SinoArt 68" Metal Riser Takedown Recurve Bow Adult Archery Competition Athletic Bow Weights 20-40Lbs Right Handed Archery Kit

Ok so when I initially got this bow I would have given it a 2 star rating because the grip detached with every shot. But I wrote to the company and they were super responsive and verified thst their bows in the warehouse had the same issue. They contacted their factory and had them glue up a new riser with the grup attached and sent it to me very quickly. I received it and works great! So to explain my 5 star review: you have to understand this is not an Olympic recurve bow. This is a starter bow. I have put over 1000 shots through it. The string is fine, the limbs are fine (make sure you instring every time!). And even though the arrow rest is cheap and the site is pretty mich trash, I was able to improve to a pretty decent point (see pictures). So some negatives or things to be aware: 1) the limbs are a little loose in the pockets. They wiggle until you put the bow under tension. Then they seem to be solid. 2) the string is a little cheap. The serving thread compacts and wears quickly such that the place where the arrow nicks gets thin fast. 3) the sight is cheap. It wiggles and shifts, you can't get that out of it, there is just a little vertical play. But hey, at 18m, I was able to get to shooting mostly 10s, 9s and 8s!

I bought this bow to get back into casual target archery, and so far I'm happy with the bow. Note, just the bow. While it's nice that the bow came with a sight, arm guard, finger tab etc. most, if not all of the accessories leave much to be desired. The riser appears to be made of cast aluminum and coated with an enamel paint. For it being cast it still feels pretty solid. The limbs showed no deformation and and are of decent quality. It took me far longer than is necessary to initially string the bow, but that's mainly because I've lost upper body strength due to my own negligence, so that's not a problem with the bow itself. The accessories on the other hand? Garbage. The leather finger tab is too thin to do any serious shooting to protect your fingers for anything more than maybe 50 arrows in one session. And the arm guard is probably the shoddiest piece of safety equipment I have ever seen in my life. For one it's construction is a very cheap nylon and vinyl material and isn't very comfortable. The elastic straps had multiple sewing defects, and it's interaction with the parachute clips was pathetic at best. The only way I could get it to stay on my arm and not constantly shift was to put it on backwards and twist the straps to have any semblance of tension on my left arm. So to fix the issue I made my own traditionally styled leather bracer and a thicker leather finger tab. In conclusion, I think this is a great bow for someone who wants to start getting into archery, and while it is nice that it came with accessories to get started I highly recommend you either buy (or if you have the materials laying around, make) new and better made tabs and guards.

This set is completely unusable. The bow bends sideways when the bowstring is drawn. That means it will break quickly. The sights are wobbly and impossible to fix. The rest of the stuff in the kit is incredibly low quality. The kit did not match the description. Do not buy this kit!

It seems to be sturdily made, but may be a bit too sturdy. It was advertised to be a 30 pound bow and it’s way more than that. Additionally, the arrow rest needs to have Loctite applied because each arrow spend the rest of it has to be tied with every shot. Other than that, it’s an OK bow.

Great overall bow for all adult/ teen users. I broke the wooden top jinx part and need a new one. Dropped off porch and damaged. Hard to find that one piece as the string and bottom curve wood is fine.

Dislike

Good quality for a great price. Was my first bow purchase. And honestly I'm so impressed!
