THE BLACK KHAMPA BOW BY FAIRBOW GREEN 45 LBS @ 28 INCH

The newest Recurve or Horsebow designed by Fairbow.

We have a couple of ancient bows on the wall in our living room and this Tibetan or Qinghai bow has been calling for attention for a couple of years now.

The shape has been scanned, the mathematical designer has calculated the curves and our bowyer has sprinkled some 'Finger Spitzen Gefuhl' on it.
The outcome is this 133 cm short (52 inch) C-shaped recurve.

The bow is always measured at 28-inch draw-length for comparisons and always tested at 32 inches draw-length.
We found the design to be without stacking and more importantly without hand shock.

As the riser or handle area is small, upon request, we supply a bit of leather with the bow so you can easily make a leather grip beefing up the circumference of the riser.

We think these bows shoot best with 10 grain per pound (gpp) and are covered with our famous Lifetime Warranty.

These bows have tiny string bridges. Much smaller than the original bows. We think these work the same, but less weight is more speed.

The nocks of the Khampa are reinforced with two slivers of black micarta making them fit for modern strings.
As can be expected from a Fairbow product, the Khampa has been made with Top quality pultrusion fiberglass over Stabil core (THE carbon alternative)  and Supercore bamboo. The siya's and the riser are glued in between the cores.

These bows are shipped to you with a large looped endless bowstring and a bow bag.

The Khampa have a fearsome reputation as the most hostile and violent of Tibetans. "Tall and well-built men, fearless and open of countenance, they resemble Apache Indians, with plaited hair hanging from each side of well-modeled heads"
