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 have been a traditional archer for 25+ years now and have been exposed to just about every bow under the sun. I have now had my hands on 4 of these SinoArt longbows (also known as Black Hunters). The first one I purchased was a 40lbs. right hand model as a gift for my brother. It was perfect, great finishing, put it on my bow scale and it measured exactly 40lbs at 28 inches. I was so impressed with it that I purchased a 45lbs. left hand model for myself. This is where the lack of quality control became apparent. The first left hand model I received came is at 51lbs on my bow scale rather than 45. Plus or minus a couple of pounds is acceptable, but 6lbs. is too much. So I did a exchange with Amazon. The next one came in at 50lbs vs. 45lbs. Additionally, this one had a high gloss finished on the riser (handle) where as the prior 2 had matte finished. That does not matter to me though I found it strange. I returned this one as well and ended up ordering a 40lbs model. This one measures in at 42.5lbs. which is acceptable. Overall, these are impossible to beat for the money and I would recommend them to anyone looking to get into archery, just be aware of the potential for quality control issues.

I bought the 30lb version of this bow just getting into traditional archery. There are youtube/forum reviews on this bow, and quite simply it is a great bow to start with. Since buying this I have picked up a much more expensive 60# Bear Montana Longbow, and a vintage 50# Wing archery recurve, but I still find myself coming back to the Black Hunter to work on form or after long shooting sessions with the higher poundage bows. If in doubt just buy it, and if possible find a local archery shop to pick-up arrows. I did replace the string with one made by a guy named Lane Holcomb who you can find on facebook and it shoots very well and highly recommend...

Saw a lot of good reviews. I decided to buy one. I ask for 40lb draw weight was quite surprised by my scale @28" it was 42lb. Very impressive. The draw is very smooth no stacking. Love this recurve.

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.

I'm a very experienced archer and this is my all time favorite bow! So much so, I bought 2 of them. Both are perfect and a bargain for a traditional bow with bamboo limbs.
