Not the best, but damn good for the money! I'd buy this one over anything else in the sub $150 price range. I am a complete beginner at archery but wanted my own bow to learn on and practice with.I got the very lightest (25#) so I can learn correct form and use some cheaper arrows that specify 'not for use in bows over 30#' also because if and when I want to move up to a higher poundage, this bow can swap different parts so I don't have to buy a whole new bow entirely.

It arrived in a long box and all the pieces were wrapped up safely. I was slightly confused how to put it all together but there was a small instruction page. It did suggest I buy a special tool to help me string the bow but I ended up watching a YouTube tutorial and did it myself.

The bow itself is gorgeous. Beautifully made with markings on the bow to indicate size and pounds.
