This bow is light weight and I'm actually kinda accurate with it. I have no clue how I'm supposed to put on the silencers. It didn't come with any type of pin or glue. Anywhom, I'm happy with this bow, great price, strong #35 bow.

Great value for the money. Arrived quickly as I was notified. Well packaged. Very satisfied.

I am not sure if this is my fault or the companies. Firstly, the bow came quickly, and it absolutely was beautiful and shot wonderfully, with that coming from a newbie archer. The otter balls worked great too. But the problem is I owned two of these bows, and both of them broke after the first use. The first one, during initially taking it out to shoot, developed a hairline split on the arrow rest, so I figured I'd return it for a new one, given that wood doesn't mend itself over time. I was out of town and ended up leaving the bow while strung in my car, but the tension + summer heat caused the limbs to split where the glue was holding the laminate together.

So I returned it thinking it might have been a production issue, but with the second bow the same thing happened. Due to circumstances, I was forced to leave the bow in my car during the work day before I could take it home (again while strung because I planned to use it later), and when I came out to my car, the bows laminate limbs had already given out.

I understand you shouldn't leave a strung bow in your car, especially during the summer, but I really don't think a brand new bow should be giving out so easily for what is a standard temperature where I live (90+ degrees, central Ohio). As much as I want to keep the bow because I like it, unfortunately I can't trust the product. The glue they use likely is cheap and can't withstand prolonged exposure to heat, and I'm glad I found that out before my purchase was un-returnable. Obviously take this with a grain of salt, because other people have left great reviews and gotten lots of use of their bow. Maybe I just royally goofed up? I don't know, but I hope this was helpful!

I've bought a few bows through Amazon recently, and I've been into traditional archery my whole (47 year) life. I generally prefer the greater speed and compact design of recurve bows. This type of bow I would call a flatbow and not a recurve, because the tips don't curl around so that the string lays against the limbs. A flatbow like this is usually 60" long or more, so I was delighted to see this in 54". Is the draw as smooth as a 60-incher? No; it stacks (increases in draw weight) as you draw back. But with a bow of this geometry, that's what you get. The advantage is that you can underdraw to knock targets off a fence and then retrieve your arrows without hiking a mile, or you can get a lot of power, speed and distance by overdrawing. I'm having lots of fun shooting this bow. I also love the aesthetic of this bow. The riser is a nut-brown wood with a matte finish. Classy and understated semi-primitive look, even though the bow shoots like a precision weapon. And the price is amazing!!

Got this for my sister and she loves it. I've shot it and it's really light and easy to control.
