I bought this for me and my wife to play around with and to create a more challenging shooting situation then that of shooting a compound bow with the fancy sighting system. It shoots well and seems to be constructed well enough for reliability and long term use with proper care of course. Very affordable fun to shoot family recurve bow. Works well for left handed or right handed use. (Recommended for a shooter on a budget) 5 stars

I'm really happy with this item. Not only was it exactly what I've been looking for for the last 10 months, but the price was much lower than what I thought I'd be paying. 5 stars

I bought this bow for the nostalgia factor. The first bow I ever shot was of similar design and construction. I'll grant you that most people don't look back at freshman gym class affectionately, but i did have fun with archery. I was concerned when I bought this that it wouldn't stand up to adult use or that it might be poorly made, given its price. I was relieved when I opened the box and strung the bow, realizing that it was indeed of good quality. My old aluminum arrows were quite a disappointment though. They were obviously meant only for compound bows,and they weren't really all that great in my compound. I have since ordered the cedar arrows that amazon recommends with this bow. Wooden arrows are, after all, what we used with our bows back in gym class. Despite my using the wrong arrows for the bow i still have to give it 5 stars, especially for the price, besides it wasn't the bows fault i used the wrong arrows and the bow still did fairly well even with those awful arrows. 5 stars

I ordered this bow just to use for target practice. I have a long bow 60# but the string hits the underside of your wrist everytime you shoot it, so you have to wear proper wrist protecter while shooting. This bow you can shoot without any wrist protection. Fun to shoot, simple, durable/great bow for the price. Will probably buy another for my son. 5 stars
