Ashai
Ashai is blessed. Ashai is a blessing for lovers of the most powerful longbows
A wild bow with a real punch. Maximum reflexed limbs and a forward grip. Plus a massive heavy riser. Everything for maximum accuracy. In my offer, a unique bow profile inspired by Asian short bows. Its shooting performance is very captivating and attracts a lot of attention even among lovers of reflex bows.
The riser of the bow consists of hard domestic and exotic woods as Shedua, Zebrano, Jatoba, Ipe, Wenge, Ash, Maple and Walnut interspaced with thin color fiberglass reinforcement. The wood is pre-cut to segments, carefully selected and glued again. This enables higher toughness, stability and absorption capability of the riser. I consider the design of the riser that consists of hard woods and fiberglass to be an ideal solution from the point of esthetics, bow properties and safety.
The limbs are made of a core of bamboo and other lightweight wood laminations and, depending on the design, fiberglass or carbon laminate. Single cross carbon (SCX) version has a carbon on backing and a transparent or black fiberglass on the belly. Double cross carbon (DCX) has both laminates of 100% carbon.
There is a veneer under the transparent fiberglass. It serves one main purpose to show and celebrate the natural beauty of the wood. The choice of the veneer and wood type is down to personal preferences of each and every archer.
Every Ashai bow is varnished with 5 layers of matt 2 PUR varnish. The bow can be customized with brass inserts UNC 10-24 for a bow quiver mount. The grip can be dressed in leather on request.
Every Ashai bow is supplied with 12(14) threads of Dynaflight 97 or 16(18) threads of Spectra 652 string and Angel Majesty centre serving.
Ashai bows are made in these lengths:
64″ for max. draw length 29″ Recommended brace height is 7,25″ to 7,75″
