I'll start off by saying the bow itself is pretty fantastic. I purchased 2, one for my son and one for his friend. We went out this weekend and had a great time. After a few test shots, the kids were hitting the target and getting some pretty good groupings. The draw is very easy for my son, it was slightly hard for his friend, they are both 9. After 3 or 4 rounds, they were both drawing with ease.

The sighting needs improvement. it is not nearly adjustable enough for a real targeting bow.
The accessories that come with the bow ( wrist and finger guard ) are sub-par. You really need to purchase a leather three finger draw glove and a leather adjustable wrist guard.
The Arrows are almost jokingly bad. The cheap plastic knock broke on all 4 arrows (2 from each set) within 3 shots each. You will need some more arrows to do anything useful.

If I just had to rate the bow, I would say it is a 4, the sighting being its one detractor. I took off another star due to the poor quality of the accessories.

The price was under $40 each and we had a great time. I did buy 2 dozen arrows, wrist guards and shooting gloves. The boys shot all day on Saturday and then again for a few hours on Sunday. They were consistently hitting the target after a few rounds and some pointers. We shot into a foam target and the arrows we used did penetrate deeply enough that we lost several tips.

A good bow. My 9 year old is 65 lbs and can fully draw it. Bow pressure breaks at just the right point for her. I love the fact that it comes with an armguard and quiver. Finger rollers included but seem unnecessary. Bought practice arrows as the included ones are pretty basic.

We've had this for over a year now and it still works very well. We bought it for our 8 year old son as a starter bow and he loves it. (He was a big strong 8 year old though.) It is well made and shoots well, across our back yard to the target we bought. People buying this expecting a professional bow for an adult will be disappointed, but if we wanted a good quality STARTER bow for a youth at a great price and this was it. Only con is we keep losing arrows :)

This bow is my first and it was a perfect choice for the price. Best beginner archery set I could imagine. The only issue I had was the arrows, but it's not a big deal since arrows are inexpensive. I have recommended this bow to friends.

I got this for my 13 year old daughter on her birthday. I was looking for something that would be good for a young beginner, but not a small child. I also did not want to break the bank. This fit the bill perfectly. She takes it out every weekend for target practice. It's not too hard for her or her younger sister, but still give plenty of challenge and fun. If any other child should want a bow, I would choose this one again, especially for the price.
