iMay45" Bow and Arrows Set for Teens Recurve Archery Beginner Gift Longbow Kit Includes 9 Arrows, 4 Target Face Paper, Armground,Quiver, Sight 18 Lb for Backyard Sport Game

No string

I did not expect very much out of this simple little bow, but I was purchasing it for my kid who has never used one before so I want really concerned about that. I just wanted something my 10 year old could draw on their own to go to the archery range and do some target practice to have something fun to do outside, build some focus and attention, get a little exercise, that kind of thing. I tried it myself, however, and was very impressed that it not only easily hit the target on the first shot, but embedded the arrow more than halfway into the fiber target! This could function for small game hunting with enough practice and the right kind of arrows and heads.My kid was but nearly as impressed, but still had fun learning range etiquette and getting to shoot targets with friends who were also out there getting in some archery practice. We lost one of the screws that holds the sight in place, so I'll need to find a replacement for that but my kid is still on the very basics of archery and doesn't even understand how to use that part yet. Assembling the bow was pretty easy for me, but I did need to sit while doing so in order to use my feet to hold the opposite end in place while stringing it. I also put the string on the wrong direction at first, but that was a very easy fix to make. The quiver feels very sturdy and even though the strap is awkward to get on/off I think it's going to last a long time and that we will become accustomed to it with use.The arm guard is a little persnickety to adjust, so be aware of that if you have issues with dexterity or grip, and it is definitely sized for a child or small adult.Assembly instructions were mostly in pictures, but overall easy to follow, especially if you already have some level of archery experience.I would recommend this product to someone who is new to archery and especially for someone looking for a bow for a child age 8 or older. I think about age 8 is the youngest that would likely be able to draw this bow due to it's size, but that would definitely depend on your child's height and strength. Would probably also be great for seniors looking to maintain or gain arm strength. You're not going to be able to down a deer with this, but if you get good enough using it I can see it being able to take rabbits, squirrels, and similar sized small game with the appropriate arrows.

Works great, we have used it a lot and no issues. It's draw is not to heavy for youngsters but at full draw still has a suprising amount of power. I expected to be disappointed for the price, but ended up impressed.

SI ME GUSTO

I got this archery set for my grandson who will be turning 10 years old. I wasn't sure what to expect so I watched the video and the child popping a balloon. He was about the same size as my grandson, so I ordered the set. I am very pleased with the set. It isn't a "toy" but a strong well made archery set. The arrow are very nice. They are a good length, balanced and have a strong tip. The set is complete unless you need a bale of hay for safety. My grandson loves it and after going over safety rules has enjoyed it every day. Because of his age, I still supervise the activity and do not let his friends use the set.

Great quality! Went to another store to buy a board to go along with it the bullseye paper that came with it to make it more fun to actually have something to aim at . Would definitely buy it again.
