4.0 out of 5 stars A great gift of a 12 year old
I am not an expert in archery by any means, but this bow works very well for its realtively small price. It does take some strenth to pull the bow to the point where the tension releases, but my son got that part under control after some practice.

Like most sets, the arrows are not the greatest. They did not last long. Buy a dozen decent arrows and a cube...

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a real bow.
If you're a bow hunter buying this for your kid's first bow, it's not a good choice. It has a smooth rounded shelf with no hole to mount an arrow rest. I found a stick on tab (my son's left handed so it was a challenge) that holds the arrow a little better than the bare shelf. The bow has no string with serving, just the cable that's too small for the nock to firmly...

Like most sets, the arrows are not the greatest. They did not last long. Buy a dozen decent arrows and a cube target on Amazon or from you local big hunting store when they are on sale.

Obviously, this is a dangerous item. You can overshoot a target by 50 feet, so be in the open and under parental control at all times.

Bought this for my daughter, but didn't realize it would be too hard for her to pull back. So Husband is enjoying it. Now I have to get a different one for our daughter. Oh Well. Definately would recommend for a stronger child or yound adult.

Great bow, but the arrows broke within a week taking them out of the target pad. So have lots of spares. But I got the bow for my wife and she loves it. She's a small lady and the pull is perfect for her.

I'm stuck with this item that they sent. Ignoring any complaints to rectify this. Not able to contact amazon about this. I wondered why I didn't like dealing with amazon. Now I remmember. Minimum wage programming morons programming this site.
