Customer Reviews

A nice starter bow
I purchased this unit for my 12 year old daughter on the advice of an archery buff friend. After a little internet research and tinkering (the instructions are not very good), she has been shooting-up a storm with it. She had little problem with the 21 pound draw weight and the compound mechanism really helped her hold her shots steady. As shipped, the unit is fairly complete but you'll probably want to add a nock, and some thread to wrap around the string to fatten it up so that it will more securely position an arrow for firing. Please note that the bow came with an "all weather" string that makes the addition of standard sighting aids (like a rear "peep" aperature) a bit problematic. That said, this is a bow that is actually capable of decent accuracy and is well suited for smaller/weaker frames. The bow is sufficiently accurate that she has rapidly progressed to shooting very well and now wants to get fitted for a more expensive rig.

Good value, but somewhat lacking
This is a great first bow for a young boy. Everything needed is in the package, including a sight, two arrows, a finger pad and an arm protector. Assembly is minimal and straightforward, but a little more documentation could make it even easier.

This being a compound bow, the effort to hold it is low. Drawing it still requires some strength, however, and not all 8-9 year-old will be able to do it repeatedly.

At this price, one cannot expect great accuracy, which is indeed lacking. The power is not sufficient for anything much longer than 10 yards either. But as a first bow for kids, it is adequate.

Great beginner to intermediate bow!
This is a great bow for the money, great for a beginner and good enough for an intermediate shooter. I would recommend this bow and would deffinately buy from this outfit again!
