Combat Archery Takedown Right-Left Handed 25LBS Recurve Bow

I purchased this bow as a gift for my 12 years old son. He has expressed an interest in archery after watching some cartoons. I have then purchased 3 different bows online, to try and pick the right one for him. Finally, we have decided to keep this one.Pros:1. Well written manual, easy to understand how to assemble the bow2. High quality of all parts3. I picked the orange color, it looks great!4. Easy to assemble5. With the included stringer, putting and removing string is very simple, takes no effort6. Comfortable handle7. Very easy to use, my child got used to it within minutesCons1. Somewhat heavy for 12 years old2. The bow is somewhat on the stronger side for 12 years old, he has hard time pulling the string all the way. So, he pulls the string about 3/4, and shoots from shorter distance in order to hit the target.3. This bow is very, very basic, you can not customize it in any way, can not add sights, etc.4. This bow does not come with bag or arrows, you will need to purchase that separately.Things you will need for this bow:1. Set of arrows, 30 inch in length. I like Tiger Archery 30Inch Carbon Arrow Practice Hunting Arrows2. Arrow rest fur sticker, something inexpensive, I like HRCHCG Archery Arrow Rest Stick Fur3. You will need a bag for recurve takedown bow4. You will need Arrow Quiver5. You need archery target, I like Morrell Yellow JacketWith that said, introducing the archery to children may be somewhat expensive, but surely kids will love the new activity. I highly recommend this bow for the introduction purpose, just to start with. If after sometime your child decides to take this activity to the next level, there is no limit how much you can spend of professional bows and related equipment, but that will be different story :).

My wife always wanted to try archery. This bow is easy to draw and seems to be good quality. Watch a couples videos and you’ll be amazed at how well you do.

This has been a great bow for my 12yr old daughter. I was worried the 25lb draw would be too much... not a problem at all. Easy to assemble, but does not come with an arrow rest so be sure to get one separately if you want one. The cheap stick-on rests have been fine so far.

I'm not a person who uses things like a bow and arrow - but when we bought a house with a big yard we figured it might be fun. It's one of the biggest hits whenever we have people over. We set up some targets on a table and take aim. The safe arrows are great, and honestly I love this thing. But then a year later it broke. One of the curved pieces snapped, and that was that. I made the mistake of buying a replacement part from the manufacturer. That was dumb. I paid way more that I would have paid had I just bought a new bow from amazon. Live and learn. Anyway, just be careful with it - I think it broke because I put it in the trunk of my car with some other things and was careless. Or it just broke when I used it and didn't notice. IDK - great bow and pretty cheap so go have fun!

Great now for target practiceAnd the quality of the bow is solid

Bought this as a 1st bow for my son and he loves it. The bow is sturdy built, and has great action. It assembles easy as well. Very happy with this product.

I bought this for my 13 year old daughter and it was the perfect size for her. She has been looking to start archery and this was the perfect bow for to start with. She’s out there everyday with it practicing.

This is great for my husband and I who are just getting into archery. As we shoot with different hands, we are sharing this ambidextrous bow. It doesn't come with a stringer or instructions, but both of these are easy to find online. We used the combat arrows to do a little target practice inside while we get more comfortable.

We bough it for our 12 years old son for his birthday. In came in a box, really safely packed. Easy to put together. The bow is just te perfect size for everyone to use with him, adults included. Seems like great quality too. We use every weekend and so far so good.

Great bow, very strong and comfortable to shoot with.

We order 15 of these bows. My son and his friends really enjoyed them. 4 of them arrives damaged as the bows delaminated. No problem returning them and ordering new ones

This is my first bow and I am really liking it. It’s easy to assemble and you can shoot from both sides.

Great for novice....right or left shelf works great....i am able to improve as I learn...bow stringer included just fine....I am enjoying this bow every day. Wish list: arms to sometimes make this bow 40 to 50 pounds.
