I bought this for my 13 year old daughter and it was the perfect size for her. She has been looking to start archery and this was the perfect bow for to start with. She's out there everyday with it practicing.

This is great for my husband and I who are just getting into archery. As we shoot with different hands, we are sharing this ambidextrous bow. It doesn't come with a stringer or instructions, but both of these are easy to find online. We used the combat arrows to do a little target practice inside while we get more comfortable.

I purchased this bow as a gift for my 12 years old son. He has expressed an interest in archery after watching some cartoons. I have then purchased 3 different bows online, to try and pick the right one for him. Finally, we have decided to keep this one.

Pros:
1. Well written manual, easy to understand how to assemble the bow
2. High quality of all parts
3. I picked the orange color, it looks great!
4. Easy to assemble
5. With the included stringer, putting and removing string is very simple, takes no effort
6. Comfortable handle
7. Very easy to use, my child got used to it within minutes

Cons
1. Somewhat heavy for 12 years old
2. The bow is somewhat on the stronger side for 12 years old, he has hard time pulling the string all the way. So, he pulls the string about 3/4, and shoots from shorter distance in order to hit the target.
3. This bow is very, very basic, you can not customize it in any way, can not add sights, etc.
4. This bow does not come with bag or arrows, you will need to purchase that separately.

Things you will need for this bow:
1. Set of arrows, 30 inch in length. I like Tiger Archery 30Inch Carbon Arrow Practice Hunting Arrows
2. Arrow rest fur sticker, something inexpensive, I like HRCHCG Archery Arrow Rest Stick Fur
3. You will need a bag for recurve takedown bow
4. You will need Arrow Quiver
5. You need archery target, I like Morrell Yellow Jacket

With that said, introducing the archery to children may be somewhat expensive, but surely kids will love the new activity. I highly recommend this bow for the introduction purpose, just to start with. If after sometime your child decides to take this activity to the next level, there is no limit how much you can spend of professional bows and related equipment, but that will be different story :).

My wife always wanted to try archery. This bow is easy to draw and seems to be good quality. Watch a couples videos and you'll be amazed at how well you do.

just got it in and shot with it, good for beginners. will see how well it holds up
