Outstanding quality. This bow is perfect for beginners and experts alike. Ordered on Dec. 28th and received Jan 3rd. The bow is a little heavier than expected, but then again I’m new to compound bows. The cables are sturdy and the cams are made of metal as well. Very well-built. The accessories that come with the package are great for starters. Recommend buying a wrist release that has a trigger. This package does not come with that. Admire it all you like when you remove it from the box, and install the accessories, but PLEASE take it to a sporting goods store with a bow shop to have it tuned before firing. The draw weight must be modified to match your personal arm & shoulder strength so that you can draw comfortably. Not doing so can result in damaging your bow, or injuring yourself. To give a ballpark reference on the cost of tuning, Dick’s Sporting Goods will set the bow up for $15. Custom-tuning the bow to YOU is another $15. $30 in total. Not bad at all. Highly recommend this product!

I cant give it a full review as I am still setting it up for me. I really like the quality of this bow, I could not draw it back all the way out of the box, made me realize I need to build more arm strength lol. however, I ran the limb bolts all the way in then backed them out 5 full turns and I can just draw it to full draw. directions are pretty good for a first timer, every other part is simple to install. getting excited about learning a new hunting method when I have practiced with it. maybe some lessons wouldnt hurt me.

Works excellent. I got the left handed model and the only things I could complain about is the sight needed a shim to go as far left as I needed and wound up getting in the way of one of the spots on the quiver set at the closer setting. Also the cover for the string guard screws was missing but customer service told me it was for some sort of improvement. Overall setting the sight farther out and getting a shim for the sight solved those problems for me. I thought the rest was missing a screw and customer service sent me a whole rest instead of just telling me it was fine which was cool. Setup for draw length was easy and after getting the rest and d loop square and backing it off from the 70 lbs it was shipped at its shooting great. It’s a bit heavier than some of my buddies Hammyr he picked up for 500 but it shoots just as straight and quiet. I saw some right handed kits that came with arrows and more accessories for around $300 but overall I’m pleased with this purchase at $265.

I don’t normally right good reviews but man this bow shoots perfect I am very green when it comes to archery I ordered this bow to get me ready and to go on my first turkey hunt this spring and this bow shoots flawlessly I have shot a Hoyt that my buddy has and I think this thing actually shoots smoother in my onset opinion. Everything works easy set up I’ve shot over 300 arrows out of this bow the only thing I can say is after the first 150 arrows the tube that connect to the peep sight to keep it straight whe. U draw broke but was able to pull the broken end off and reattach it and it hasn’t let me down yet I’m sited in at 20 yards pretty well and can’t wait to hopefully take a turkey with this bad girl come spring

This is a bow I already own. I just purchased a second one for my son. It’s a great bow. Extremely versatile and easy to set up yourself. For most things, a bow press is not needed. Draw weight and draw length can be set up yourself with very little mechanical ability. Comes with a whisker rest and a 5 pin sight plus a stabilizer. For most bows, those are accessory items. I love this bow.

Great entry-level bow; included quiver sucks and smells badly like cheap rubber

So, im new to archery. I have a little experience with crossbows, but really wanted to have a compound bow. I researched all kinds and didn’t have many options for left handed bows. I figured after all the reviews i read that this would be a good start. It shipped within a week. Came as advertised. Showed my buddies that are into archery and that bow hunt. They all have stated that this is an awesome bow and an even better deal! Honestly i haven’t shot it yet, cuz its only been a few days and i work a lot. Ill update when i do get to target practice and have my more experienced friends try it out. Im sure my updated review will be just as good!

Small scratches specifically on the whisker biscuit, that was set up for a right handed bow, not a left handed bow. This caused setup to be a bit confusing, but I believe I have it figured out. I’m exited to get back into this sport, and believe this is a great start!

Arrived 2 days after being shipped,After looking everything over it took me 20 minutes to completely set it up.I then Took it out to my recurve target rangeAnd in 5 arrows it was sighed in at 20 yards. I need to set up a different target for this bowIt was shooting through the straw bales with the tip of the arrow 3” out the back of the horse stall mat I have hanging as a backstop.With that I tested the draw weight and The bow came pre adjusted to 51.2 pounds.So I am very pleased with what they offer.Especially at the price.

I purchased this bow for my fourteen year old son who was ready to move up from his youth bow. He was very concerned that he would get his arm slapped, but the string stop on the bow works very well.This bow comes with all the bells and whistles of a much more expensive bow. Adjustments are very simple, but you will need a bow square to set the nocking point. The site included is actually really good. I’m really impressed.Highly recommend!

So i gave this bow a few weeksIv used it at different pull/lbAnd iv really gotta say that im truly impressedFurthest iv shot so far is 40 yards so take it for what you want .If u put rugs behind your targets use 3 at least iv lost a few thinking 1 double-side would stop it .Pros.Accurate at 40 yards im using my second sight from the top .( pounds maxed ) That means its got a hell of a distance in its range .Its pretty quiet . Its been mentioned by a few people who’ve witnessed me shoot .Its extremely easy to shoot .with small learning curve .Cons .. none yetBut its still a month n change old … lets see

I’ve never owned a compound bow until now, and I enjoy it very much. My bow is left-handed so I had to invert all the accessories. I took it to Gander Outdoors in my area and a specialist helped set it up for me. The bow draw weight wasn’t between 40-45 lbs out of the box. According to the specialist; it was at a staggering 60 lbs, but she adjusted it with ease. I haven’t dared, nor will I dare, to dry fire this. The specialist said it will indeed mess up the bow. Between arrows, tips, release, target and case, I spent a bit more than I wanted. But after getting home and trying it, I’m more than satisfied. I may likely end up buying another one for my wife, as she has shown some interest in archery as well.
