PMZ Archery Recurve Bow Set, 54" High-Performance Horse Bow for Hunting, Right Left Hand Traditional Turkish Bow for Youth Adults Beginners to Advanced Outdoor Practice & Hunting, 20-50 lbs

Well crafted. Eastern world archery. Very fun. Fundamental. I like their motto. High value for price. A superb deal. Two bow strings being included is appreciated. (Western bow strings have too small loops.) Shoots well on rough terrain. Easy to cary over shoulder with quiver.

I got this bow in order to develop a thumb draw technique, so i needed a lighter draw wt bow then i usually shoot. I bought the bow because of the clean lines and other folks reviews, and because of the price. I am very pleasantly surprised at how well the bow is crafted. Not fancy, but all the parts are well done and nicely finished. It shoots well, and with a couple of string silencers, is very quiet. Now i get my chance to respond to all the reviewers of these Asian bows that complain the string grooves are on the wrong side. If you are one of these folks, LOOK AT THE PICTURES OF THE STRUNG BOWS! If you are breaking the string groove notches, or can"t keep a string on the bow, it may be that you have the bow backwards. Stop sending snarky reviews that mislead others. Nuff said.

This is a Magyar (Hungarian) design bow, not Turkish. I've fired several hundred arrows with it, and it is comfortable and I've gotten decently accurate with it. For the price I paid for it I am very happy with it, it's by no means top of the line, but for a novice learning thumb draw it's perfect. I shoot 700 spine arrows with it and they fly beautifully. One thing that I must say is that I saw at least 2 negative reviews for this bow from people who clearly have no clue what a recurve bow is or how it looks unstrung vs strung. A simple Google search would clear this up. No, the string notch is not "on the wrong side", the people making this bow are not imbeciles. Complaining that it doesn't come with "stringing instructions" is like complaining that a pair of shoes comes without instructions on how to tie them. PMZ made a great bow of a time-honored design at an affordable price, just wish they would market it as what it actually is rather than calling it "Turkish". I've attached a photo of my Turkish bow and this one next to each other for reference. Came with a leather thumb ring, finger tab for Mediterranean draw, leather hand protector for the bow hand, and an arm guard, all decent.

A fun, lovely bow!!Packed well.

Rather disappointed in this one. First off, the bow is actually nice, especially at this price with accessories. It feels good, looks good and draws smooth. The issue is with the draw though. I ordered this in a 45 pound setup. Bow arrived packed well enough, all listed items included. The issue was the draw weight. Marked as a 45 pound setup, as ordered, but it felt way too easy to draw. For reference I have another bow of similar style at 30 pounds so my wife can shoot with me and I’m used to its draw feel. Put it on a scale to confirm, and it was only drawing at 32 pounds, way below what I wanted. No big deal right? Got an exchange from Amazon, quickly replaced with no issue, other than the fact that the replacement was only drawing at 34 pounds full draw. (29-30” draw measured out.”) Tried the string twist trick and only got to 38 pounds and it twisted so much it wrapped up the string loop as well. I’ll be returning this one for sure. Granted, I like the bow enough that I’m ordering one in 55 pounds to hopefully land at my 45 pound goal, as it seems to run about 10 under roughly. Very annoying the listed weight is so far off but I like the feel enough to try it one last time.

I got the bow at 30# to learn thumb draw off the right side. My first experience with an asiatic bow. Ifs fun, easy to shoot, and remarkably well made for 50$! The seizing at the junction of siah and Handle and the limbs had a few gaps and looked like it might become loose. I painted it with a sealer as a precaution. I love this bow!

This bow is so fun! I can’t believe how cheap it is. I’ve been shooting modern compounds and traditional longbows for over 30 years and lately have been really getting into these horse style bows. I highly recommend as good bow to get to get you started. I got mine in 40lb.

For the price, I am not at all upset. I gave the bow four stars due to some 'cheesy-ness', but structurally, the bow is sound. The leather wrap on the limbs is just glued on, no lacing, the only lacing is the handgrip. Seem rather cheesy to me, but then, this is a $50 bow. I can't build a bow for that: my materials cost well over that price. Shoots well, quiet, and will get quieter as I make string silencers for it. Shoots well with my 2 finger draw (I broke my thumb a long time ago and can not do the thumb draw) just make sure to use proper spined arrows for the draw you purchase (I am using 400's with 35#draw@28") Would reccomend, and very fun to shoot despite the cheesy limb wraps.
