SinoartFalcon 60" Takedown Hunting Recurve Bow Metal Riser 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 Lbs Black/Camo Right Hand

This bow stacks like a leaf spring from a truck, but it's a solid recurve and puts arrows where you want them. The riser is drilled and tapped for all manner of accessories, from plunger/arrow-rests to sights to quivers to stabilizers to bow-fishing rigs. It includes a funky little adjustable plastic arrow rest and the shelf is slightly crowned for those, like me, who would rather install a Bear Hair arrow rest and use fletched arrows. You'll want to replace the string right away, as it comes with only a cheap14-strand string and for any recurve north of 40lbs with a lot of stack, you'll definitely want, say, a 16-strand string. Strings aren't terribly expensive and you'll have to learn how to string your bow at some point (you'll need a bow stringer to do this, which is just a simple and inexpensive rope device). You'll need to place a nock on your new string (I prefer tied-on nocks over the brass nocks that are crimped onto the string).I purchased the black model and it looks nice, sort of like the bows they were making just as aluminum/magnesium risers were first being offered on recurves. The limbs are backed with black glass. The natural would cores are a pleasant contrast to the black. Looks like a more expensive rig.Overall, this is a good, solid bow for beginners, hunters new to traditional archery, leisure target shooting, or as a terrific back-up bow. This is as meat-and-potatoes as it gets folks--just a heavy workhorse that should last quite a while. It can handle Fast Flight strings, which is nice. My main bow is a Bear Montana and I wouldn't think twice about having this as a second bow in the back of the truck.Now, I purchased this bow in 40lbs and purchased a set of 45lb limbs for draw progression for a beginning archer I know. The riser was made correctly. Both sets of limbs were straight, durable, and without defects. After reading some of the other reviews of this bow, I think I may have gotten a bit lucky.My conclusion is that this bow is worth buying, even if there is a slight risk of getting a lemon. As long as the end user anticipates the rather sharp stacking, they'll probably like it quite a bit.

After a good tuning the bow shoots verry well but it is noisy on string release every shot u wonder if it's going to break.The test i made was with a 40pnd bow

I am a 27 year old male, standing at 5 feet 7 inches, weight 140 pounds, and have an athletic build. However, I am a total newcomer with ZERO experience for archery. Why I started archery? Inspiration from the tv series "Arrow". I am currently finishing up season 4.As for the bow. Like anything else, it only handles well if the individual knows how to. As Bruce Lee once said, "Be water my friend." Simply put; proper form, technique, knowledge, and etc. You have to become the bow and arrow. Watching a tv show will only inspire, but will not help. During my first practice session, and the first arrow that I ever shot, disappeared.. Literally....legit disappeared. I looked hours for it, but its no where to be found. Thats how terrible it was. So bad, that my first shot was no where to be found. Probably slid in somewhere into the pile of junk that I have stored near my shack. Thats the only place that I havent checked yet because I would have to move all that junk. Very strong chance that it slide in there somewhere because the arrow flew towards that direction and clanked around according to the sound it projected.So, my morale was completely devastated, and so I went onto youtube to watched several beginner archery videos, for about 30 minutes. After that I went straight into round 2 of practice session. A quick summary of how it went, Good. Wasnt great, but good. Way!!! Better compared to my first session with no knowledge at all. My arrows started hitting my target boards and intended spots. My form improved. I had a sense of aiming, and etc. Eventually I enjoyed it so much, that nearly 3 hours went by, and I was reaching exhausting. How I knew I was reaching my limit? My form started to mess up, my left arm which holds the bow, was getting weaker, and the bow string started to slap my left arm upon release due to exhausting. However, I was still having so much fun, I wanted to keep going regardless of my near limit strength.So, my second session in full came up to a total of-4 hours of practice.-.Red bruises and bumps on left arm due to bow string slap because I pushed myself to go above and beyond even though I was reaching my limit.-Both arms were beat out.-Shoulders were kind of sore.-Skills drastically improved upon watching archery tutorial and tips on youtube and within those 4 hours of practice.-Overall, just like with any other object, a very nice bow that handles well only if you know how, and when you do, it handles amazingly well. Its accurate, quality of the bow is great, you can leave the string on the bow for several months and even possibly a year according to my research. Mines been on for almost 2 weeks now. Also, I bought the 40 lbs as my first. I would recommend going lower as a first, and or if you are not in shape. However, I am very satisfied with this as my first bow!

The bow functions properly and well, smooth pull, somewhat balanced, however, my bow's lower limb began to deform after a few weeks of shooting. It has been about two months since my purchase and the limb has a definitive bend now. I usually destring the bow and remove the limbs for storage when not in use, but if I do decide to leave the bow as is until the next shooting session I would leave it hanging on hooks, parallel with the ground, held with two hooks on the string, in a cool room. I see no possible way my method of storing the bow would cause it to deform. I am sure that this was a defective limb and I just so happened to get it.Overall, the bow is inexpensive yet effective at getting the job done. The only major downside to this bow is that you can feel the bow shake a little after shooting it, not much of a problem since many takedown bows tend to shake due to not being a solid piece.If you see any bend in the limbs, definitely contact the seller ASAP. The limbs are interchangeable and should not be much of a hassle to replace.UPDATE (09/08/18): SinoArt showed great attention to detail when it came to customer service. After reading my review, they contacted me and sent me new limbs @ no cost! Although the limbs were 40# instead of my original 45#, the bow feels much better with improved limbs. Very reliable, very sturdy, looks and feels nice, you can take it anywhere, overall this bow is great!

This is my second Sinoart bow within a month. The Falcon is great quality and bang for the buck. The falcon is more a hunting style recurve and looks sweet. Fit and finish is remarkable for under $100 . I'm impressed and don't see why to spend more money on something else. Give Sinoart a try.Update: I was having cracking noises from my limbs. One broke. I contacted Sinoart via email on the first of January telling them about the problem and requested a set of 30# replacement limbs. I haven't heard from them at all. So if Sinoart reads these reviews, please send me a set of 30# limbs for my 60" Falcon please. I would really like to get back shooting it.
