35 Dollar Bow is it any good?

[@sandramoskwa]

I think it is a good buy at $ 40. I really don’t find it ugly either. I would like it for shooting thumb draw as you can use both sides of the riser. Great starter bow. I recently bought a new PSE recurve that was supposed to be 30 lbs @ 28” and when I checked it on a bow scale it was a disappointing 25.8 lbs. so the Chinese bow is probably within tolerance.

[@DinoPimp]

I'm thinking of getting a couple of these for an indoor archery competition at work.

[@borumfishing]

I have this bow, just for extra fun shooting in the woods, when im not at the club. I personally like it for what it is.

[@water_feind9152]

Bought the bow off Amazon, after a few modifications (new string, felt in the limb rests and string silencers) its actually not too bad.

[@andrewramirez5247]

Could you send a link to the new string you got?

[@boredism1327]

I literally just got this now on Amazon 20lbs I love it .. I use it to shoot targets around the yard

[@joedaniels4646]

I really enjoyed this review, and your humor & honesty. I bought the 40lb version of this bow off of WISH and I love it ... love it so much I got the advanced version of this recurve bow that has an aluminum riser, a whisker basket & one pin sight. I'm enjoying that bow as well. (although the advanced version is not actually a recurve, but a straight pull.) I just started archery at the age of 60 & for an idiot like me, these bows are awesome ... I refuse to pay $399 for a traditional bow at my local Archery shop for something to just fire arrows at a target ... that was the cheapest recurve they sold & when I saw that, I was disgusted and just walked my ass right out the door! I paid $55 for this bow at 40lb with 12 arrows ... the other fancier bow cost me just $61 for just the bow itself ... so for $116 I have two bows to enjoy my new hobby with, and I have to say ... I love them! But I really enjoyed your review & personality in this video! Thank you, even though it's people like me you probably laugh at ... hopefully one day I will be able to shoot these bows as good as you, and then laugh at them as the toys I know they are to guys who are well advanced in Archery! God bless you and your family!

[@3DArchery]

Why would I laugh at you, I’m the same way! I refuse to spend that much money on a bow.

[@joedaniels4646]

@@3DArchery I meant a little more specifically that people like yourself laugh at people like myself who suck at archery; so therefore, we will choose a cheaper way to have fun doing it. People like yourself can take a bow like this and make it look good. So you choose to not spend a lot of money on a bow because you can basically make any bow look good, and a half decent priced/ half decent bow great! I can't, so I will always pretty much choose the cheaper route! Anyway, thanks for your review and comments ... God bless!

Alright. Get Jeff one and have a 3d shoot out with them 😆 the new fiberglass bow challenge.

I’d get one just for the novelty of it being ambidextrous and it looks okay. It’s nothing to compare to my Samick Sage or my Black Hunter Longbow. Also I like the Polish flag thing you got.

[@rodbrown8306]

I just bought the 40lbs version, so glad I did since your 30lb was way under that, would love to know the actual draw weight of the 40lb bow at 28 inches. I quite like the rugged minimal look of it and pad taped the limb rests which helps heaps tightening the bolts, and just makes the thing feel better and quieter.

[@sigmanarchery54]

Not bad at all for the price good cheap starter. 👍🏼🏹🇺🇸

[@tomgodzik4721]

Great video for the beginners. Thanks

[@-fazik-3713]

We use Rolan Snake's in our community park to teach people archery. We use 22 and 26 pound bows. 12+ of them. Other type of cheapo bows and draw weights for children (10lb, 12lb, 15lb). They work, are durable and eat the strings like crazy. We need cheap bows because you can not even think fo things people do with bows. Damn. Also they are used for Archery Tag. I'm 100% sure they could be replaced with the bow You tested without any issues. Not for "series" shooting of course ;). Although we also use sticks and strings when doing reenactment so ;).

[@caseysmith544]

Also the Southwest Archery 29 pound bow in standard length to teach adults or the 22 pound smaller 45 inch one for kids. Do not get SAS unless you are going to be using a traditional no shelf bow or a traditional type of flatbow longbow with the small shelf since the SAS model has the smallest shooting shelf I have ever seen to the point the SAS do come with 4 cheap cheap stick on arrow rests, better off buying more sturdy rests that are not stiff brittle plastic from Amazon reviews.

[@karenmurray3098]

i died a little when you dry fired that bow ( laughing) nice honest revue two thums up

[@ThorgalsWalhalla]

love that you reviewed this XD i bought 2 of them and i like them. perfect to give to a friend who wants to come along for fun. i also shot it a couple of time. but yeah.. of curse far from proffesional. just a fun toy to send out some arrows

[@theamazinggoldfish8713]

I didn't realize that recurves actually had a "set" Draw Length. That's one thing I like about my compound, a hard stop for DL. Great review thank you.🤠👍

[@yugen]

28" is just the standard for measuring draw weight. So with a fiberglass longbow or recurve, the weight of the bow is when you draw 28". You get several more pounds per inch you draw past 28". Fiberglass bows can generally be drawn to 30+" and be fine. However, it's a much different story for wooden bows. When making a wooden bow, you carefully tiller the bow to the intended draw length. So if you're making a bow for yourself and you want say 50# at 29", you first tiller to say 50# at 25", and then NEVER PULL IT PAST 25". You remove some more wood, and then pull until you get to 50#, maybe it's 26", repeat, and then 50# at 28". You repeat this process until you get to your target, in my example 50# @ 29". If you ever draw PAST that length, you will likely incur a "set" or "string follow" within the bow, and it will lose strength or even break. That's why a lot of traditional archers using wooden bows will have their arrows cut to their exact draw length, so they never accidentally overdraw and ruin their bow. Modern bows are much, much more forgiving.

