Topbows 60" Takedown Longbow Archery Wooden Archery Bow Included Fur Rest Pad Stringer Tool Tab String Nocks Right and Left Hand for Hunting or Target

i wanted a nice inexpensive long bow and thats what i received. it shot well. very accurate. no hand shock. i orderd a 45# bow like my recurve. i found it to be a little stiffer than my recurve, but that may change with time. after about 24 shots the upper limb delaminated. i contacted the seller. they were very polite and responsive. they sent me both limbs as a replacement. i work in manufacturing, and understand not everything is 100 percent. i am very pleased with the bow and the service.

Well, it's a Black Hunter, probably all made from the same manufacturer. Mine came with some glue run-over. SinoArt customer service was very good and offered to have the bow returned, refunded and to re-order. The service rep and I chatted and since everything else about the bow was fine, he suggested trying to remove the glue with hot water. So, using my teapot and a wooden chopstick I was able to remove the glue, cool. Before and after photos uploaded.I received the riser, bow limbs, limb bushings & bolts (black), hex wrench for the bolts, string, 2 nock points for the string (one is a spare), "bear fur" material for the shelf & back plate, and a bow-stringer. Also instruction page on how to assemble the bow. I uploaded photos on how to use the bow-stringer since the page instructions were a bit small for me to see clearly, hope this helps someone else.The Black Hunter logo on mine is very discreet which I love. Using the bow, there are many YouTube reviews and yes, it shoots smoothly and is a good looking bow. Mine came with 40 pound limbs and I plan to use it for 3D archery and maybe hunting. If you are new to traditional archery, get the 30 pound limbs, it will be easier to learn and more enjoyable.All in all, I'm very happy with my purchase. It's new so I can't comment on the durability yet, maybe a year from now.

What some people might not know is that all of these take down bows are manufactured by 4 companies. Three companies in China, and one company in Korea. Then the companies like Samick, Southwest Archery, and JEKOSEN buy the limbs and risers / limb pockets / bolts, ect. from these firms. they assemble a bow package / set. Most bows come with a minimum bow with string. Now almost all of the secondary companies have a deal with the manufacturer to make the risers in special patterns and colors which helps to differentiate the bow that they are selling from the same bow that their competition is selling. This makes sense as if you were selling cars and you deal in Ford's you wouldn't want the Chevy dealer to have a Chevy that looks exactly like your Ford.Now I recently just jumped into archery about 6 weeks ago. At the beginning of the quarantine here. I had shot some archery as a kid, and a little in High School. The last time I shot archery was in 1981. I am 56 years old now and have that middle age spread that most people my age have. Since I have been shooting bow for the last 6 weeks I have been feeling better and have a nice fun little hobby that I can do besides sitting on my butt in front of the computer.I went out and bought a 45 pound Fleetwood Edge. It is a nice bow. Then later I bought a 55 pound Edge. Also a nice bow, but I had spent almost 300 dollars for the 2 bows. So after looking on Amazon and E bay, I have pretty much researched all of the 56 inch to 70 inch takedown bows that are for sale retail.I have even purchased several different bow (mostly in the 62" range) with different poundage limbs. I am currently testing them, comparing them. and making custom bows.OK, sorry I am long winded. I have given you the Paul Harvey story set up and as Paul would say, here is the rest of the story.I have ordered two of this particular bow. I ordered a left hand, and a right hand. What I have learned about this product is that it is every bit as good as the Fleetwood Edge, the Samick Sage, the Oileen, the KTA Knight, the Southwest Archery Eagle Eye, ect.If you are already into Archery and have at least a basic understanding of the arrows you should be using, and how to string a bow along with putting a knock on a string and simple things like that, then I would have to say look no further. This is your bow.This is the only bow, with the Stringer that is leather cupped and decent armguard, 2 extra knocks, and a sight for 99.99. It comes to about 105. with tax, but that was here. Anyway a hundred dollar bow that is just as good as the 149 dollar model.Now I am not comparing this to the ILF bows. ILF bows have limbs that have a slot at the bottom, and also some bows have really custom limbs that bolt on with no limb cups and use guide pins in the risers along with the securing bolts. The ILF and more custom takedown bows usually run more in the 200 dollar and higher ranges, and although I am not directly comparing them to each other, I would shoot this bow against them any day of the week.I hope this review helps. I plan to ad You Tube video and pics soon.

First thing.. this bow is beautiful. I got a little carried away I guess and got the 65lb draw and found that to be just a little heavy so I returned it for an exchange for a lower draw with no issue. Was actually VERY satisfied with how smooth and simple it was even though it was really my mistake.Aside from the bow being beautiful it feels, appears, and handles like it’s very well made and put together. Speaking of which.. putting it together couldn’t be easier, the limbs have the corners tapered off differently and the handle match marks them (if you can match a square to a square and a triangle to a triangle like a toddler… you can’t mess it up, seriously) which is quite nice actually since this is my first longbow and was a little nervous as I didn’t want to mess it up. Makes it almost impossible as I stated though. Which is good. I was happy to see the string silencers and other little goodies in the box. The stringing tool is definitely handy. Seen videos on the step through method but I wouldn’t want to risk damaging the tips of the bow and found the stringing tool not very hard to use therefore… there’s no need to try cutting that corner.All though the draw weight was a little too much for myself the bow still shot very smooth and it felt good. Was still able to get a few accurate shots off before deciding to go for the lower weight. Even though it was a little self disappointment for having to return it for an exchange I really couldn’t be happier with it and look forward to target practice in preparation for my first deer this season. Take on the challenge.
