Brutal Power and Exceptional Durability
The Hungarian Recurve Bow Bear Medve, known as the Medve Bow, was developed in response to growing demand for a traditional bow capable of delivering significantly higher draw weights while maintaining the elegance and shooting characteristics of classic Hungarian horse bows.
Its design philosophy is simple:
maximum power, maximum durability and authentic traditional appearance.
The Bear bow retains the graceful profile of earlier Hungarian recurve bows while strengthening the components exposed to the highest levels of stress. The result is a powerful traditional bow capable of draw weights up to 110 lbs, making it one of the strongest traditional Hungarian horse bows available.
Its rugged appearance, outstanding performance and exceptional longevity have made it a popular choice among traditional archers, historical enthusiasts and bowhunters around the world.
