nice and I am proud to introduce them to the international community. Feel free to contact us at <[email protected]> if you have any questions.

Has anyone bought or have experience of these bows sufficient to give us an independent opinion of them?

Nice looking bows Justin and at a reasonable price mark. Look forward to hearing some feed back on them.

I just got the Ming 4 and I can't say enough good things about it is AMAZING. Fast, stable, and quiet.

They are recommended by Peter Dekker. So I placed an order for each of Ming and Manchu bows. Will let you guys know how they are.
