NIKA ARCHERY Traditional Recurve Bows 48" ET-4 Meng Yuan Bow 18lbs for Beginner

This bow looks great. I’ve shot it for about 3 hours.Max distance is 20 feet.The arrows just kind of lob toward the target.It feels like plastic not fiberglass.It also feels like a toy to me, but for my girl friend, who is small Asian women, it works ok, since she has no experience at all.There is a lot of extra slack in the string. as I’m 6 foot tall and can draw it past my ear.So with her short arms, there is a lot of energy not being stored in the draw.She has to pull behind her head. I wish it came with a shorter string length.I think a shorter string would work on this. Perhaps it will add more snap and give a more satisfying experience.I guess for a very small beginner it’s ok.I would be interested to see what the 30lbs is like, but the shipping time is practically a month. Though they did send it soon since I requested it because it was a present.
