70" Takedown Recurve Bow Adult Archery Competition Athletic Bow Weights 14-40 LB Right Handed Archery Kit for Outdoor Training Hunting Shooting

Very, very pleased with this bow. Took over a month to get to me as it's shipped from China and as it was the Xmas season got held up in both Chinese customs as well as American customs in Chicago for a long time. The bow is very well crafted and shoots well. After all.......the bow is not the reason a person shoots well or poorly. It does the job! The finish is not fine, but the price is very low. If you like a highly polished finish you can do that much yourself. The wood is exotic and lovely to look at. This bow is a bargain at the price.

I've had a long love of archery, having been exposed to it in High School PE and taken a college course to develop basic proficiency many years ago, and occasionally shooting while accompanying my children to scout camps over the years. With the CoViD-19 lockdown I thought it would be a nice de-stressor to do a little backyard archery. Being 6'4" (draw length about 30.5") and definitely not in great shape, I opted for this 70" bow with the 28lb draw weight limbs.The bow is nice for the price. The finish on the riser is ok - one layer of the wood on mine is a little rough, but the grip is comfortable in my fairly large hands. It feels sturdy and draws smoothly. The included arrow rest, string, and nocking points are sufficient for setting up the bow and getting started. It shoots nice and at ranges of 10-20 yards It performs consistently and is a lot of fun to shoot. I have not yet tried it at longer ranges, but expect it will perform similarly at 30-40 yards once I have a chance to get it to a range.The bow stringer is very nice and works great for stringing and unstringing the bow.The finger tab is the bare minimum in finger protection. Even at this low draw weight I found my fingers barking after a shooting session. It is thin and a single layer of leather. I highly suggest picking up a better tab or glove if you plan on shooting for any period of time.The sight is sufficient and functional. However, I find that after 20-30 arrows the elevation adjustment screw comes loose and suddenly I find myself shooting high because the sight dropped a few notches. Additionally, the mounting screws tend to come loose over time. But as an entry level sight for learning how to use and adjust a sight it serves the purpose.I actually really like the arm guard - perhaps since lately I've been using cub scout size guards. It has elastic and plastic clasps that make adjustment and putting it on/taking it off a snap.I like that there are limbs available in draw weights up to 40 lbs. I can see myself moving up in weight over time and it is nice to know I have that option.Edit: Limbs don't appear to be available anymore...In short, a very nice first bow for a beginning to intermediate archer at a very reasonable price.

Nice looking bow, well made. The string mine came with was very difficult to put on and seemed dry so I bought a new one and it's great.

I have many bows, have been doing archery for many years, I was looking for a light draw weight bow to work on my form. I purchased the SinoArt 70" in 26# after watching a NUSensei video on the advantages of using a low draw weight bow. At such a low cost, I did not expect much from this purchase but I was willing to take a chance. This bow kit is amazing, the bow is a long Samick Sage, at 70 inches vs 62 inches for the Samick. I am very pleased at the performance of the bow, exactly what I was looking for without having to spend more money than needed. My best bow is a Hoyt Satori with carbon limbs, and I have many others in between. This bow will be my short distance training bow to work on my form. A great bow at a fantastic priceBert

*** BE AWARE *** that many of the reviews here on Amazon concern an older bow, NOT this one currently on offer. They are NOT the same bow. From constructional details it's pretty obvious that they are from different manufacturers (though of course SinoArt is the vendor of both). The big switch seems to have happened in very early 2021 - bows before that were by one manufacturer, and after that, they came out of a different factory. The old bow is easily identified as it has a broad brown strip arcing through the riser. I have attached one of the illustrations of this older bow.I bought one of the SinoArt 70" recurves two years ago (so, the old version). It was (and still is) a pretty good bow. The limbs were a tad loose in the plastic sockets on the ends of the riser, but this caused no real difficulty. I also bought a second pair of limbs (40 lbs vs. the original 32 lbs). These were also a bit loose but not enough to be a problem.I just bought one of the current offering (the new version), in 36 pounds. I classify it as nominally the same bow, since when I click on the bow I bought two years ago in the "Your Orders" page in my Amazon history, it goes to this page. So, it should be pretty much the same bow, right? The 70" SinoArt Recurve - hard to confuse with anything else. But the current offering looks different, most obviously in the color and construction pattern of the riser. So what? The color of the riser shouldn't be a big deal. Unfortunately, there are other differences, some of them very bad.The new riser is a bit fatter in the grip and the finish is a bit less slick compared to the old one. These are not problems; if anything, they're improvements. The hardware around the attaching bolts is a bit different but seems to work much the same. The new limbs are a bit wider, but only by about .012", which one wouldn't think would be a problem, particularly considering the somewhat loose fit of the limbs in the sockets of the older bow.BUT the plastic end sockets on the new version, the black bits on the ends which locate and clamp the limbs, are not good. They are much more crudely molded than the old ones, and are far too tight for the limbs. They're too tight for the older, slightly narrower, limbs as well. By "too tight" I mean this bow CANNOT BE ASSEMBLED WITHOUT TOOLS to squash the limbs into the proper position in the badly molded and finished sockets. I'm sure it could be done with clamps, a vise, or a press; or, for that matter, a hammer. But that's not how takedown bows are supposed to work. I have four other modestly priced Chinese takedown recurve bows lying around, of various makes, and none of them have limbs which aren't easily assembled by hand. Limb assembly is not normally a problem. But it is a fatal flaw on this bow.The old version of this bow was fine. The new version cannot be recommended.
