I've shot traditional bows now for over 60 years, recurves and longbows. Tried compounds once, didn't like it. This bow is one of the better values for your money I've ever seen. I got it in a 45 lb. weight since as I have aged I can't comfortably shoot the 64 lb. longbow I'd been using for almost 30 years now.

This bow is smooth and well-made. I'm more used to a traditional longbow-style handle but this one is fine, I have not had to modify it at all. It is as light as any longbow I've ever shot, and I've shot one made by Howard Hill's protege John Schulz. I have a beautiful Zebra Nighthawk that cost hundreds more and that's about the same physical weight and the light weight just makes bows a joy to shoot. It's the equal of any bow I've seen that they now charge hundreds of dollars more for.

It is as accurate and smooth-shooting as just about any bow I've ever shot. I'd buy this bow again in a heartbeat!

Got the bow in, got it set up and have been shooting it. Went today for the first meet with this bow, shot 30 targets and the lower limb delaminated right under the handle.
***UPDATE*** The seller contacted me via Amazon messages and offered to replace the bow. I did not reach out to them because I had been shooting the bow for over a month when it broke. They replaced my bow, no questions asked. I have received the new bow just in time for a tournament this coming weekend. Time will tell if the issue that arose with the other bow is a "one off" or if it is a quality issue across the board. As of now, due to the excellent customer service that I have received, I am changing my review to 4 stars.

You'd be hard pressed to find another one piece longbow at this price with this much value. Very nice bow. Couple bumps in the finish but very minor. Shoots well. Has some hand shock out of the box. I swapped the string to a fast flight and added some string silencers. Almost all the hand shock went away.

One thing all the included accessories are complete garbage. Went straight into the trash. So don't buy this and expect to use them. You'll need to provide your own.

With some proper set up this is a very nice bow. Do yourself a favor though and toss all the accessories and get some decent quality ones. Also add some string silencers to tame the hand shock and quiet it down.

What a smooth little shooter! Everything arrived in the box as was in the description. I have been thinking of trying out a finger tab lately as I've shot with a glove for 10+ years so I'm glad it came with one. It's an "economy" tab but it works fine for my 35 lb bow. I had it set up and shooting in 5 minutes, couldn't believe how quiet it is, I won't even bother putting string silencers on it. Maybe I've just grown used to the sound of takedown bows over the years and this being a one piece bow is just drastically more quiet. Fit and finish is very nice for the price. It is extremely light, I measured right at 1lb on my scale. Pull weight was also right on the money with 35.34 lbs at 28" draw. This will definitely be my new everyday shooter for the foreseeable future. Also, this is perfect for those with smaller hands, it fits me the best out of all my bows

I initially purchased this bow back in May. I was looking for a traditional style bow without breaking the bank, as I didn't know if I would commit to Trad Archery. It arrived sooner than expected, though the rest of my setup took a few days longer to get here. On first inspection, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the bow compared to what I spent. It was a very attractive piece, with no noticeable defects or tool marks. The black walnut complimented the bamboo and black fiberglass laminates very well. Once everything arrived, I put it all together and shot this thing every chance I got. Every practice session involved me putting dozens of arrows through this bow at 15, 25, and 30 yards. I was very happy with how smooth and quiet it was to shoot, though I am still looking for the right arrow/broadhead combo for this coming season. Unfortunately, at the end of July we had a massive heatwave come in, with temperatures around 110. The high temps caused the glue to loosen up, resulting in a delamination of the fiberglass/bamboo layers. I was just outside of Amazon's return policy, however the manufacturer AF Archery was more than happy to help me out. ShanShan was very quick in his responses, and offered to reimburse me for the cost of a new bow. With the second rendition of my bow now set up and ready to go, I will continue to search for the perfect arrow/broadhead combo, and will hopefully take my first bow kill this fall.
