TOPARCHERY Archery 56" Takedown Hunting Recurve Bow Metal Riser Right Hand Black Longbow

With how expensive bullets are becoming, I don't get to shoot as much as I used to. So I decided to turn to archery to fill that gap. I purchased 3 different levels of recurve bows, this being the middle pull, and cost of the three. After a few weeks of shooting it, here's what I have to offer:Pros: For the money, it's a great. I've since watched MANY Youtube videos that review this particular bow (mine is 50lb), and warn people NOT to buy it. I can confidently tell you that it is my favorite amount the 3 I bought. The other ones were a $50 one with metal arms, and a sinoart one (at 60lb pull) that looks great, but just isn't comfortable to shoot. This bow looks nice, and has holes if you want to add 3 sight indicators. It comes with a bow stringer tool, which is very useful once you learn how to use it. The handle is sleek and just feels right in my hand. I haven't added an extras, like string suppressors and anything, and it works just fine. Right out of the box (once I put it together), I was zeroed in pretty quickly, shooting 12 inch groupings at 15 yards. I'm no Robin Hood, but I can hit the target, and the arrows don't waggle too much as they go.Cons: There are other bows, I'm sure, that will shoot smoother, and now be as heavy. Youtube reviewers seems to love a Samik Sage, so I just bought one to compare it. But that bow is slightly more expensive that this one. I wish it at least came with a few arrows (as a package) but arrows are readily available on Amazon. Not sure how long the string will last, but when it breaks, I'll just buy another one.OVERALL: I'm not a hunter, or a professional archer - I saw Rambo and wanted a bow that I could take apart and shoot well. I wanna pretend that I'm a ninja in my backyard when I target shoot with my kids. This bow looks nice, feels nice, and doesn't embarrass me when I launch arrows at the target in front of the family. Eventually, when we go on vacation, it'll be nice to take it apart so it transports easily (and takes up a smaller footprint in the back). Hope this review helps you decide if it's the bow for you.Happy hunting ya'll!

I bought this bow for my husband as a Father's day gift. He loves it so much that he decided to write a review about it so this is his review! I have been shooting compound and traditional bows for twenty five years. I hunt with compound bow but I love shooting my traditional bows as well. I have not been able to shoot any of my bows for about year and half. I wanted to buy a beginner bow with a light draw weight to help my shoulder muscles get back in to shape again. I asked my wife to buy the 30 LB recurve from Top Archery. I have to admit that I am extremely pleased with this bow and I highly recommend it. I silenced the limbs by putting a square piece of thin rubber between the riser and the limb on both upper and lower attachment pockets. I also used a cotton ball to fill the small pocket in the riser under the limb. If you don't do this important step that small space will act as a resonator and allow the string vibration to be amplified! I also put mole skin under the string towards the limb tips to reduce string slap. Added a couple of wool home made silencers to the string (after a good waxing). The arrow rest that comes with it is very cheap so I did not even use it. I used a Bear archery "Weather rest" and had to trim it a little to make it fit good. Put some mole skin on the shelf under the rest and placed the knock on the string about 1/4 inch above center of T square. Set the brace height at 7.5 inches. I shoot a heavy 630 grn arrow. Let me tell you, this bow set up as I mentioned shoots extremely well, quiet and amazingly accurate. Please keep in mind that this draw weight is not for hunting and just for shoulder muscle exercising and form retention. For trad hunting, I use a 52 lb Bear Grizzly and it hits like a sledge hammer! If you are a beginner and like to get in to trad archery or even as a experienced trad archer looking for a light bow with a light draw weight, you should really check out Top Archery equipment. For the price, quality and performance they are very hard to beat. I promise you that you will not be disappointed ! Sorry for the long winded review and hope this review helps some of my archery brothers. God speed.

I wanted to get back into archery and perused what Amazon had. Well, I chose this one and it was a good choice. Very well made, very well finished and is very powerful. 65lb. draw. Which means after I get some practice in, I'll be able to use it for hunting. It comes in a draw string bag and could be carried while back packing. The only caveat that detracts from it slightly is that the bow rest broke with the first arrow and there are no sights. There are threaded mounting spaces for them but didn't come with sights. So I will probably have to take it to an archery shop to see what they can do.Anyway, I really like it, it's very well made and will last for years and years.
