D&Q 52'' Archery Set Adult Beginner Right Handed Bow Takedown Recurve Bow Kit 25Lbs 30Lbs 40Lbs Longbow for Targeting Practice Training

I bought the 30 lb. Bow because it was for my daughter , who I affectionately call Noodle arms.She tore the boxes open and was all happy, but alas! The tips to the arrows were missing!! I rashly sent an email to the buyers for a new one due to missing the tips. Half an hour later, I saw my daughter had dropped the tips on the floor! We immediately steed using them. I did NOT expect that I would receive a new set before I even sent out the return!!I can only say that from our family experience… my wife was shooting like an expert after a few tries, this is great starter kit. No quiver, but that’s okay.My only debate is… do I keep and pay for the new set or return it??

I've had the 30# bow for a while now and just started using it regularly in the last two months. At first I thought it was great, but I have some critiques because as I have improved and grown into this sport I've realized why it is a budget bow.1. The plastic vane arrows don't match well to the bow. You want fletched arrows. They will pass over the shelf, instead of randomly deflecting different directions. A dozen good arrows cost as much as the bow itself.2. The shelf needs felt or fur for the arrows to glide over. If you don't, it works but it will wear down the arrows and marks up the shelf. It's not expensive, but I rather liked it once I did it.3. If you don't like shooting from the shelf, you can get those stick on arrow guides. But it didn't stick well to the plastic and I realized I prefer the shelf anyways.4. You want brass knock clips. I ended up getting the kit with pliers and the brace ruler.5. Your fingers will get sore and blister if you are new to this. I've tried garden gloves, finger savers added to the strings, and finally arrived at a proper archery glove after trying 3 different brands.6. The string is way too short for this bow. Tip to tip this thing is 58" and they give you a 51" string. The brace height of 10" is huge compared to other take down bows I now own, but I think this is why other users complain it lacks power. It's already drawn back and can't full release all of it's energy in the limbs. I restrung it with a 54" string and two things happened. Arrows flew faster and straighter, but hand shock and string vibration became apparent. As of today I no longer notice the shock so I must be adapting to it. I probably need a heavier arrow now.7. I'd say maximum range is around 30 yards for a beginner, with fletched arrows. 40 yards was just too far for me. This bow is pretty accurate at 15 to 20 yards. I added a "T" sight which really helped build confidence.8. I left it outside for a month, in the heat, and noticed that the bow limbs bend to the left a bit. I'm not sure if they warped in the heat or if it's a defect I never noticed when I first started. Doesn't change how the bow works, but it annoys me.UPDATE/EDIT: I discovered the problem with the limbs bending to the left. ACTUALLY, the riser is bending in the middle. I suspect that a combination of heat and not unstringing it did not help. Also, this means it's not really a center shot, but rather the string is offset to the left (RH bow).9. The riser is heavy and fits my XL hands well. But I originally bought it to share with my kids. It's became my bow when I realized they couldn't even grip it. Not a good fit for children or someone with small or slim hands.10. The straight fiberglass limbs do not look like a recurve to me, other than the bend of the tips at the end. I can store the limbs mostly flat.11. I can't confirm if the limbs "stack" or what the actual draw weight is, but it must be around it's rated 30#'s because it's harder to pull than my son's 22# bow. I have also noted that at the end of the draw it takes a little extra effort to reach my full draw length, but I'm getting stronger and my draw is getting smoother and faster to compensate.VERDICT: This bow has a special place in my heart because I am still learning on it. It's imperfections have taught me so much in a short time. I've spent money on arrows and accessories for this bow that are more than the bow itself. I've learned about AMO, hand shock and that I like the shelf with this bow. Using the knowledge I gained from this bow, I bought better quality bows for my kids which they love and I enjoy using too. The bow is also rugged. Drop the bow? Ok. String the bow without a stringer? OK. One great thing about this bow is how well it centers the arrow relative to the string line. My kids bow shoots a bit to the left and I have to adjust my aim, but this riser puts the arrow in the middle. And knowing that I like that, it's a feature that I'll be looking for in my next bow.It's a good budget bow if you are new and not ready to drop $100 to 200 for a bow. But if you get serious, you can still learn on it and figure out what bow you're going to get next. I mean you get the bow and arrows and some other accessories for less than $60.

Ok. bow I recieved the 45# pull and was looking for an easy plunker 25 #. Hard to pull as a 45 without the full gear for proper archery.

