Sanlida Noble Standard Target Archery Beginner Recurve Bow and Arrows Kit for Adult and Youth, 48/54/62/66/68/70 Inch Wooden Takedown Recurve Bow Package for Training, Practice & Competition - RH Only

I’ve recently returned to the sport of archery, and joined a chapter of USA Archery. I decided I’d rather shoot recurve instead of my compound bow (also a Sanlida, their budget compound bows are GREAT), so after getting frustrated with the available loaner bows feeling too small (and never being able to get a consistent draw weight), I turned back to Sanlida and purchased this bow so I’d have one to shoot consistently.I am very pleased with my purchase and my shooting has improved thanks to being able to shoot the same bow consistently. I can set it up and tear it down quickly, and it feels solid. A very good deal for the price range. It’s also a very nice looking bow.The accessories are a bit hit or miss, but they’re essentially free. The bow stringer and quiver are surprisingly high quality for add ins, and the sight is basic but serviceable.I do have three complaints regarding the accessories. Sanlida customer service resolved one of them, so I’m going to keep this a 5 star rating, but be aware of the following:-The arrow rest is bad. It’s flimsy and I sometimes have a hard time keeping the arrows from popping off if the tab grips the nock.-The included tab is also pretty horrendous. I’ve put 100+ shots through mine and it’s barely broken in. Spend a couple bucks on a nicer one at the time of purchase.-The included arrows are great quality for pack in arrows (they’re the same that were included with my compound bow, and I have no complaints) BUT the included arrows with the 70” models are only 30”. That’s not an appropriate length for all but the shortest draws where 70” is a recommended size. My draw is around 31”, meaning that the arrows were unsafe for me to shoot, if not totally unusable. For average draw lengths, this won’t be an issue, they’ll be fine.I knew the last point was a possibility based on other reviews, so I reached out to Sanlida CS when it arrived, and after a few messages they did agree to send me appropriately sized arrows. They shipped them quick, and the replacements were a step or two higher in quality.I am overall very pleased with my experiences with Sanlida’s products, and their customer service made my issue right. For that, this review remains 5 stars, even though I have a few critiques regarding the accessories.I’m already dreaming about putting together an Olympic style recurve when it’s time to move up my draw weight, and Sanlida’s products are on my short list.

Great quality for the money. Good looking bow. As a new archer, I am finding this bow very consistent. Accessories are ok to get you started. Arrows did the job also to get started. I am 6’3” and 61 years old, so I wanted a longer bow with a lower draw weight. Got the 66” at 28 lbs. has worked out perfectly well. Enjoying this bow very much and would highly recommend for someone starting out. Tip- targets are expensive. I just got a big cardboard box, stuffed with styrofoam and pine straw and taped target to it. Stopped arrows very well and easy to extract. Sat it on saw horses a put a couple of bags of $2 mulch to protect the legs of sawhorses and arrows.

The quality of the bow and accessories is incredible for the price. I got the archery big after buying my son a Genesis youth compound for Christmas and this recurve came recommended by friends. I'm a big guy and fairly strong, glad I started with 26lbs draw to learn the basics. About 200 arrows through this now across 3 sessions.Arrows are nice, but I bought a 68" bow due to 29.5 draw length and 30" arrows are too short.String nock was set at the correct spot and all the accessories just work. Quiver is nice, finger guard is great, haven't tried the sight yet, rest works really well.Negative: instructions are useless. I'm a beginner and the stringing tool took more effort to learn to how use than I am comfortable admitting, lol. It also was tied together and in untying it I accidentally untied the knot for the top limb loop. Easy to fix with some knot research.The tool itself takes some experience, step on the tool rope with both feet, one directly under the rubber stringer stop on the top limb. This keeps the rubber stop from sliding down while putting tension on the bow to loop the strong on the end.I wish Sanlida sold more parts. Would like to buy the excellent quiver for my son as well as spare bow strings and heavier weight limbs down the road.As it is, support feels fairly light from their website, but for the price ... Still worth it.This kit does not include a wrist guard, definitely pick one up, string slap at 26lbs is bruising unlike the tickle ofrom my my son's 10lb youth Genesis compound.Overall I would not only recommend buying this, I am planning on buying another for the heavier weight limbs down the road. This bow works, is well designed as a package, the accessories in the kit don't actually suck and the value is incredible.Plus it's not bad to look at.

The bow itself is fantastic. I've been using it for field archery for over a year with no problems. Just be sure to tighten the knobs before you begin your session, as I found one to have loosened over the winter. Arrows flew nicely but I've since upgraded to a set of 12. I haven't really used the rest of the kit. Quiver was a bit small.
