All in one archery kit
I've had this for several months and I'm still happy with it. I use it weekly at an indoor range. I bought it after a year of shooting a recurve. It took me a while to adjust the pull force and pull length to my liking but now once in a while I put all 6 arrows in the yellow bulls eye at 20 yards. My only other purchase was reusable targets to replace the disposable targets. This is an adult bow. Adjusting the pull force to the minimum was still too much for my 10-year old grandson to use it.

The bow itself is great... but...
First let me say I like the bow. Functionally there is nothing wrong with it. I took it to a local sport shop and then practiced with it at an archery club nearby, and everyone with a lot more experience with bows thought it was a great buy for the money. I like it, and after setting it up I hit what I'm aiming at. It was shipped fast (with prime) and came double-boxed so it was well insulated from any kind of shipping damage. If I could go back in time with what I know about it now to order this or something else I would still get this. There are a couple of cons though, or at least a few things you might want to know first.First off, I ordered the "Snow Camo" version. It isn't *bad* but it has an almost pinkish hue. It isn't white, which is what I think of when I think of snow. I'm not really happy about that. If I could I would probably order one of the other traditional camo patterns instead. Of everything I could say that you may take as a negative about this bow, this is probably about the worst to me. As I said, it isn't bad, It just kind of annoys me. Also it's purely subjective right?Secondly, I received the incorrect instruction manual. So my manual says its maximum pull weight is 58 lbs, while the sale page says up to 70. 70 is correct and verified with a bow draw scale. Apparently there is a European version of the manual and I got that by mistake. In addition to that minor discrepancy the manual was not AT ALL helpful in putting this thing together. I had to find pictures online of other assembled bows to figure it out. You get several hex bolts and smaller accessory parts that are not labeled or indicated in an exploded view or assembly guide or anything like that. With all the "extras" you get in terms of spare parts it can be confusing to figure out what goes where.Next the sight is pretty nice considering the price I paid for the combo. This may just be me and how I had to set the bow up to fit me, but I had to max the sight out downward on the vertical axis. What I mean is the sight can be moved left /right and up/ down and to not be shooting high I had to move it as far down as it can go in order for my top pin to be on at 20 yards. I wouldn't slight the gear for this necessarily because again it could be just my set up. But the sport shop set the peep sight and draw and all that for me.The wrist trigger you get works well and is comfortable, but the edges of the trigger start to feel sharp against your finger after you shoot it for a while. I hold my finger against the back of the trigger till Im ready to shoot, then I reach forward with my finger to pull the trigger. It isn't so sharp it would cut you, but it can make your skin sensitive after a while. I put some sticky backed felt on the front and back of the trigger, as well as the metal stop the trigger mechanism clicks against when you engage or release it, to reduce noise when I hunt.If you are going to use this bow to hunt, I would recommend wrapping the handle with something like a layer of camo duct tape or medical wrist and ankle wrap just to help keep your hands warm. That metal gets cold after a while. This goes for a lot of bows though, not just this one. A wood grip for this would be an excellent upgrade for the manufacturer to offer I think.The arrows that come with this bow are pretty long. I had to reduce the draw to 24". I had all the practice arrows cut down to match my hunting arrows at the sport shop. If you have a shorter draw like I do, I would recommend you do the same. They took care of it but it was an extra $1.50 per arrow, so for all the arrows it comes with I wound up paying another $48 or so for that service. Still cheaper than buying that many arrows but be prepared. Do not expect these included arrows to shoot like your hunting arrows either. At least compared to mine the practice arrows are a bit heavier even after being cut, so it's best to sight with your good hunting arrows and then kind of guestimate where they land with your sight when you're shooting for fun with these. I just shoot these and aim halfway between sight pins. You'll get a feel for it, but it's better to be set up for a clean shot when you hunt and be a hair off with these.That might seem like a lot of negative but I really do like the bow. The combo is a great deal. You could avoid most of the setup up issues I dealt with just by taking it to a shop to be assembled and tuned. I just wanted to do it myself to learn how to, and get out and shoot. But I do think it is all worth noting. Very solid once it's all set up.

Nice for a starter bow set
The bow has been good so far, I have fired about 120ish arrows thought it without any issues.The instructions for assembly were not great but ok enough. I looked on YouTube for issues.It was easy to follow instructions for setting the draw tension with a archery scale. I had trouble with setting the draw length as one of the set screws were already stripped out and had to use a extraction bit to remove.All of the accessories so far have been fine starter items. I have modified the quiver as the stitching point had it facing down with arrows in it. Everything else has been good. I have already replaced the sight with a better one with better control to fine tune sighting it in.With everything this is a great buy for a starter. It has everything you need to get into archery. It's fine to me having the accessories be cheap that can be easily repalaced/upgraded. The bow has plenty power room to move from a low starting pull up to going hunting. Comparing to a bow my friend had that was twice the price I could not tell the difference.

Parts may be missing
First off it's nice the whole package if you have nothing and are getting started in compound bows this is a great start but.... Parts were missing that they clam it comes with so I don't know if it was miss packing or false advertisement but I was missing 4 parts all together and I looked all in the box and several bags it came in never found any of them so disappointed there but good quality bow the sights need to be dialed in but every arrow comes with a tip so that's nice over all I gave it 4 stars it would have been 5 if they gave me everything I paid for in the kit but it is what it is I guess.

Nothing cheap in this bow!
Very clean manufacturing. Materials look perfectly sturdy and reliable. All parts under tension are made of metal, not plastic.There are some plastic parts but these are all on the clip-on accessories. Plastic feels fine, and there I would not want metal anyhow.This kit comes with 24 carbon arrows, wrenches, multiple spares, what not ...The trigger had a short stem for me, no big deal, will get a longer one.Bottom line is - this bow is better than most shooters, period.You can go hunting or you can stay on targets and adjust to any condition you like.When adjusting the draw - ONLY the bolt turns. The outer ring is basically a big washer. So just put a sticker with some markings as I did.At this price vs. nice quality - no complaints.Oh, but the “Lamborghini”, but the “Ferrari”, but the “Audi” ... yeah ... well ... I got myself a “Subaru” with a trunkfull of spares, so ...