I got this as a gift for my nephew. He just started archary in school and took a liking to it. Do to covid a lot of sports have been cancel and this help keep him outdoors.But make sure you have a large enough backyard without neighbours behind you. It is also a good idea to invest in some florescent paint to make it easier in grass or woods.

I'm an experienced archery instructor. I purchased the 25 lb version for indoor practice during the winter months, and for my beginner-level friends to use when visiting the local range.At first I was very pleased with this bow when firing at my indoor 10 yard practice range. The bow was comfy to hold and very smooth to fire. For a 10-yard practice bow I might give this 5 stars. But there are some issues you need to be aware of.CONS:1.No instructions. A beginner's bow should always have basic instructions. Even one sheet of paper would help.2. Tough but poor-quality limbs. The bow does draw at 25 lbs as advertised... but the limbs are structurally weak and lose kinetic energy on release. The included arrows dropped a full 2 feet lower than my other 25 lb bows. It's not at all good for a standard 20 yards; you have to aim considerably ABOVE your target to hit the bullseye. (That said, it does well at 10 yards... an ideal beginner distance.)3. The included 500-spine fiberglass arrows are far too heavy for the 25 lb bow... except at 10 yards.MY SOLUTION TO PROBLEMS 2 & 3: Shoot at 10 yards... or use a 700 spine carbon arrow set instead. I know that entails extra expense, but it's worth it. When I tested this bow using a 700 spine carbon set, it was a pleasure to shoot even at 20 yards. It had a comfortable grip and release and was quite accurate.4. This is a recurve bow. The arrows should be fletched with feathers instead of vanes. Vanes are vinyl and bounce off the shelf of a recurve, which causes them to fly inaccurately. You would be better off to buy a separate bow and your own carbon arrow set properly spined to the bow. (Research before you buy). For a 20-25 lb bow, 700 spine feather-fletched carbon arrows are the way to go. The same goes for the "40 lb) bow, since I expect it to also lose energy when shooting: 700 spine carbon feather arrows.5. The bow does not come with shelf felt, which is very much needed on a shelf bow. So you'll want to purchase either a felt or hair shelf protector (make sure the hair is turned toward the target so the arrow passes over it smoothly).6. The riser on the bow has two screw holes on the right side, apparently for mounting a sight. The seller does not carry a sight for this bow... and even claims "This bow does not have holes on the right side". Yet I'm the customer sitting here looking right at it. So add very poor support to the problems.PROS:1. This is one of the most comfortable bows I have ever shot. That could be partially because of the weaker limbs on the draw, but the hand grip is very comfy as is the release.2. It works very well as a 10 yard practice bow. If you use 700 spine carbon arrows it even shoots well and consistently at 20 yards.3. Accurate. The shelf is very well designed. If you shoot off the shelf and cant the bow a little (tilt it to the right), the arrows fly straight and true. It is well-centered and a pleasure to shoot. You can sight right down the arrow and horizontally hit your target consistently.4. No recoil. Recurves usually don't have much recoil anyway, but with straight fiberglass limbs I expected some. I notice none. It makes for a comfy shoot.If you're looking for an good starter bow for kids to fire at 10 yards and doesn't cost much, this will do fine. It will do even better if you invest in a set of feather-fletched 700 spine carbon arrows and shelf protection.If you're at all serious about good archery, you could pay a bit more and get a far better, high-quality bow. My metal riser OIympic-style 68 inch bow cost me 99 bucks and shoots like a dream. 80 to 120 bucks can buy a whole lot more bow. Avoid bows with solid fiberglass or epoxy limbs. Wood faced by fiberglass is significantly better. (Carbon limbs are great but cost a fortune.) But for the price, this bow will do.All of this said... I do enjoy shooting this bow at my home-made 10 yard indoor range. it helps me keep my shoulders strong and set during winter months when it's too cold to go outside. That's mainly what I bought it for: an indoor practice bow at 10 yards, and it works fine as such. And since I've started using carbon arrows, it shoots fine at the 20 yard range too. I can't say anything bad about its accuracy or consistency-- if you use the right arrows. ; )I'm giving it 3 stars for having weak limbs and coming with arrows totally miss-matched to this type of bow. While I really like it with 700 spine carbon arrows, there are far better bows out there. For a hobby... investing a couple hundred dollars for a quality bow and proper arrow set is not unreasonable. But if you're low on coin, this bow isn't a bad choice.

The arrow knocks do not stay on string. You cannot pull it back unless you hold the arrow.
