3.0 out of 5 stars Why engineer in a weak point?, August 28, 2010

This product is an example of a good design with a weak component. The weak point is a polymeric arrow rest which is held to the bow with double sticky tape. After having the arrow rest fly off with the arrow on every shot, I drilled and tapped the bow for two 4-40 machine screws and screwed the arrow rest to the bow. Great fix! The product now works as it should. Why designers come up with a well designed product then stick on an arrow rest with tape is beyond me. Seems like an afterthought. The product would be greatly improved if the arrow rest were fixed to the bow with screws or some type of snap fastener.

Very simple yet effective design. My 10 year old son was very happy when he opened this present at his birthday. He was overjoyed the first time he used it, now it has become a daily thing for him. Very easy to use, just make sure your child understands that this is still a deadly weapon, and all should go well. Came with a grip for left handed users, not important to us but great for those that need it. For the price I couldn't find anything better, extremely happy with the purchase!

My 10-year old son got interested in archery and didn't want a cheap toy. He searched on Amazon and read all the reviews of all options, eventually he settled on this one.I ordered it for him and he was thrilled. The length is just right for him -- big enough to make him (5 feet) feel powerful, but not too big to handle. I am impressed with the quality of this bow too.
