First off, this is the third bow I've purchased from Sino Art. I have their 40 lb & 50 lb. I'm a fan. Then yesterday I drew my 60 lb and the lower limb split. I've had the bow 5 weeks. I figure its that one in a million defect, but the disappointment is real.
31 Aug update: Sino Art read this review, reached out to me and offered a replacement at no cost. Great customer service.

First off, I've never shot a bow in my life let alone held one, so my experience in archery is absolutely 0.

Upon opening the box and taking out the riser, I was very impressed with the feel of it. There's a good weight to it, it feels solid and strong. It is a little awkward for my hands though. I'm an average size guy, 5'11" 180lbs with hopefully average size hands, but the riser feels like it's slightly too big/thick. I don't feel like it would really affect anything, it's just something for me to get used too.

Assembly took minutes, extremely easy but if you're a little confused just know the bottom limb is the one that has the draw weight and length written on it. Utilizing the stringer was a simple process as well, maybe watch a YouTube video if the directions are unclear.

Along with the bows components, stringer, and allen key, came an accessory pack of sorts which I found interesting. There appears to be 2 brass nocks, 2 strips of felt for (everything I describe is what I believe to be, I'm not 100% on the purpose of these items) silencing the string where it meets the limbs, 1 piece of square fur for setting a pivot point on the arrow rest, and 2 strips of fur (I believe it's skunk actually lol) for attaching to the string to silence it.

All this was a surprise to me because the description didn't mention any of that when I bought it, but this is all definitely a huge plus.

Next I just want to list some things/concerns that you'll still need to address before anything that probably isn't too obvious if you're new to archery as well:
- Target: go out and and actually get you something that's meant to be shot at. Trees are too hard, you need something that'll keep your arrows intact.
- Arrows: any 30in arrow should be fine for now since you're just starting. The tips should have field points on them.
- Finger tabs/gloves: I've read that repeated use of a bow without protecting your fingers can/will cause nerve damage sooner than later, I didn't know that till after I used the bow cause yeah it actually hurts your finger tips drawing the string back. Just imagine carrying some object, at whatever weight you're buying, with a thin string with just your first 3 fingers. It ain't gonna feel too good. Do your body a favor and protect it.
- Forearm protector: I bought one cause I heard horror stories, but honestly I haven't had any issues yet. I even forgot to put it on once and went through 10 arrows before I realized it. Maybe just good form, maybe I'm just lucky, I don't know but what I do know is that you wouldn't be wrong to have it. You're already saving a ton of money by buying this bow, spending $10 shouldn't break you.

Shooting the bow is definitely a new and interesting experience. I bought the 40lbs version, at my body type/build (slightly athletic), I definitely do feel the weight of the bow. Albeit, I think a significant part of that has to do with the pain in my fingers (I'll be purchasing finger gloves soon) but it does still take some effort on my part to get the bow at my anchor point.

OVERALL/TL;DR:
This bow exceeded my expectations in terms of quality. If someone handed me this bow and told me it was $500, I would've believed them. I'm very much enjoying this new endeavor and definitely have 0 regrets about purchasing this particular item.

Bow was defective. It had a loud 'crack' sound when shooting and shot arrows erratically. Could not tune the bow to quiet it down and could not tune an arrow to shoot properly. I put the limbs on another riser and same thing. I suspect the limbs were out of tiller. I tried to contact the manufacturer but did not get a response. I would have been happy to receive another set of limbs to try out and keep the bow. After not hearing back from the seller I initiated a return from Amazon which was promptly authorized. Thanks Amazon. After reading my review the seller contacted me and said they had not received a message from me through Amazon. There is an after-sale card included with the bow that leaves an email address to contact the seller if there is a problem. Since I didn't initially want to return the bow, just receive a new pair of limbs I tried to contact the seller through the email they provided. The representative from the company told me that maybe there was a problem with their email and asked if I would be willing to try another bow. They promptly sent me another bow and it was here in just a couple days. The riser on this one was a little different color that I actually liked better than the first. The fit between the limbs and riser were much better, no gaps that I can see and the limbs fit the riser well. I installed a set of my own string silencers, twisted the string up to set the brace height at 8 1/4", and set the nock point at 1/2" above square. Bow shoots really well with Easton 2016's without any further adjustment. It is still a little louder than my other bows but I attribute that to the string. I have a new Flemish twist string on the way. Over all this product is a good value. I would have left five stars if the replacement bow had been the first one. The seller went out of their way to make me a satisfied customer. Thanks.

I bought this so that I have a takedown bow for traveling. There were no issues with the kit or delivery. The bow was easy to assemble, my only wish is that you could break it down without having to completely remove the bolt.

I turned 50 this week and wanted a brand new lefthand bow . I was taken by the beauty of this bow ,read about the great customer service and what others said . So I ordered my #50 lefthand bow . It came in really fast and was packaged very well . I at first was so upset because I had ordered a left handed bow and was a bit confused, I was then re educated . I did what other customers did and took my bow to a pro shop and had them put it together and due to some confusion it is a lefthand bow and they showed me how to shoot it properly. It took me a second to figure it out . I teach others instinctive shooting archery ,so the picture I shared is my first day shooting with a motley bunch of arrows. I suggest getting a good arm guard as well. love my sino-art bow . I got several sincere compliments from men with 2k bows at the shop and at the range . An accident happened and My bow shot at 20 yards an arrow into a 2x4 and came out the other side of the board by 4 inches ,so it is plenty powerful. It is well put together, has a great strength and is an amazing value . I definitely suggest having a pro shop put it together ,and showing you how to use it . I cannot say enough good things about this bow . This is the best 50th birthday present.
