I bought the 16.4" compound/recurve and the mid size compound. Obviously these aren't made to be serious bows, they are fidget toys that look nice and actually function. That said, there are no "compound" actions on any of them by common definition. A compound bow has eccentric pulleys or cams to reduce the effort needed to hold the bow at full draw. These bows have concentric pulleys so while that changes the action and draw weight there is no "let-off" at full draw.Arrows have no feathers or fletch to spin the arrow and keep flight straight. There is no real rest point for the arrow on the riser so accuracy suffers dramatically. The materials are nice and durable, and they feel solid with real bow string. The arrow spline (stiffness) and weight are not well matched to the bow for good flight.With these issues I still give 5 stars for value since they are fun little models to play and tinker with for few dollars. I enjoy mine.One more thing. For the manufacturer, you're so close to having a miniature bow that actually performs like it should. A matched arrow with fletching, cams or concentric Wheels, and a rest for the shaft that does not deflect the flight and these things would be incredible. I would easily pay twice as much for that.

Get the biggest one. Little thing works, better to make your own arrows, lighter. Its a lot of fabrication for a cheap thing like this. So its cool for the price, but get the bigest one it will be much more fun and less of a toy feeling.

This is a great little mini bow. Very powerful. When I gave it to my husband on christmas, it only took him 5 minutes and one try to accidentally shoot one of the arrows directly into my tv screen. Went right in, no problem. Ladies, if you get this for your husband, send him outside with it.

These are all over the place, and just took a chance on this one. I like it. It's what I expected, and functions pretty good. Not for precision or power, but it's potentially dangerous, and a lot of serious (careful) play.

I bought this item for my husband so him and the children could play in the backyard thought we could puncture some cardboard and maybe some other things along those lines the item was made very poorly and very cheaply it was made to be broken so you have to purchase it again totally dissatisfied without everything is a throwaway item these days nothing is made to last there's no integrity behind anybody's products anymore

Absolutely love this little thing. It really works once you figure out your finger placements and such. I played for an hour with a bunch of old timers at the Legion with this and another version. We all had so much fun. One used to be a machinist and commented on the quality of the work on it, he didn't have much to say, which is a good thing as it means he didn't find problems with it in the short time he played with it.

Son is excited to use it and it seems cool. Pictures show that it comes with arrow nocks but the one we received didn’t have any which makes it hard to shoot the arrows.

Purchased as a gift for the most amazing human ever. I would have returned it but I didn't have time to get a new gift in time. I don't know how or if it works. It looked as I thought it would but I must have missed the fine print because I believed it came with a case. I am big on presentation, I can't speak of it's quality as of yet, I leave this review because the delivery and presentation was disappointing. Yes, I agree you get what you pay for and its not such a hefty price but presentation matters. Don't advertise a case but send it out in a sandwich bag. Just my 2 cents

The bow is built well , definitely sturdy and I see it lasting years, unfortunately the arrows are crap, I guess I’ll cut down some of my full length ones and use those. Other than that, happy with purchase
