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.

Nice little take down bow, bought it for my wife, she likes it. You can pull this al the way to 33 inches. Good if your trying to learn thumb draw and don't want to spend a lot. definitely for beginner. can be a fun little bow if you get the 30# one.
