TOPARCHERY Archery 57" Takedown Youth Recurve Bow and Arrow Set Long Bow Kit with 6pcs Fiberglass Arrows for Beginner Teenagers Right Left Hand Black - Draw Weight 20lbs- 40lbs

I bought this Archery Kit for training and it does just that. I feel like the bow is a bit under powered but I didn't buy it to hunt. It's made from a durable polymer plastic similar to a handgun polymer grip and a sturdy fiberglass. The arrows are cheap but usable, the accessories were an ok bonus but they only one I will use is the wrist guard. It came with a bow stringer but it's a light weight bow so it's not needed. The finger guard was a complete waste of material. It doesn't protect fingers very well. Everything fit snuggly together and the few test shots went flawlessly. I will be putting it through a real test over the coming weekend and I will update my review if anything changes. My only real issue was the packaging. The broadheads that were sent had their package severed in half to fit them into the box. I understand having to fit them into the box but the part I didn't like was that 3 of the six broad heads were just loose inside the box separated from their package. Luckily nothing had been damaged by the razor sharp heads. A simple piece of tape can prevent this issue from ever arising again. Someone more eager may have injured themselves opening the box if they didn't notice the loose broadheads. I recommend this product to anyone just starting out in archery.

So much to like about this. Easy to put together, just 2 bolts and the string. The arrows were really descent too. I bought arrows before at a super center store and they all broke the first day (and they were $2 a piece). All these arrows survived the day!!!! I took a pic too so you could see. I love how the tips unscrew and you can put the real sharp tips on. So much fun to practice with. It includes colorful paper targets too. The accuracy was off, but that is probably on us:-) Trust you found this review honest and helpful:-)

It would have been a great buy for this bow if it came with instructions and string. Bought as a gift

I’m reviewing this recurve bow as a practice bow for youth not adults. Yes for the price I would say that this is a decent starter bow for youth. I got this for my 12 year old and it fits him well. I got it in the 40 lb draw which was the highest they had and it’s good for his strength. I tested this bow out myself to see what I thought of it before handing it over. I found one major issue that I will fix as I think others should do the same. The string has no nocks. The purpose of the nocks on the bow string is to give you a precision placement of your arrow. Now this is something that can be purchased and no it’s not expensive at all. Maybe a few bucks. But it’s a must if you want my opinion. That will give the person a good shot each and every time. Without the nocks your arrow can be angled which will cause missed shots every time. Now this bow does come in pieces as you can see from my photos. I took a picture of what everything looked like right out of the box. Now don’t let that discourage anyone because even though this did not come with any directions it is simple to put together. Only takes a few minutes. The string is not hard to put on either. I just put the upper limb on the floor and added some pressure to bend the limbs over to get the string in the groove of the lower limb. It didn’t take a lot of strength. The string does stay in the grooves. The string also has the serving on it. Just not the nock like I already stated. The handle is comfortable and the arrow rest of course is built into the bow. This did come with some arrows which is decent for practicing. They shoot straight. There was a finger guard and arm guard included with this bow. The finger guard I think is useless but the arm guard is ok and will do a good job protecting my sons wrist. He is a beginner so he definitely needs to be protected from the string. There was also some broad heads included with this. I have t used them and I’m not sure of the grain so I can’t really give a good opinion on those. My son only needs to use the practice points on his arrows. All in all I believe this is a great starter bow for youth. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to get their child into archery. I hope that you found this review helpful and if so it would be awesome if you could tap that helpful icon below. Thank you so much.

The bow itself is decent, so far. Haven’t shot much so we will update as time goes on. The other items that come with the bow are very cheap in quality and not worth the extra $20-$30 added onto the price point. You’d be doing better to buy the bow by itself and then purchase your own arrows and accessories.

No instructions. No marked top or bottom. Disaster

A very solid bow. Well constructed and simple to assemble, even without instructions. I really liked the left/right hand functionality. I bought a bow a couple of weeks ago to take my grandson out to introduce him to shooting, forgot he is left-handed. This bow resolved that issue. The arrows are nothing fancy, but perfectly useable for target shooting. The broadhead tips are razor sharp, and since we only intend to use the bow for target shooting, will probably not get a lot of use. The wrist protector works beautifully, but the finger protector was kinda useless (we both got blisters on our shooting hand index fingers). Other than that I was pretty impressed with the bow. Nothing fancy, but perfectly functional. I recommend the bow for beginner and intermediate shooters, a nice bow to learn on. A very nice form of exercise and family bonding. It can be quite a fun workout.

This kit is clearly aimed at beginners/youth. It comes with everything you'll need to get started. While the bow is great, the included accessories, in my opinion, are cheap and not worth the extra cost. Though it doesn't come with any instructions, assembly is straight forward and easy. Overall, if you're just getting into archery, this bow is totally sufficient. Though they work, you might find yourself wanting better arrows once you start getting a bit better. Still, great bow to get you started.
