TOPARCHERY Archery Takedown Recurve Bow Hunting Long Bow Alloy Riser - Right Hand Black - Draw Weight 30lbs 40lbs - with Arrow Sight, Arrow Brush

Revised review now with more experience. I measured draw weight with hand-held scale ( same as sold for luggage) and it was exactly 40 lbs with supplied string. My earlier review mentioned the bad idea of moving the capture rest in front of the riser. These and whisker biscuits should stay behind and close to the riser to minimize inadvertent bow torque effects and reducing time of rest contact during the significant (and variable direction) arrow flex that occurs during firing.The photos just show how the “cock” or index vane must be upright for capture rests so variable knocks are needed in arrows so the slot is parallel to bowstring, 90° from how most arrows are shipped (so cock vane is horizontal, away from riser with traditional rests, magnetic rests, and shelves.)In “Questions” one reviewer said the bowstring supplied is 51” but should be replaced with 53”. BUT, I measured just over 53” on the bow, under tension, with the supplied string. i also successfully tried 55” string to reduce force a little.Remember to twist the bowstring ~6-12 times before stringing, not mentioned in the inadequate instructions. Adding “otter balls” helps silence and smooth twang. I needed to replace the capture rest brushes, which wear. Sometimes SAS offers a whole capture rest for $5, the cheapest way to get 3 new brushes. I replaced sight with 3 pin optic fibre, ~ $12, though many cost much more. (Hint: a drop of bright color on the bow string to visually line up during draw with the sight, arrow or landmark on the riser functions like a “peep.”)Excellent value, less than 1/2 the price of comparable products. I suggest trying to compare with Tophunter bow with same riser but true recurve limbs. (This one is really a takedown long bow, without curvy limbs.) Those reviews say the “30lb” is more like 18 lb. Maybe that’s because of the limbs. I can’t comment on the 30 lb model of this version but 40 lb is accurate.Aug 1, 2021: Still great @ 2 1/2yrs and incredible value as they’ve further reduced to $50.

I’ve been using this bow for a few days now and I’ve easily put about 600 arrows down range with it. It didn’t come with any kind of instructions, but it’s easy enough to assemble. If you’re unsure then there are YouTube videos that explain how to assemble a bow. It’s very sturdy and feels good to shoot. I started getting in a groove with it and ended up splitting a bullseye arrow. It’s a great bow for sure, especially for the price.

Very satisfied with this bow. Strong and accurate. Has to be the best value of any bow I have ever purchased. I would of paid doubled the price and still been satisfied with the price. I shopped around at retail stores and nothing this well made or awesome looking for any where near triple this priced

It has a good grip just make sure two people mount the string over limbs its a little tight for a women with nails.

Missing parts originally.....sent another immediately .... great Bow grest customer service !! Quality is good for the money . Great value on all theor items.

Loving how easy it was to assemble and use.

Really awesome bow to start off on the heavier draw weights.PROS: if assembled and tuned correctly, shots are pretty intense and lethal you can hunt with this if you hunt. It also has various screw in holes to adapt almost about anything, stabilizer; sights; arrow rests and quivers. Easy to disassemble and fit into some backpacks.CONS: its hard to quick fire with this long bow due to the alloy riser not being equal. Depending on the side you shoot.The riser only allows you to fire from one side only. Also that brush it comes with is alright, not great because it damages feathered arrows through time.Also when assembling the bow, the riser might throw you off at first, but its not rocket science to figure out. I have photos to help

Excellent bow, just the right draw weight for learning and experimenting. Disappointed in the complete lack of instructions. There were some safety warnings in Chinese (very helpful — not!) and zero details about how to put the thing together. I had some extra parts I didn’t know what to do with and studied the pictures on the amazon listing to figure out where they went, though I still don’t know what they are for! But I got it to work and it’s a lot of fun. I had a party last weekend and several guests wanted to try it out and had a blast.

Easy set-up. Strings without any effort. Fun to shoot.Comes with a whisker biscuit. All my shots pulled right with the whisker biscuit set up, could not fine adjust for this. Removed the whisker biscuit & accuracy ensued.This is a good starter bow, can’t beat the price. I opted for the ‘30 lb’ bow. A 22 lb draw weight is the highest I could get. This is a 20 lb bow all day long.You will have fun shooting this bow! You will want to upgrade.

Avevo dato 1 stella a questo prodotto, perchè avevo oramai perso le speranze di riceverlo... Ora è arrivato ! Diciamo che per un principiante può essere valido. E' piuttosto pesante e la lega di alluminio di cui è fatto, è piuttosto grossolana e appunto, pesante. E' corredato di istruzioni (non in italiano) e della componentistica per montarlo. Niente di eccezionale, ma per cominciare ci si può accontentare.

Can't go wrong for the price. The 40 pounder is actually challenging to pull back. Seems like a powerful bow. Looks really cool too. I haven't used it yet but there are videos on youtube reviewing it. Thanks

L’arc est correct pour le prix, mais selon moi, sans être un spécialiste du domaine, il y a 2 problèmes à corriger qui ne coûterais pratiquement rien au fabricant. Les problèmes sont les suivants :1. Une fois la corde mis en place, la tension de l’arc est trop faible, pour la rigidité de ses branches. Sans avoir testé sa force, l’arc me paraissait plus faible que mentionné dans la publicité. La surface d’appui des branches sur la poignée (qui sont rectilignes) est trop orientée vers le ventre de l’arc, ce qui a comme conséquence que la tension de l’arc est un peu trop faible. J’ai diminuer cet angle d’environ 3,5 dégrées de chaque coté (avec des ‘shimmes’ en caoutchouc) et ça a amélioré de façon significative la force de l’arc (entre 3 et 5 livres). Si je le pouvais, sans affaiblir le lien de la branche avec la poignée, je diminuerais encore cet angle de quelques degrées.2. L’appui flèche qui est fourni avec l’arc n’est pas adéquat, sa qualité est bien, mais ses ajustements ne permettent pas de le centrer sur l’arc. Considérant que c’est un arc droitier, les ajustements de l’appuie ne permettent pas de le centrer sur l’arc, il reste toujours trop à droite. J’ai changé cet appuie flèche pour un autre de moindre qualité, mais qui peut s’ajuster sur le centre de l’arc : La précision de l’arc en a été grandement améliorée.Ma conclusion est que cet arc pourrait être facilement amélioré par la compagnie qui le produit en lui coûtant moins cher et en étant vraiment meilleur.

Bow feels amazing to shoot, and has a really nice draw, was a small bit confusing getting it all set up since it didn't come with instructions, I've normally got my bows pre built. The weight is nice, the string isnt the best I've seen but it works, probably the best 40lbs bow I have in my collection.
