Topbows Sparrow 54" Traditional Long Bow 20-35LBs Draw Weight One-Piece Longbow Recurve BowRight Hands for Beginner Women Teens

I bought the bow, took it to the archery shop, had some arrows cut, installed a felt rest and installed a nocking point. I bought the 20# version. It is made for women/kids. It worked well, looks nice and should be good enough for a person to get started in archery.

I got this bow to start shooting again after a few shoulder injuries. It was easy to string and after putting some beaver hide string silencers on...it is the lightest and quietest bow I have ever owned. Within a few days I was shooting a group of about 5" at 20 yards. I really wish they made one in 50-55# range...in would buy it in a heartbeat. By far the lightest and quietest recurve I have ever had. Accurate off the shelf. Would highly recommend for someone learning to shoot traditional or anyone that needs something easy enough to shoot but build shoulder strength back up to shoot a heavier bow for hunting. I just hope they make one at 60" or 62" with a heavier pull.

Ed. to say, this is obviously a mistake at wherever it was made. The seller reached out to me right away regarding my comments, that is good enough for me. Other than a welt on my arm from clumsily mishandling the bow with my "wrong" hand and a couple of arrows ruined by my missing the target and hitting the building behind, no harm done.... prev. review: I needed another right handed bow. I ordered a right handed bow. Despite the fact that the listing only offers right handed bows, they sent me a left handed bow. Bogus. That said, the bow is gorgeous, I love that it has no markings on it, it's nice and snappy, and due to an injury, and years of practice, I can shoot left handed ok . So I'll keep it. Just baffled that the switch happened.

A great bow, especially for the price. Unlike most authentic longbows, this has a cutaway shelf like most modern recurve risers. We bought this bow in 35# for my wife to begin archery and for me to begin again, as it's been a long, long time. This has turned out to be a great bow for us and great fun to enjoy a common hobby together. Now that we're hooked, we plan to upgrade to other bows as our skills improve.We're using feather fletched 30", 600 spine arrows with 100 grain field points and they're perfect for this bow.

The bow was scratched up right out of the box and the string was beat up and obviously used! The tiller was also way off! I ordered a 25 pound bow and fortunately I have an accurate scale. About the only thing correct with this bow was the draw weight. At 28” it was just under 25 pounds which was close enough. The weird part is there were NO MARKINGS of any kind! No company logo, no model info, and no draw weight marked anywhere on the bow! With the scratches and no markings of any kind it looked like a bow that was made in someone’s basement, and not made very well in that basement! Fortunately Amazon made returning it for a full refund as easy as possible.

This bow is being used for larp dueling in the park. 25lb is ample speed to send arrows at your your target quickly and accurately. I had tons of fun with it, the string is fine, the presumably fake hair-rest looks decent and I appreciate that it was included, if you are considering this bow, highly recommend it for larping or backyard target shooting.

I bought this bow for teaching archery and it is perfect! It is great for people under 5'6" I'd say. I'm 5'8" and I can shoot it but it is maxing it out pretty hard, still, my shooting it doesn't seem to be hurting the bow and I love shooting it as a warmup before picking up my heavier bow.It fits very well in the hand, is light and nimble, fires arrows quickly and accurately.I recommend the MS Jummper 700 spine carbon arrows with this, they are a fast little arrow at a good price and pair well with this bow.

A well made, well thought out bow. The design reminds me of several youth bows I’ve seen, starting with the 1970s-era Bear Cub. The choice of woods is attractive and the rest is nicely crowned. It’s advertised as coming with a stick-hair rest, but that was missing from mine. I used a Bear hair rest I had on hand (see photo) with a 1/8” strip of leather behind it. This provides a single point of contact that allows better arrow flight.This, I think, an excellent choice for a young teen or small adult looking for a traditional bow to learn on. I’d recommend the 20# weight for beginners of any age. It comes with a very nice bow stringer, and I suggest you use it whenever you string or unstrung the bow. While it’s possible to do this without a stringer, the chance of twisting the limbs and ruining the bow is very high if you do it that way.You’ll also need arrows, and for a shooting off the shelf, that means using arrows fletched with feathers. You can use the cheap beginner arrows found in department stores, but if you’re serious about archery I suggest buying a set of Easton Jazz, which can be found at your local shop or various on-line suppliers for around $35/6 plus shipping, or an inexpensive carbon arrow. Last, you’ll need a basic archery tab or glove, to protect your fingers from the string ($10-20) and an arm protector ($10) to protect your arm from string slap while you’re learning to hold the bow.One point to consider: My bow was marked as 20# draw, which I assumed was measured at 28”, the industry standard. But when I measured it, it was closer to 26# at that draw. It turns out that traditional youth bows, like the Bear Cub, were typically weighed at a 24” draw, and that’s how they were marked, e.g., 20#@24”. The makers of this bow have copied some of the classic American designs, but they don’t mark the length. Keep that in mind when you're shopping for a sub-60” lightweight bow.
