Apprentice Bow Set.

Durable only thing is the knock will fall off that holds the arrow. Need to super glue it on before it goes flying off. Great value for the money kids first bow great present for Christmas or birthdays and the beginner bow archery set.

If you can get this cheaply it's a great. In a sense that's true of a lot of things, but in this case it's made in a way so as to be able to be very cheap, making it a good, fun starter bow for a young kid who doesn't know if he's interested in archery or not. The rubber finger protectors on the string make it very easy to pull, though they do make proper finger position and release more important in order to get a halfway accurate shot. Just be prepared to buy real arrows if you want them to be able to stick into a target - the included "safety arrows" are blunt and will bounce off of anything more tightly packed than sand or loose straw. If you've got real arrows and a close target (about 10 yards) it's even fun for an adult to play with - and I recommend doing that so you can teach the child how to use this bow specifically. Note: for some reason the arrow rest (a black plastic tab) comes in the bag with the instructions, it's not factory applied, so don't forget to put it on before shooting.

Update: We tried it out Christmas Day. He was still on his pajamas, but wanted to try it. It was cold so he only took 4 shots. He hit the target with all 4. He likes it very much. I tried it out before him to make sure my makeshift target would work. On the first shot the arrow rest came off. I may use gorilla glue or epoxy for it next time. I shot 14 arrows after that and hit the target with all. It was quite windy and the shots weren’t terribly consistent, but I have no training at archery either. Overall I am happy with the purchase and would recommend it for anyone wanted to gauge a beginner’s interest without a huge financial investment. Original review: Bought as a present for my son. It arrived quickly and is just what I was looking for to judge his interest in picking up archery as a hobby. I'll update after he tries it out.

From my son who I bought the bow for: It is easy to pull back. You can pull it to your cheek, but it is very light so you have to aim a little high"

Kid loves it. Easy to pull back but powerful enough to be able to practice.

This is a perfect little starter bow. My six-year-old was so excited to receive it for his birthday. He can easily pull it back although we need to work on his aim he absolutely loves it. Good quality for the price. **Update - after only using this a few times, my son went out to shoot only and they had only shot once when it broke on him. It looks like a piece just broke off. I'd still give it three stars as I am sure this was just a fluke.

I got this bow for my son (8) and daughter (10) a few weeks ago to teach them the basics of archery without moving to a more advanced bow. It has foam rollers for them to use rather than a release like you would use for a compound bow you may use for hunting. So far it holds up well and they are shooting at about 10-15 yards to learn consistency and shooting form. I do think they will move up to a bow with a heavier draw (I believe this one goes from 6-13 lbs) shortly but for $30 and gauging their interest in the sport I thought this would be great. It has certainly met the intentions of what we bought it for. Younger kids could definitely also use this bow as my two are probably on the older side but this was the first bow they learned to shoot with much at home. One downside is that it only comes with two arrows. We were doing a lot of walking back and forth to the target for just two arrows, so I bought three more which works out great. Doing it again, I would probably just buy it all together if anyone is looking for advice. Note that there is no sight or ability to put a sight on this bow but again, this bow seems more introductory to get kids to learn how to pull back and fire arrows than to become a marksman archer. However, for $30 you won't find much downside if you are trying to introduce your kids to archery at a young age.

Bought this for my son, as his sister had a traditional bear (also highly recommended). This thing is a beast for the price. The mounded grips are comfortable and it's plenty powerful for everyday target shooting. Since all the draw work is upfront, I'd recommend this at the 5-6+ year age group. My 4 year old was having a bit of trouble drawing versus the traditional bow.

Es un buen arco parece de juguete, pero no lo es EN ABSOLUTO, con las flechas sin punta que trae puedes penetrar varios pliegues de cartón, si se las cambias se vuelve un arma que puede herir gravemente a alguien, así que hay que tener cuidado al manejarlo, y seguir las reglas básicas de arquería Tiene buena fuerza, en el video estoy tirando desde 14 metros, porque ya no me alcanza el patio, pero fácilmente podrías tirar hasta 17 metros con buena técnica, Trae 2 flechas con punta chata, y muy ligeras, pero sirven para lo que son, si no quieres comprar más, solo no tires a paredes de concreto, ya que aunque son resistentes, tarde o temprano les vas a romper la punta si tiras a cosas muy duras como concreto o metal Lo compre en descuento, costaba cerca de 500 pesos, el precio normal es de 800 creo, pero aun a ese precio vale mucho la pena, recomendadisimo

The compound style with cams (pulleys) has been a great starter bow for our 4 year old grandson. He's really enjoying it and can now manage it on his own. The arrows are fragile, so best used on grass. They break easily if striking a rock or hard surface, like a concrete floor. We ordered a dozen extra arrows as it only comes with two.

Buen arco, ideal para comenzar. vale totalmente por el precio.

Lo compre para mi hijo de 8 años. Es de excelente calidad, durable y seguro. Lo recomiendo mucho

Mi hijo lo usa ya casi desde hace un año, es principiante y los demás niños de su nivel traen arcos similares, cumple con su objetivo, se le cayó el plástico que posiciona las flechas al lanzar porque el pegamento es de mala calidad, al ponerle un mejor pegamento ya no volvió a ocurrir.
