Your cart is empty. Question: Why the poundage of athletic recurve bow is only 18-36 pounds?
Answer: Athletic archery need to be stable.Every action should be consistent when drawing the bow.If the poundage is high, your action is easy to be out of contral, which will lead to mistake.There are 144 arrows in a game, shotting several rounds, high poundage will make people tired.

This is my second year of recreational archery. I am not a hunter - I do it just for personal satisfaction. I shoot 72 arrows every day. It gets me outside and gives me something to focus on. I have a bow and sight combination worth over $600. It was a gift of a friend who inspired me to try archery. I've reached a point where I was ready for greater draw weight. My current bow is 25 pounds. I needed at least 35 pounds. Instead of purchasing an expensive set of arms, I thought I would try an inexpensive take-down bow. For this price I had limited my expectations. But, I was extremely surprised. This bow is superb. It's not fancy. It's everything needed for recurve archery. It's a great bow to start width. I love simple things that are great at what they do. This is an example of that. I am 75 years old and I love archery. Give it a try. It is a martial art. It teaches patience and self-confidence.

I bought a left handed bow recently and it is quality bow that I’ve enjoyed using, but they gave me a right handed sight to install on this left handed bow, which doesn’t really work backwards, so I can’t use the sight that came with it, although I’m not that bad just aiming with my eye!

Purchased the 20lb right handed 68in takedown recurve bow last week and had the first opportunity to shoot it today.It is quiet and a pleasure to shoot. Some comments I read before purchasing was that the plastic arrow rest was breaking. On my 42nd arrow the arrow rest broke. I was able to continue with the portion I still had, but I’ll need to replace it.I did not install the sight or elevation gauge (looks like cheap plastic) as I am choosing to shoot instinctually. The forearm guard is fine for a new archer (this is my first bow). The finger tab is comfortable but gets loose on my large male hand after every arrow fired.Set up of the bow was easy. My box came with instructions in english and pictures. The instructions either didn’t explain setting up the arrow nocks or I overlooked it. A YouTube search helped me out. The bow string is quiet and the stringer works as intended.Overall, I would recommend the bow and would purchase this again as a beginner package. I intend to replace the broken arrow rest and get a different finger tab or glove.

Not too bad for a starter bow. I bought a the left handed bow as I'm cross-eye dominant, but the finger tab that comes with the kit is a right handed one. When I asked about getting a proper one the Sinoart rep advised me that there was no such thing and to just turn it over hahaha. This is wrong of course, as you can't get a clean release using the back side of a finger tab. Also, left handed finger tabs are quite easy to find. Just not on amazon.Ordered two more of these bows, one for each of my children. Great to get thinks started and keep them going for years.

This is a really great novice/intermediate bow, it has quality limbs and a sturdy riser. The string came well waxed and the package shipped quickly to Aus, the arm guard was of surprising quality as well as the finger tab. Things that let the bow down was the cheap sight although I shoot bare bow so that didn’t matter and the bow is a bit loud so if your hunting you will need beaver balls. Overall a fantastic bow would recommend.

I can't believe I was hesitant about buying this, it far exceeds my expectations! Where to start...The bow is very well made and easy to set up. You can be shooting in less than 20 min. maybe a bit longer if you are new to bows. I got the 32 lb bow which is nice, a bit much for a child but perfect for pretty much anyone over 14. It comes with everything you need, Riser, limbs, string, stringer, 2 notch's, arrow rest, wrist protector and 3 finger leather protector and sighting system. I was going to upgrade the sights but really there is no need, the stock one works fine. I would get a new rest (perhaps a fancier one) and some Otter hides to quiet the bow but that's about it. For me this bow was an easy way to explore the sport and I gotta say I'm kind of hooked! I see some of the complaints, and honestly, I don't think they are warranted, I believe the reason this bow is popular is because it truly works well and the customer service is great! Oh, get arrows...plenty of them because you will need them! 10/10 A+++ finally a product I don't need to send back!

First let me start off that I cant even being to understand how you hit yourself in the face while stringing this bow if you do it per the instructions. I dont even use the stringer anymore but that person failed themselves dont be afraid of the stringer. I bought the 30 lb draw tye bow is great, take my advice and invest in a good set of arrows with nice long feathered fletches it makes all the difference in the world. The bow is nicely constructed and has about 500 shots on it now working great. Included finger tab is actually really nice. Cons: 1) Included arrow rest is disposable dont even install it just buy a different one when you order the bow, read the other reviews they always break. 2) Camo arm guard is nice but tacky for a recurve you cant legally hunt with since the highest draw weight they sell is below the legal limit. Some brown/black leather would have been nice. 3) Brass threaded inserts arent glued in they pull out easily and need to be constantly pushed back in. Note: I am 6'1" and I pull this bow until my hand touches my cheek and the string is on my nose with 30 inch arrows with no issue not sure how big you have to be to pull it to 32" as advertised to get full draw but if you are smaller than me maybe consider buying a higher draw than you planned on to get full poundage at your actual draw length.

Pretty pleased with this bow for the price. The accessories are not the best but honestly less cheap-feeling than I expected. We are beginner archers and only used a Samick Sage previously. When we were unable to get a Sage in 20 lbs. we looked for something similar and found this. Obviously not as good quality but in the past 3 days we've shot around 700 arrows and are pleased with how it shoots. The test will be to see how durable it is but it feels solid and well constructed and I doubt it will break.

I shot semi-pro archery for years in my younger days. Decided to take it back up again. At this price I wasn't expecting an incredible system, just adequate for practice. I bought 2 bows from this company-- one wood riser and one metal riser. Both were more than adequate. (Note: a 66" or 68" bow isn't intended for hunting. I purchased both as target bows.)PROS:* Everything for around $100. (I am surprised they didn't inclue a nock or two with the system).* The sight is quite a bit better quality than I expected with this. It is made of quality plastic / vinyl and micro-adjustable.* Includes an arm guard and finger guard. Minimal but adequate.* In general the bow is well made. Everything lines up, no twisted limbs.CONS:* The arrow rest is pretty cheap; the wire broke almost immediately (so trip down to the local store to buy a decent one). You can probably plan on having to do the same thing. Vinyl screw-through arrow rests are easily available on Amazon and elsewhere.* All instructions are in Chinese. I have to wonder-- why distribute a bow in America without English instructions? For a beginning archer, English instructions (or at least a website link) would have been nice.I noticed the price went up in the 2 days since I bought it. I paid $95 for mine. But if it remains close to $100-- it's definitely a good buy.
