This was a first wood bow purchase for us, a Christmas present for our middle son. First out of the box the wood was striking. We were very happy with the overall appearance. After taking it to our local shop to be strung (something we didn't want to do ourselves, although the string comes with it) we were happy to hear from the archery guy there that he also thought it was a very good bow.
The draw weight is just as stated, and it feels and shoots like a more expensive wood bow. We are very pleased with this bow as a first time learning wood bow.