[@upgraddewith2Ds]

I have noticed lower draw weight bow you have to keep your form the same otherwise you miss alot . This was my first bow to learn on and now I'm using a 55# take down

[@MikoArcher]

Very unusual review

[@moonstoned420]

I ordered the 40lb option and it pulls about 32lb at 28"

[@rodbrown8306]

Ok, is that right, I wasn't sure when I bought mine either a 30 or 40lb, so I went with the 40lbs myself, if it gives 32lbs I'm happy with that, awesome, thanks.

[@Slimedone4evr]

So mine should be around roughly 35 at 31 inch which is okay for whitetail with the right broadhead and spine setup

[@jimcrants7517]

I just ordered one, and I'm doing the thing where you keep looking for reviews even though it's too late in search of validation. Sure enough, it sounds like a good bow for what I want it for. If I (lefty) or my wife or sob (righties) find we want to shoot less casually, we can get a quality bow for whoever wants one. In the meantime, this should be fine for fooling around at the grandparents'place in the country. Thanks!

[@alanbeaulier5783]

Greg, thanks for the great review. It would be good for a kid or someone starting out that's not sure or don't know if they want left or right. Does it shoot as good as that all fiberglass one you and Jeff shot at a 3d a while back. Thank you.

[@FPChris]

I wanted it for my step daughter to see if she shot left or right hand.

[@notapplicable531]

When you said durability test and threw the bow on the ground, I immediately thought lawnmower and cringed. When I heard the Quad start up, I thought riding lawnmower although the engine sounded too deep for one. Honestly, I don't know if I was disappointed or relieved when the Quad came into the frame.

[@senorfuego9688]

What kind of arrows should I buy to keep using this bow? the first 8 that came with the kit didn´t last long..

[@thomasy952]

PT. 2 -- Hello, mine came today, and there is no way mine is even close to 40#. I bet there all the same, and they just say different numbers , to sell to different folks. No point in getting more limbs for it, as they would," most likely" be the same. But you are rite, it is ok for a yard toy, or bugout bag. I shot about 50 arrows with it, at 30' and 60'. and had no problems, and it is fairly accurate. Thanks for your honest review though , it is a fun toy. :)

[@aliendoggy1]

I would use Rolan Snake bow, i think that bow is faster.

[@bowman321123]

I suppose you get what you pay for, that price is too good to be true, but it looks serviceable for the money. The bow seems like a good indestructible one for a camp, school, or a spare for when someone comes over with some kidlets so I don't need to worry about letting them use one of my personal bows. Good review.

I thought about buying this bow for my wife to try archery. found a cheaper one from china that I went with. Archery was not for my wife. She lost interest the first day and now I have a paper weight shaped like a bow at the house. These cheap bows seem to lie about the draw weights. I bought a 30# bow and what I got was a 14# bow.

[@moonstoned420]

I ordered one of these where the seller was obviously lying about the draw weight, took a picture of it on the scale, and got a refund on it. Free bow and one less ebay scammer.

[@davidlee50]

I just bought the 20lb to plink. Do you know how much point weight it can take? Scuab Heaven Bringer.

[@3DArchery]

No way to answer that. The bow can take any point weight. What it will do is effect how far the arrow travels, and it’s flight.

[@theamazinggoldfish8713]

If it's that light won't it have alot of vibration/sound for higher pounds, say 40#'s? 🏹🤠👍

[@3DArchery]

Draw weight is usually not a factor in noise or vibration.

[@brianreynolds622]

[@juanduque7983]

have the 40lb varient, decent for a backup bow when you dont want to your primary equimpment.....the arrows they sell with it are kinda rubbish not made for competitive shooting

[@juanduque7983]

now if they could make a 60lb version...

[@jihlnabaat6329]

could get one in higher poundage and it would feel better and could you use a heavier arrow and where is you red arrow?

[@caseysmith544]

Only can on rare occasion find a 45 pound bow and that is all. and I do recommend either on the bow or right on the shelf using an arrow rest or built to curved/a small dowel piece on rest under a hair rest since you should not shoot off a flat rest as the bow is then not accurate as shown here. The Bow If I got one to teach would be the 30 pound bow since the 20 seems to have 20 pound speed problems that most fiberglass/nylon fiberglass bows tend to have and have the plastic shooting rest fixed to be sitting right on the shooting shelf with possibly a hair rest over that.

[@thomasy952]

Hello. I bought this bow in 40#, in hope that it will be between 32# and 40#. The eBay site says it should be here by 10-7- 2020. I see yours was 6# under, an the reviews on line say there's are under also. This will be for my bugout pack, and for just shooting around the yard for fun .As of now I have a 1978 Bear Black Bear,,45# at 26" . I am going to rewatch your Instinctive Shooting vids over again. I have always had pins or sites, but I am sure I will catch on. I see were you can buy 20# or 30# limbs for cheap, so I think I will. Any way for 40.00 delivered it will make a fun toy for me and any one who wants to shoot it. Also my Bear Says 45# on the limb, but the bolts are turned all the way in, do you have a guess on about how many pounds that is? Do you think 40# is to heavy to make a Carp fishing bow out of? Happy_Inn should give you a kick back as I know your Vid is why I looked him up and bought from them, even though there was cheaper ones to be found. I really enjoy your Vids, do you think you will ever do a vid on old Bear Black Bear bows. I liked your ones on the Bear 76ers. I had the Green one in 1978 with white limbs.
