"Great Little Bow"

I purchased this for my 9 yr old son. This is a great beginner bow, very sturdy and well made; I was shocked at how reasonable the price was. My son and his friends play with it every day; they love it. I highly recomend this product to any one. 5 stars

"Great Youth Bow...One Flaw"

This is a great youth bow that even our teenagers enjoy. We easily would have given it 5 stars, however we had a problem in that the arrow "holder" broke off and we had to pull a spring-type from an old bow and improvise. Other than that a great bow for young archers. 4 stars

"Bow is adequate, other stuff is junk"

The bow itself seems well-made, although very very weak. With a full draw and shooting at a 45 degree angle, the arrow will go about 100 feet. If you limit yourself to 20-30 foot shots, it's OK.

The included accessories, however, are total junk. Don't even bother putting on the quiver, it just gets in the way and the arrows fall out. The finger tab is adequate, I guess, but the wrist protector is incredibly cheap. There's no adjustment and the elastic broke within a few minutes.

The arrows? Horrible.

Overall, the bow was just barely good enough so that it was too much trouble to return the whole thing. If you get this kit, plan on spending another $30 or so on a wrist protector and some decent arrows.

If I had it all to do over again, I'd go to some local sporting goods store and look into a nice little beginner's recurve bow instead of this compound one.
