PSE Archery Razorback Traditional Takedown Recurve Recreational Shooting Bow

This is my first reserve bow and I'm in love. The craftsmanship of this bow is beautifully done. The riser is my favorite part because of the colors in the wood and how smooth the finish is. It doesn't have a glossy finish but it's smooth and fits perfectly in my hand. I bought the 30# and as a new female archer at 5'3" it was a little difficult to pull it back and hold it there but after some practice and proper instruction I am now able to hold it without straining myself too much. What I didn't like about the posting on Amazon was that there weren't enough pictures of the bow to show off all the features you can add to it. I took some pictures just recently to post along with this review just so people can see different sides of the bow. I was skeptical at first about buying it because I didn't see too many pictures. On the riser there are many different holes to add attachments and I'm pretty sure you can add a stabilizer, a bow quiver and maybe a different type of arrow rest. I went to Bass Pro Shops to get my bow fixed with an arrow rest and a nocking point but my arrow rest is one that I've seen on Amazon where you just stick it to the wood. I've shot this bow quite a few times and haven't seen any issues with this arrow rest. The glue hasn't come undone, the arrow rest hasn't broken or bent, it's been perfect. The limb bolts are very easy to screw in and assembly is easy. The only issue is that you need a bow stringer to string it. I know there is a way to string a bow without a stringer but I never wanted to chance anything going wrong. Hell I don't let anyone use my bow until I tell them to never under any circumstances, dry fire it because I'll hurt them if they damage my bow. This thing is my baby. The string it comes with is very nice. I haven't noticed any issues with it except the serving around the ends is fraying a little. I'll probably look up a way to fix that, unless someone can let me know what to do here. I'm a new archer and don't know how the string is compared to any other. I tried to measure it and the string looks to be about 59" but I'm not sure. The bow is a 62" bow from the description. Regardless it's a beautiful bow and I love shooting it.

My daughter just took an archery class in college. I wanted to encourage her to continue her archery, so I decided to buy every bow they used. They used two different types of bows for the class, and the PSE was her favorite (did you catch that? She used multiple bows for an entire semester and chose this one over all the others). When this bow arrived, I was immediately impressed with the quality and ease of assembly. We have used this bow for three months now, shooting at least twice a week. We have had it examined by one of the best archery shops in our state (where it was complimented as being a "great bow"), and we have let the entire family (ages 13 - 77) use it. They have all had a very easy time using it. A few of us are pretty good archers, and we are all very happy with the results. I would recommend this bow to anyone looking to explore recreational, family archery. It is sometimes marketed as a youth bow, but make no mistake, this is no child's toy. This is the real deal, and was chosen equipment at the collegiate level. I am 6'6" tall and my daughter is 5'8". We are both comfortable with the weight, size, draw weight, and overall performance of the bow. It is a well-made product that should last many years. I see one of my fellow reviewers had a defect in his bow. I consider this to be a fluke, and have seen nothing of that difficulty in my own experience or any other reviewer. I hope that reviewer will give PSE a chance to stand behind their product. I bet they will.

I'm 36, last had a yellow fiberglass bow when I was about nine or ten and was obsessed with Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. As I grew older I moved on, maybe did some archery at summer camp, but never ended up getting another bow. Over the last six years or so since I've had kids and have kind of lost time for hobbies and the like, I've started thinking about archery, would look at really expensive bulls, and never really pull the trigger. However, when COVID came along and I spent a lot more time at home getting cabin fever, I was really looking for something to do. I Googled "popular beginner bows" and this one came up. I watched some videos on it, saw the price tag, and just hit Buy Now. Honestly, for getting back into archery after so long, this bow does the trick. I had stopped by an archery store a while back, underestimated how strong I really was, and determined that nothing beyond a 40 pound bow was going to be possible for me at first so I ordered this 30 pound one and after a week or so of using this, I really wish I would have just gone with a 35 pound one at least. As cheap as this thing is and how easy it is to set up and take down, I'd recommend it to anyone looking to get into archery. Very pleased so far.
