45" Youth Bow and Arrows Set for Kids 8-12 Teens Recurve Archery Beginner Gift Longbow Kit, Outdoor Hunting Play Gift, 9 Arrows, 4 Target Face for Backyard Game Age 12-14 14-16

While it is not a bow for precision target shooting(the only downside). This is a great set for for introducing archery! My son loves it, and it has truly kindled a love for the sport in his heart! The price is spot on for this set, which is fairly durable, and surprisingly accurate despite being a simple bow. Made with good materials to tolerate the learning curve associated with learning to string a bow and from what I see years of use. This is a great find, and if you are looking to get someone into archery, or who wants to learn an inexpensive one as well.

Excellent bow and arrow set. Perfect for a beginning student.

The bow itself seems good enough quality to get started in Archery, however the bow string broke on my daughter's third draw this Christmas morning. I will update and change the rating if and after the seller grants my request for replacement strings. *update* The seller has been very responsive in offering solutions to the bow-string failure. The bow string itself failed at the loop point which latches onto the bow itself. I made a self-cinching knot allowing the bow string to keep its original tension and should stay useful for as long as my daughter uses it. I changed the rating to four stars because of the seller's responsiveness. I would definitely buy again.

I did not expect very much out of this simple little bow, but I was purchasing it for my kid who has never used one before so I want really concerned about that. I just wanted something my 10 year old could draw on their own to go to the archery range and do some target practice to have something fun to do outside, build some focus and attention, get a little exercise, that kind of thing. I tried it myself, however, and was very impressed that it not only easily hit the target on the first shot, but embedded the arrow more than halfway into the fiber target! This could function for small game hunting with enough practice and the right kind of arrows and heads. My kid was but nearly as impressed, but still had fun learning range etiquette and getting to shoot targets with friends who were also out there getting in some archery practice. We lost one of the screws that holds the sight in place, so I'll need to find a replacement for that but my kid is still on the very basics of archery and doesn't even understand how to use that part yet. Assembling the bow was pretty easy for me, but I did need to sit while doing so in order to use my feet to hold the opposite end in place while stringing it. I also put the string on the wrong direction at first, but that was a very easy fix to make. The quiver feels very sturdy and even though the strap is awkward to get on/off I think it's going to last a long time and that we will become accustomed to it with use. The arm guard is a little persnickety to adjust, so be aware of that if you have issues with dexterity or grip, and it is definitely sized for a child or small adult. Assembly instructions were mostly in pictures, but overall easy to follow, especially if you already have some level of archery experience. I would recommend this product to someone who is new to archery and especially for someone looking for a bow for a child age 8 or older. I think about age 8 is the youngest that would likely be able to draw this bow due to it's size, but that would definitely depend on your child's height and strength. Would probably also be great for seniors looking to maintain or gain arm strength. You're not going to be able to down a deer with this, but if you get good enough using it I can see it being able to take rabbits, squirrels, and similar sized small game with the appropriate arrows.

I bought two youth archery sets from this vendor and I couldn't be more pleased! Using their instructions, I was able to put the bows together for my 9- and 12-year-old grandkids. Although it was a little more challenging for the 9-year-old, the kids were able to pull back on the bowstring with the arrow nocked and shoot toward a target I had set up against six straw bales. Many children want instant success these days and I explained to them that this was a skill they would have to practice. So, we watched an online instructional video and then started shooting. I needed some additional support from this company after the sale because we lost a little piece of the bow, and they were amazing. I couldn't have asked for better support. I will definitely buy from this vendor again.

I bought this bow for my 12 year old. It's amazing. I know it says 18 lb bow but It's definitely more. It's is extremely strong but it's not hard to draw back. I'm glad it comes with 9 arrows, which is more than other sets. Extremely good quality. Only one downside-DO NOT SHOOT INTO CARDBOARD. After a few days of shooting the arrows into cardboard, the arrows became damaged. The rubber feathers fell completely off and the metal tips chipped an came off as well. If the feathers come off just even a little bit, you can not shoot them because they fly everywhere and it is very frustrating and discouraging for a kid when the arrows go every which way. YOU MUST SHOOT THE ARROWS INTO HAY. Many nurseries sell bales of hay. If you use hay, the arrows will be fine. Overall great bow.

It's not the best bow on the market but if you're looking for something cheap and easy to set up easy to use and fun for your kid this is perfect

For anyone, any age looking to practice or having fun with a bow this is a fantastic set. The value for the money is wonderful. The performance on these things is surprising! Fun for the whole family and every age. Soak arrow fletching in warm water.

mon garçon et moi (10 ans) on s'amuse super bien, c'est vraiment un arc simple et très bien conçu. je suis assez grand et je peux très bien tirer avec pour le plaisir, environ 20 pieds de distance

Good quality and great for practicing! Good for beginners.

Think before you buy

I bought this for my young teenager, who was interested in getting into archery. He loves it! The draw on the bow is substantial enough and the weight of them is great for youth or adult beginners. The included instructions are easy to follow. The quiver is perfect and the quality of it seems sturdy. The arm guard is useful, especially for those just starting out. My son has had this set for almost a year now and still enjoys it. The only issue we’ve had is the plastic end cap came off a couple of the bows, but they were an easy fix with crazy glue. We’ve been pleased with the quality of this set for the price, and he has gotten lots of use out of it so far. I’d definitely have no issues recommending this archery set for young teens or adults looking to try archery. Super fun!
