First a disclaimer, if you do not have strong triceps, shoulder/deltoid and back/latissimus dorsi muscles then you may have a hard time drawing back the bow and it takes quite a bit of strength to pull pass the threshold. If you hit the gym often or naturally bulky, then you shouldn't have any issues. If you are beginning, or thinking of getting into archery i suggest a bow with a lower draw weight to better get consistency of shots and positioning down, then upgrading to heavier draw weights overtime especially when shooting in long ranges. Great transition bow form a recurve to compound bow and/or 35-40lb draw weight

Design wise, it looks like a traditional shaped bow, but with compound features. People may mistake you are using a recurve bow from afar.

The accuracy and power is very good. Shots are consistent with the right form and technique. After the initial pull back threshold, the release is very satisfying as you can feel the speed and power exerted on the arrow as it flies to the target

Great bow if you're one who can handle a heavy draw weight of the initial pull. I'd get a loop rope, and compound bow wrist strap to get you started.

As many people say, a good beginners compound bow. The store where he organized it for me laughed. He said he had not seen a bow like that for 15 years. He set mine for 40 lbs and I am using 400 arrows with it. I would recommend a Wingeler Medium Arrow rest, although buying a more expensive one would possible be an option. Reason is you can put it onto a better bow if you buy one later. So all in all, a nice bow. Enjoy it.

Ill tell you what, for the money this thing is really nice. Its powerful and fairly accurate when you sight in and get the hang of it.

It is NOT however for kids or the average size woman. Even at the lowest 40lb setting. Its hard to initially pull, I thought my wife could handle it, but not even close at all....

Now I need to buy her a regular long bow...

I took off the worthless stock sight and installed a cheap whisper buscuit and circular 3 dot truglow sight, which are cheap here as well. Fixed my initial accuracy issues.

Great bow for the price. It's a left handed bow. So, you hold the bow with your right hand and pull the string with your left. (Which will prove difficult, as i'm a righty) The instructions aren't the best at explaining how to put on the string guard and sight. So I'd suggest going to Google. But even then, it's difficult to find info.

amazing, beautiful bow. it didn't come with instructions and I didn't use the original sights it came with because I purchased an upgrade kit, also available on amazon. That upgrade kit is a must buy with this item and was pretty easy to equip to this bow. I took it to my local bow shop and they shortened the draw length for me (free of charge and took 2 minutes). It shoots beautifully and feels great. I went with the all black because i thought it looks cool and it honestly does, makes me feel like an archer from a movie almost, can't wait to take this bow hunting!
