I’ve recently returned to the sport of archery, and joined a chapter of USA Archery. I decided I’d rather shoot recurve instead of my compound bow (also a Sanlida, their budget compound bows are GREAT), so after getting frustrated with the available loaner bows feeling too small (and never being able to get a consistent draw weight), I turned back to Sanlida and purchased this bow so I’d have one to shoot consistently.I am very pleased with my purchase and my shooting has improved thanks to being able to shoot the same bow consistently. I can set it up and tear it down quickly, and it feels solid. A very good deal for the price range. It’s also a very nice looking bow.The accessories are a bit hit or miss, but they’re essentially free. The bow stringer and quiver are surprisingly high quality for add ins, and the sight is basic but serviceable.I do have three complaints regarding the accessories. Sanlida customer service resolved one of them, so I’m going to keep this a 5 star rating, but be aware of the following:-The arrow rest is bad. It’s flimsy and I sometimes have a hard time keeping the arrows from popping off if the tab grips the nock.-The included tab is also pretty horrendous. I’ve put 100+ shots through mine and it’s barely broken in. Spend a couple bucks on a nicer one at the time of purchase.-The included arrows are great quality for pack in arrows (they’re the same that were included with my compound bow, and I have no complaints) BUT the included arrows with the 70” models are only 30”. That’s not an appropriate length for all but the shortest draws where 70” is a recommended size. My draw is around 31”, meaning that the arrows were unsafe for me to shoot, if not totally unusable. For average draw lengths, this won’t be an issue, they’ll be fine.I knew the last point was a possibility based on other reviews, so I reached out to Sanlida CS when it arrived, and after a few messages they did agree to send me appropriately sized arrows. They shipped them quick, and the replacements were a step or two higher in quality.I am overall very pleased with my experiences with Sanlida’s products, and their customer service made my issue right. For that, this review remains 5 stars, even though I have a few critiques regarding the accessories.I’m already dreaming about putting together an Olympic style recurve when it’s time to move up my draw weight, and Sanlida’s products are on my short list.

Came all ready to go with reasonable instructions and decent components. Arrows aren't well matched to the bow but they'll work to get you started. This is a good bow to start out with. Just be sure to watch some YouTube videos or something to learn about how to get it set up and how to start shooting as a beginner. There's a lot of good stuff out there. Something that doesn't come with the instructions: make sure to twist the string until the distance between the string and the grip (when the bow is strung) matches the recommended distance on their website. Might take 50-70 twists. This really improves the feel of the bow.

I am an archery instructor and needed a recurve bow for practice and also demonstration when I'm teaching and I didn't want to spend a lot of money. I am a small person (4' 10"), so the youth sized bow with the 18 lb. draw weight is perfect for me. I liked that this set came with the accessories that I can not only show to my classes but also learn to use myself. It was nice to have all of these accessories included because I would have spent more money buying them separately. The sight and arrow rests are not top quality, but they are functional. I actually decided to purchase a nicer arrow rest because I don't like the stick-on kind. One of my reasons for buying this bow was that it has the pre-drilled holes to add arrow rests and sights if needed. The wood is very nice and very pretty. The limbs are also very nice and I like that they have the hand-screw bolts and not the kind you have to turn with an allen wrench (another reason I chose this bow over others).It comes with arrows that have screw-in tips which is nice if you need to replace them or change them out. It also comes with a very nice quiver with a belt strap. If you are just looking for a starter bow for a kid or for a smaller adult, this is a good one. If you are a more serious archer, this is a nice bow for a reasonable price, but you might rather go for a more expensive option.

I've shot over 5000 arrows with this bow. It's just great. The string came slightly waxed and after about a month of daily usage I waxed it which greatly increased speed, the ease of draw, & dampened the sound a little. I've traveled with this takedown bow and the set up takes Initially I wasn't going to use the little super rest that came with it, but decided to & it's held up the entire time surprisingly.Of course being a beginner I was mostly drawn to the appearance & price which is both beautiful & affordable. You can't really beat this kit. The arrows are even quite good & have lasted although many of the vanes have holes in them now. For comfort its got some vibration to it, but the riser is so smooth it feels great in the hand. The performance of this bow is great & I don't think anyone would have a problem with this kit. The only problem was I couldn't wait for it to get here which took roughly a week of anticipation
