That being said this bow is hardly flexible in draw adjustment and it will not promote good form habits or even the luxury of accuracy at greater distances beyond 15 yards. At it's price if my son never picks it up again I will feel that the 6 hrs of shooting he did, it will have paid for itself. It is a great gateway for my son to get into archery. To make matters worse the arrow rest does severly interfere with this bows ability to produce accurate repeatable shooting.Ĭonclusion: This bow was modestly priced at $55.oo USD. The arrow rest had so much contact in fact that within 100 shots the flexible c-clamp style rest had already broken and needed to be hot glued back on to continue shooting. The arrows have an extreme amount of contact with the rest and it's base which, CANNOT be corrected. The arrow rest did hold the arrows well in place HOWEVER. The pin does not have a fiber optic glow or anything of the sort but the tip is painted orange. The pin itself is plastic while the parts surrounding it are metal. The sight pin is just about as basic and cheap as you can get. If you insist on using this, plan on placing the foam back in every other arrow or otherwise gluing the foam in place. The quiver has a foam insert which holds the arrow points and it is held in place by the foams exspansive nature. It does have 2-3 inches of over draw with let-off at full draw, however my son was drawing to his ear at full draw without a release. It did come with a pin sight although we opted to install it we never sighted the bow in as we were attempting to get the basics of nocking arrows, stance, draw, aim release down.Ĭons: The bow draw length is absurdly unadjustable. The quiver while unecessary and only adding more weight does give the appearance of a "just like dads" appeal.The draw weight adjustment is great! To my estimation the draw weight on my sons bow is about 12 now and exceeded my expectations of being flexible in that regauard. The Arrow rest did very well at holding the arrows in place as to have one less issue to contend with while drawing the bow. The draw was smooth due to it's round cams. Pros: The bow shot pretty well and had no problem zipping arrows into a small lightweight foam target. I grabbed some graphite lubricant and lubed both cams and wiped them clean and redrawed many times to ensure the graphite had made its way into the axles.Īfter a day of shooting I have had the chance to form a well educated opinion on the bow and its strength and it's apparent weaknesses. I test drawed an arrow or two and noticed some squeaking coming from the upper cam. I then assembled the quiver on the bow with the supplied hardware. Had I been aware prior i would have set the string inside the nock to ensure it would not come unwound. I then had to add a small amount of serving string between the nocks as the arrow nocks were too wide for the string and would fall off helplessly. I got the bow home set the bow square up in the rubber capture style rest, set two nocking points for the arrow to be nestled. The vanes on the arrows had been zip tied to the string for storage and showcasing although this method left the vanes a little bent over and required a blow dryer and some re-straightening. ![]() The "safety Glass" fiber glass arrows come pre-fletched knocked and with a rounded glued on steel sleeve style field point. Unfortunately the draw length on the bow is unadjustable leaving some youngsters a bit long or short possibly. The weight is adjustable and to me personally I feel the draw weight is adjustable under the manufacturers listed specs even while maintaining their recommended limits on how far the limbs can be backed out. The riser and limbs are molded plastic and are well finished with excess trims cut away for smooth markless molding (Undetecable molding seems) and the bow seems generally sturdy and the strings and cable all conist of vinyl covered steel. Set includes bow, quiver, sight, arrow rest and two Brave arrows.įor a youth starter bow it looks really cool which is almost a necessity as anyone knows kids give not a hoot about what is better but more about what looks cooler to them and their friends. An E-Z Draw arrow rest eliminates frustration by keeping the arrow secured on the rest during draw. It's loaded with big-bow features, such as a molded system-type riser, adjustable recurve limbs and a below-grip cable guard. This youth set is 100% Fred Bear quality, but 30% smaller than a full-sized model.
