KESHES Takedown Hunting Recurve Bow and Arrow - 62 Archery Bow for Teens and Adults, 15-60lb Draw Weight - Right and Left Handed, Archery Set Bowstring Arrow Rest Stringer Tool Sight

My wife and I both are avid bow-shooting enthusiasts. We shoot regularly in our back yard, and go to the local park where there is a range shooting up to 60 yards out. My 45 lb bow does pretty well, but the mounts for a sight aren't especially good and I often have to cant the bow via dead reckoning to achieve the distance. My wife also has a 35 lb bow which does not allow for sights - and so she too runs into this issue. Together, we spent well over $500 on our bows, and those didn't include sights.We took this bow out today to shoot to test it out. At the 20, 30, and then the 40 yard range. Here are some of our impressions:- Make absolutely sure you take the bow in to get nocked at a pro shop. You will thank me later. It not only makes shooting the bow easier, but it also make it safer to fire.- The brace height is approximately 7.4 inches as it's base install ( you can increase this by adding more twists to the top of your string ).- This bow LOVES carbon fiber arrows with feather fletches. Don't buy cheap arrows with plastic "toy" fletches - you won't get accuracy ).- With a standard .35 grain field tips - the bow has pretty decent stopping power. This is enough to deploy on most situations and get your arrows stuck into wood requiring some force to pull them out. If you want to shoot at a longer range, lighter arrows will achieve this, but we didn't test them out )- The arrow rest is ok, but without the string properly nocked, we lost several feathers. This is due to either the arrow making too much contact with the bow during flight ( you can use baby powder to check for contact ), or our arrows need to be re-fletched. I'm sure it's a combination of both heavily leaning on the latter, so I won't fault the bow. My wife might opt to remove this entirely and use a felt or horse hair arrow rest - which may smoothen the flight. Since we shoot with feather fletched arrows - this is ideal.- The draw is smooth and we were able to achieve good accuracy with the bow. Most people who experience bad accuracy are shooting incorrectly ( don't grip the handle! Cradle it so that it moves freely.- Breaking down the bow is easy, and we are super glad this came with a stringer.- The sights are easy to manage and for all practical purposes are great. We will in all likelihood mark the locations of the sights so that we can adjust for distance on the fly. I was able to achieve a 14 inch pattern at 20 yards without the use of proper nocks. This wasn't necessarily easy, but it speaks a lot about how "complete" the bow is. My wife enjoys it and was able to achieve a slightly larger pattern, but like me - really wants to nock the string asap to ensure a proper alignment of the arrow on each flight. We love the bow, and it's a great novice-intermediate bow for someone who is moving up from a youth bow and into something with a little more punch without getting punched in the wallet.

I loved archery, as a kid. Launching an arrow straight up, realizing what a bad idea that was; running in abject terror. Good times. Now that I'm older and sometimes wiser, I wanted to take the hobby back up, and share it with my kids. I purchased this bow, and it is incredible fun.The riser is really beautiful wood, and the finish is flawless. The thumbscrews for the limbs make setup and takedown easy, yet the hold the limbs in a rock solid manner. The bow stringer included makes setup easy and uneventful... Well, after I broke down and actually read the instructions. The bow sight is super easy to use (Just move the sight towards where the arrows group until they all go in the middle), and removes with a thumbscrew for ease of storage. The arrow rest is a cheap stick on plastic bit (The riser has a standard fitting for fancy rests), but I'll be darned if it doesn't work just fine. The only things you need are arrows, and whatever nocks you want for the string, to get going.The bow is a joy to use - very light, but rock solid. I got the 35lb draw weight for targets, and so the kiddos could use it. The draw is smooth and effortless. The draw seems to be ~29 inches, but if your offspring's arms aren't that long, it still works excellent. Really drills the arrows in, and for thirty yard practice, it pretty much shoots flat. I was surprised how easy it was to get great groupings. It's also pretty quiet without string silencers - No buzzing or other odd sounds that certain bows make.Broken down, the bow is super easy to transport. I also like that all the fittings for accessories like the sight, arrow rest, stabilizer are all standard. If you care to, you could really trick the bow out, but I've found all the included accessories work perfectly well.All in all, it is a solid bow that punches well above its weight in value and looks great.Update: Bow continues to impress - I keep getting better and better with it (Clearly, the bow is more accurate than I am). Waxed the string, added to otter string silencers (also found out otters are apparently delightfully fluffy), and it is ridiculously silent now. I pick it up and use it in the yard way more than I thought. No wear on the string.

I am a newbie to archery but will compare the bow to one that we recently purchased for our daughter that we bought from an archery store in Oregon. The Keshes bow is as nice or nicer than the store-bought bow costing much more and included a stringer, arrow rest, and sight that we had to pay extra for at the store. I was able to look up online how to set up the nock and will be doing that before hitting the range. We will probably go to an indoor range to take a lesson or two before going out on our own and I will have my bow setup checked. As others have said, the limbs fit well onto the riser. The brackets that hold the limbs are made of plastic but I do not see/expect durability issues. The finish on the riser is actually nicer than the finish on the store-bought bow. Again it's nice to have all the accessories needed to get started. If I were doing this again, I would buy feathered arrows based on some of the other reviews. It would be nice if Keshes sold extra limbs separately so I could work my way up to heavier draw weights.

Not had the chance yet to use it fully and the arrows I brought (cheap and cheerful ) are not doing the bow justice. I brought the 30 lb pull but now think I should have gone for the 35 lb but all in all well pleased. I would be also grateful for information where to get accessories for this bow.

This Bow is very well made and actually quite powerful. My daughter is really enjoying practicing with it. I would say I wish the assembly instructions were a bit less confusing with maybe more diagrams. But we got it eventually and it was well worth it!

Good quality beginners bow at a reasonable price. Just started out this hobby with my Scout Group and decided to buy some of my own kit. Good communications from the company, and decent quality item for the cost. Would recommend.

Product is not good quality.

Fantastic bow arrow rest not so good and cheap and the sting is poorly made so i replaced and now a fantastic bow

Very nice bow. Thanks for your time.

I got it for a Larp event and I love it great item and the aftercare of the seller was on point

this was exactly what i wanted and it is brilliant thank you Keshes

I purchased this Bow because, it is very similar to my other Recurve Bows but with a lower Draw Weight. I was impressed with the quality of construction, and a number great included extras such as bow site, bow stringer and extremely clear and easy to follow assembly instructions. This is a well built, solid bow at a fair and competitive price. Very Pleased with this purchase. Would recommend.

We'll put together bow. Nice finish and feel.Bought this in 40# because I am an experienced shooter. The description says it's a 29" draw length but with 40lb limbs mine pulls 51lbs at 29". If you have a longer draw length order lighter limbs. Or better yet do what I should have done and GO TO A ARCHERY SHOP and get fitted properly. You will probably end up spending less money if you need the full package.

Beautiful bow, easy installation. My 10 yro did it on his own.had a little issue with the bow, but the service team tried the greatest effort to meet my satisfaction.

I love shooting this bow as I wanted to learn instinctive shooting. Its nice and simple I omitted the sight incuded and added an arrow rest. Lori at Keshes helped me get a lower lb. set of limbs to make practise time longer ! would recomend to anyone. Shawn H

It's an ok bow for the cash but there is better out there. It came with a string that was too short. Not cool.

Bought the 40 pounds bow, nice product (but should have bought the 30 lbs, since we are a family of beginners 40 is a bit heavy, but that is on me).

This is a good bow, easy to put together, and looks very nice. The sight that came with the bow is of cheap quality and broke when I installed it. I will have to buy another sight sometime soon.
