66" Metal Riser Takedown Recurve Bow Adult Archery Competition Athletic Bow Weights 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 36 LB Right Handed Archery Kit

I originally bought a very similar SAS-brand bow. It was a fine bow but I returned it for one reason: a very uncomfortable, sharp-cornered grip (a fault pointed out by several reviewers). You're going to be shooting a bow over and over again; a bad grip is a major issue. (See photos for details.) I ordered this bow because it was similar in nature and price and specifically advertised an improved, comfortable grip. They are correct. The slightly-rounded grip corner makes all the difference. In my younger years I shot the semi-pro archery circuit, every day. Just getting back in to it as a hobby. This is an excellent purchase on a target bow. Although it's not a "pro-class" bow (ie, $600+) you could easily use this for the semi-pro competition circuit; nothing wrong with the bow itself. For absolute beginners I recommend a draw weight from 22 to 26 lbs. For those with some archery experience and have developed their back muscles for drawing, 30 to 35 lbs would probably be ideal (the "Olympics" draw weight). Likely for most casual / fun adult users, 26lbs will work just about right. Here's my take on this bow set: PROS: * Good, light-weight riser * Comfortable grip (very important) * Quality limbs (especially at this price range, currently about $120. If that price goes up... the value per dollar goes down) * Three types of arrow rest-- screw-in, standard "finger" rest and flat-to-bow shelf. I recommend the screw-in. * Decent quality string. Be sure to twist it 12 to 15 times before stringing up the bow for increased action and consistency. * Superior-design bow stringer * Excellent bow-sight (if you decide to use a sight. There's lots to be said for instinctive non-sight shooting). * All the accessories, including arm guard, finger guard and nocks. For beginners: mount the nock about 1/4" to 1/2" above the top of where the arrow would sit if exact 90 degrees to the string. The arrow notches under the nock and needs some vertical room for flex. CONS: * No instructions-- so I've included a (very amateur) video on how to string the bow. There are no warnings about what can happen if you don't use the stringer. (Use the stringer! Always.) There's no information on how to set up the bow, hold the bow, properly use the arm guard and finger protector-- not even a sheet leading to a web site explaining such things. I could find no website for SinoArt itself, much less an instruction page. (If anybody finds one, please post for benefit of those just starting out.) * No locking nut on the screw-in arrow rest. (Fortunately I already had one.) That said, the seller is one of the most supportive and friendly I have come across. I contacted them via Amazon and they were bend-over-backward customer-friendly. 5-star+ feedback on that. At this price-- this is a good-quality entry-level bow. It feels good, fires well and will likely hold up for years. Be sure to un-string it when not in use (the limbs are partially wood and wood can always weaken if left strung over long periods of time). I recommend *not* breaking it down between uses (better consistency), but that's up to the individual, depending on transportation needs. For out-of-the-box usability and a comfy grip on a startup bow, I'm very happy with this. Photos and a brief essential-instruction video is enclosed. Do remember to twist the string prior to stringing it up; it provides for much better accuracy and shooting experience.

Excellent quality, very well made. The center shot is right on point no adjustments needed, serious bang for your buck $104.

Surprisingly good deal for a beginner bow. Off the top, the bow looks great. And it seriously comes with everything you need to shoot except target, arrows and quiver. It is ready to receive a stabilizer, and properly drilled for a sight and plunger. Even a clicker. The stringer is functional, as are the tab and arm guard. I haven't shot enough arrows to know how the string will hold up. I believe it's Dacron B-50, so I'm not too worried about stretching. The bow is fairly easy to set up, although I did have to read the instructions to figure out the sight, which came in several pieces. I chose this bow and not a cheaper one because it is reasonably close to an Olympic recurve in overall length and weight. The entire bow cost less than the limbs cost for my expensive bow. While I would not really recommend this bow for serious competition or even hunting, it is perfect for practice. I've paid more for bows that didn't shoot as well and left a welt on my arm to boot. This bow works. I'd recommend for teens and up. Choose under 30lb for indoor shooting (24 or 26 for beginner) and 30 lbs and up for outdoor target shooting. I picked 36 lbs to make sure I can get out to 60 yards. This bow seems to prefer carbon arrows, but you know, whatever you got will work as long as it isn't too stiff or too flexy. The only downside to this bow is the limbs aren't ILF, which means the brace height is tricky to adjust. Overall, for the price, it's a great deal.

This is my second Sinoart bow within a month. They both are great quality and bang for the buck. I also got the 66" metal riser recurve both are good shooters. The falcon is more a hunting style recurve and looks sweet. Fit and finish is remarkable for under $100 bows. I'm impressed and don't see why to spend more money on something else. Give Sinoart a try. Update: I was having cracking noises from my limbs. One broke. I contacted Sinoart via email on the first of January telling them about the problem and requested a set of replacement limbs. I haven't heard from them at all. So if Sinoart reads these reviews, please send me a set of 30# limbs for my 60" Falcon please. I would really like to get back shooting it.

I just received my bow today. This bow seems to be of very good quality, the fit and finish are very nice and the blue looks awesome! I had a little trouble stringing it and the stringer actually broke on me but I was able to get it done. Once it was together I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it is for the price. It’s light and balanced and as mentioned above, it looks very good. I’ll get the chance to shoot it tomorrow and I’m looking very forward to that. Im a beginner only having fired someone else’s bow a few times. The one I used before was a bear recurve with a single cam, it was too big for me. Too much draw weight and length. My new bow feels much better. The weight is far better for targets and the draw length seems good as well. Out of the box the sight isn’t attached, so that will probably take a good bit to sight in and get it where I need it. That said, it should be pretty enjoyable to do that. Very happy with the purchase, great price.

This is the first bow I’ve ever owned. I just recently got into archery and ended up going with this bow because they had a left handed version and all the previous reviews looked good. No complaints about the bow and it shoots just how I want it. For a beginner, this bow is perfect and there’s many options for attaching accessories like arrow rests, sights, stabilizers. So even if you go get pretty good and want to start accessorizing, this bow can do all that. Customer service is also amazing for those that will reach out to them in the future. I had a problem with my limbs and they got back to me promptly and are going to issue me new limbs. If you’re a beginner or intermediate archer, I think this bow will be just right for you without breaking the bank. I shoot with an arrow rest but I’ve seen a lot of people have luck shooting off the shelf with this bow. All the accessories are a plus as well, although, all I used in the set was the rest and bow stringer. But hey, the other items may come handy in the future.

sight wont tighten horizontally because the nut doesn't thread properly... Now I have to buy a new sight. Also the bow grip came with some marks as if it were used. There's also some scratches of the paint on the limb tighteners but it could be from shipping.

I like the looks of the bow as it reminded me of my Hoyt Gamemaster. This was a complete failure. I think I got a defective bow. With years of experience, placed the nock on perfectly, bought new carbon 500 spine arrows and went out to have a great afternoon of enjoyment. Perfect weather temperature, no wind, then the unexpected happened. I couldn't hit the target at 10 yards! After a half dozen attempts of hitting the ground 2-3 feet left of the target, disappointment set in. I really hope I had a terrible manufactured bow. Hope no one else has to go through what I went through. Sorry, thumbs down on this back product. :-(
