This is a very decent youth sized, dual cam bow. It is very easy to set up for weight adjustments, I believe it arrived at full strength of about 40-45 pounds. At the archery shop they tested our weight setting and said we set it at 19 pounds. The only thing we have added is a wrist strap. We eventually took off the side quiver and all the extra limb dampeners to reduce overall weight.
The sight is a five pin fiber optic deal with a small bubble level. The outer ring of the sight glows in the dark. To my complete surprise, it has Black Light illumination for low light shooting, whaa? Cool. I easily removed 2 pins to reduce “sight clutter.” We now have a 10 yard, 20 yard and 30 yard pin. Lucky for us each pin is a different color, red, yellow and green.
We are using a Patriot Jr. release and we’re pleased with this so far. For our budget this is a GREAT YOUTH BOW. It is small and light. It is fully featured out of the box, it comes with an Allen Wrench folding tool to make all of your adjustments. The Manual booklet is super basic. I had to go to YouTube to figure out how to install the arrow rest and the sights. I couldn’t be more pleased with this purchase. We are in the backyard shooting real carbon fiber shafted arrows and hitting targets having a blast. We got our arrows cut to 28” and put 100 gr Field Tips on them. I went on-line and ordered a dozen 75 gr tips so the arrow speed can increase.
Is there anything I don’t like about this bow? Not really. I considered Bear and PSE youth/teenager bows but I didn’t want to risk a near $300 flop if this didn’t work out. For a beginner to archery this has everything you want or need minus the grip strap. Yes, it is an Amazon purchase so I’m sure the Archery Snobs will snicker but I don’t care. In fact, I’m so impressed with this bow that for $40 more, I am considering getting the adult version (up to 75 pounds) so that Father and Daughter are rocking the same gear. Nice.
Buy this with confidence. Look at my pictures. Ask me a question if you would like. We live in So Cal and our archery dreams do not include taking a six point Buck from the tree stand at 30 yards this Fall. We just want to shoot and have fun in the yard or at the range. Could this be more premium, made out of better stuff? Sure. But now you’re back up to $250 -$300. This bow is perfect for us now and with care we will pass this on in a few years to my younger daughter. I took a chance with this but ultimately I am extremely pleased with this purchase. No, not sponsored.
UPDATE: So we’ve been enjoying this bow now for about a month and I have upgraded some gear. Almost all of this was purchased from Amazon also. First we bought an XGeek Youth Bow carrier/backpack. This carrier has a zip pocket for the black tube protective arrow case. This case will fit a dozen arrows no problem. Then I decided to upgrade the sight with a Trophy Ridge Joker 4. I chose this because it was brighter, simple, only four pins, and perfect for our entry level needs. This sight has a small light built into it also. We also picked up some Easton Bow Wax. Lastly I decided on two Limbsaver archery products: a bow string silencer and a 3 1/2” stabilizer. As you can see from the pictures, the silencer attaches out front but it can reach back to the string. This bow came with a small front, harder rubber stabilizer but I just wanted this design for its softness. We’re shooting 6.5 mm carbon arrows with 50 grain field tips. Only the arrows and tips did not come from Amazon. Needless to say, my daughter and I are super pumped, happy and enjoying our entry into backyard archery. -R
UPDATE: someone asked me via Amazon Reviews what the cams were made of, they are made of a non-magnetic metal, probably an aluminum. These cams are painted black with a crinkle/textured paint. They are definitely not a plastic. 03 AUG 2022 -R
UPDATE: Been having a lot of fun with this setup. Today installed a Super Deuce 38 3/16 peep sight, black (without the stretch tube), installed a Kisser button and increased pull weight to 25 pounds. My daughter is 12 now and we’re using 85 grain field points now. We slid the D-Loop just a bit for better fit. 14 OCT 2022 -R
UPDATE: Bought a second bow for my youngest daughter for her 11th birthday. Right now we are running the same set up on both bows: Trophy Ridge Joker 4, Limbsaver Limb Decelerator, Limbsaver S-Coil dampeners (2 3/4” and 3 1/2”), and grip straps. One bow is set at 25 lbs. and the new one is set at 15 lbs. Looking forward to getting this second rig dialed in. Again, I could not be more pleased with this entry level purchase. This second bow is not labeled “Ghost Hand,” no big deal. You buy this bow because it is a cheaper option upfront. I am ok with that. These bows seem legit and I honestly have nothing to complain about. I now have both girls with their own rigs, their own separate arrows and separate target blocks. I like the fact that I can upgrade what I want and these bows are universal enough to accept all the higher quality upgrades. Again, ask me any question you want. Loving this set up, need to buy my first bow soon. 25 OCT 22.
UPDATE: 30 APR 23 Still having fun with this initial setup. I got carbon arrows cut down for my youngest at about 25” and she shoots them good. My older daughter has her arrows at about 28” if I remember correctly. Entry level fun. I couldn’t be more pleased with this purchase. I couldn’t be more pleased with our level of performance for right now. UPDATE: 28 May 2023 Made a few changes. Both girls are now using Trophy Ridge Kill Shot Whiskey Biscuits, size medium. Both girls have their own arrows cut down. And both girls are using 75 grain field tips. Still using Trophy Ridge Joker 4’s on both rigs. Youngest girl is using the smallest/lightest dampener out front that I could find. Still having a lot of fun. We have only shot 10 and 20 yards at various archery ranges. - R
