It feels and sounds like it's going to break. The crack is not reassuring.March 15, 2010 Happy Face(Los Angeles, CA United States) 6 out of 7 found this review helpful
Check out the photos of the bow I bought through Amazon which I received today.
The last thing you want to hear when you draw back your bow string is: you know when you have a whole pack of spaghetti noodles and you sometimes break it in half to fit in the pot better? It's the sound of a bunch of little sticks breaking fast one after another. That's pretty close to how my bow sounded. I unstrung it, and found a crack. Then I restrung it to see if the crack looked any worse under tension. And a big chip flaked off the bow!
I can't believe it.
The other reviews all looked okay so I had high expectations but this bow was junk right out of the box. Highly disappointing.
I'm going to return the bow and then seek out a brick and mortar archery store. For less than $100 I wasn't expecting world-class equipment, but I should have received a simple, basic, usable bow.
Now I have to go through all the hassle of returning this thing.
Don't buy this!
Great Bow for money but needs clearer instructionsDecember 25, 2009 Stephen W. Smith 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
It looks great, and is fantastic value for the price,but for anyone new toarchery this type of bow is couner-intuitive and needs to be bent in the opposite direction before stringing to get extra tension. My teenage boys were pretty fed up with the string keep coming off until an archery friend showed us.
So I'd rate the bow as 5 Stars, but then knock 1 star off for unclear instructions !
A recurve bow just like when I was a kidSeptember 5, 2009 Mazonman(USA) 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
My new Titan 60 inch recurve 30# fiberglass bow functions as advertised. I am grateful to WTA for providing prompt service when we had questions. It's about time we had a choice when buying a basic bow to learn archery. Next; a compound bow...
Fiberglass practice bowAugust 30, 2009 Dave(New Jersey) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is just what I wanted. A bow that was NOT a compound bow. A previous reviewer said that it was just like the bow he remembered practicing with in high school, and I would confirm that. I had one just like it when I was in high school that I bought from the Boy Scout store and spent many enjoyable hours shooting into hay bales in the back yard. Strangely, it seems you can't get bows like this any more at sporting goods stores or the Boy Scouts-- the only bows of similar draw weight seem to be compound bows. This one draws well and is fun for my fourteen year old, as well as me.
Nice BowJune 13, 2009 C. Miller 11 out of 12 found this review helpful
I ordered this bow because of the decent reviews it got, but also because i have wanted to start archery. This is a very nice beginners bow and i was surprised by the price i thought i would be paying much more.
i got the Feather Fletched Easton XX75 Blues Arrows 6-pack
they are nice arrows and they work well with this bow
