HI all; 61 yrs old here, had limited experience using recurve bows in my teens. Got the bug to get back in. Found this bow with great reviews for beginning adults. I’m 6ft 2, with an arm span of 7ft 7 inch (I know, my lineage came out of the trees a lot later than others 🙂 Had an injured rotator cuff 15yrs ago. Never did intense PT to rehab it. Got it up to 95% recovery on my own but if I overdo it, it hurts the next day a lot. Didn’t want a 70lb pull as that would strain the old injury. Went to get the bow tuned up today, Had the draw weight at set at a comfortable 50 lbs with a draw length of 30 inches. Like they say, very versatile, Went
I’m not experienced/proficient enough to leave a good headline. But a good description of my use follows.
Perfect bow for the perfect price. This was my first attempt at buying a “high quality” modern compound bow. Although I was a bit weary of ordering a bow online without trying it in person, it seems that I made a very good choice. Out of the box, the bow was ready to be fired. However, I took it to my local archery shop to get it properly set up and adjusted. The included accessories are of decent quality and can be easily replaced if you wish to. The bow shoots quiet, has low recoil, and is very beginner friendly. Also, the bow is insanely adjustable and will suit you for a life time to come — should you take care of it. Update: it’s been over a year and the bow is still holding strong. I’ve included some pictures to prove it’s still alive and well. I did swap out
Very impressed with the quality
I have mixed feelings about this bow. Overall I recognize the positive things other reviewers have already mentioned like the fact it fits a wide range of draw lengths, is easy to adjust the equally wide range of draw weights, etc. If I left it at that, this would be a five star review. As an overall package, for the price it’s not too bad, although you will likely find yourself replacing / upgrading parts in not too long if you shoot a lot. Both of the string silencers that came with my bow broke off after about a month, the packaged Tundra site is horrific at best, and I didn’t find the 5″ Octane stabilizer any more effective than shooting with no stabilizer at all. Like I said, for the price point, I can’t really complain, but now my”I love it” just becomes”it’s okay.” Then comes my”I
