ATROPOS-109 Archery Compound Hunting Bow, H&LH Handed Bow,Black/Camo

Superb value-for-money, though I would recommend that you buy the Full package version, with whisper-biscuit arrow rest and sight already fitted, plus a Release aid and carrying bag too. Sourcing your own arrow rest, sight and bag will cost you more in the end - and takes a while to set up accurately. That aside, it's an excellent little bow with a big kick, though the instructions are definitely not to be taken seriously.... Any archery manual that shows a rigid bar clipped to the riser at one end, then to a Release Aid at the other, with the bow fully drawn between the two - and an arrow nocked - is an accident just waiting to happen, when something or someone knocks or touches that release aid trigger... Definitely DON'T try this at home, children...! It should be only One star really, just for that stupid illustration on the "Instruction" page (one sheet of paper, half in Chinese), that you get with this bow - but serious lapses in safety aside, the bow itself is very well made and is great fun to shoot, though it will take me a while to become accustomed to using a wrist release... For once, an amazonian bargain...!

Very powerful for size would suggest anyone buying one remembers to get an arrow rest

Prior to purchase, I talked to the company about making a review. In an exchange for an honest review I would receive a discount. Even though their company is based in China, I received emails back within 24 hours. Their customer service is great!The bow itself arrived in 9 days. While the packaging wasn't spectacular, the bow came in great condition. There was no damage and it worked just fine.I ordered the camo one because I didn't think that the plain black one would look nice. Now that I have the camo one, I think I would have preferred the plain black one. Reason being is that there are seams in which I believe the camo starts and stop when applying. The seam on the hand can cause a little hand irritation, but can also be fixed with a little sanding.The peep sight definitely is a little low but is installed at the highest point possible already. You can still use it, but it is hard to get a good anchor point as well.The D-loop is nice and strong and is leveled at a good place. After I installed a drop-free rest, it shoots great.I also installed a Tru-Glo sight and this bow is putting arrows on top of arrows and I don't believe I have this tuned perfectly yet either.At first, I thought the bow limbs were too far apart which would not allow me to install limb savers. However, they are close enough so I did install them. The bow immediately became deadly quiet.While it is advertised to be a 50 lbs bow, I found it to be 45 lbs exactly on my scale. This isn't a big deal however since 45 lbs is the minimum draw weight for hunting in most US states and is plenty for target practice.It does come as a bare bow and needs upgrading to get it working but after less than $100 of upgrades, the bow is not only deadly accurate but also deadly silent.The reason I got the bow is because of how unique it is compared to other bows. It will definitely turn heads at the archery range.I see that the other user had a bad experience and may have just received a defective unit. But of course, whenever I see people say that a bow breaks on their first shot and does not show any background knowledge of bows, I can't help but think they dry fired it. The bow also comes with a sticker on the limbs with large red text that says "DO NOT DRY FIRE." If you did not and it broke, try contacting the company.I also made a video review if you are interested.[...]
