The core (inner part) of the bow is made from various trees such as maple, rose and bamboo. The rear part of the bow (the part facing the target) and the ventral part (the part facing the shooter) are reinforced by lamination with two fiberglass panels made specifically for KeskinYay. The posterior part is usually transparent or black and the abdominal part is usually transparent or black. The handle and head parts are made of hardwood such as maple or ash. It is very fast, precise and has an optimal draw range. It is easy to pull and the spring does not jam/clog until it reaches the pull path. As a result of a long research and development process, it was designed as a high performance bow without compromising the traditional Ottoman bow shape.
