Will this be a good substitute for the several months a year I will be away from my new bow flex?

I was a little disappointed and I have not used it very much. However, I plan to give it to my neighbor. I suggest you find something else.

You would be disappointed...not the same kind of workout as a bow flex. Better off joining a gym for the several months.

I actually haven't used it for fishing yet, but you can just take off the attachment. It definitely is still a recurve so not accurate for hunting like a crossbow or compound but it is a fun challenge you get better at and I agree with John about the cradle. It would be better with a proper one. Can't wait for the spring/summer time to try the fishing part. Overall, it is still a fun and cheap recurve bow if you want to take it to a range.

Ya, I suppose any compound bows on the market it is suitable. When tested to its 400fps standard, it's not capable!!! If your not shooting over 320fps you can purchase a more durable target that you can fire fixed blade broadheads at for a much lower price!!!

It does flex some. Has held up well under heavy use. It is made of aluminum

This is just the case. If you don 't have a bow I would strongly suggest visiting a good sporting goods store to be properly fit for a bow that will help you meet your objectives. Happy shooting!

Your bow should be fine. I think the response concerning the crossbow was a bit "overstated". I'm shooting a 60# compound w/field tips and they went in 3-5 ". I've taken mine apart after more than 2000 shots and recycled the contents into a replacement bag cover which I highly recommend doing! ;0)

This bow in my opinion is strictly for youth. I am a bow hunter and I would not use it even if I got in a jam and needed one

I have left mine up for all my stands from August to late November. I will leave a few up for PA gun and 2nd archery through late Jan. Never had an issue. HSS recommends 3 years I believe where they can be left out year round, and then replace them. I figure 5 years of use is good as long as there is no fraying. Better to err on the side of caution though.

That is what I use mine for, but I do not expect it to last that long. The crossbow requires a significantly greater force to bend the limbs if they are allowed to fully relax. If you don't do that (like I did), it should be fine.

You need enough room for the bows to flex down when working out. I think my bowflex is probably 8 - 12 inches away from the wall. I hope this helps.

From what I have read about the lack of durability with the flex hose I would say yes, this is a better hose than the flex hose. As for shrinking and expanding, no it does not do that. A flimsy hose isn't likely to last that long.

this i a good bow period with accuracy speed and plenty of kinetic energy to put down big game while still being affordable. it is backed with a five year warranty which all together makes it a good first through intermediate bow

I also bought this bow as a gift to my grandson. For target practice I purchased the Easton Genesis II 6-pk. They are great as a beginning arrow, but the fletchings (vanes) are flimsy and come off easily. I decided in the future I would buy arrows else where.

This model is for the transom. Adapting for the bow may require some fabrication. If you or a friend are handy at fabricating up brackets and bracing. This is up to you. We currently have 5 in stock for same business day shipping.

i buy enough cushion grip to last a year. its cheaper that way. as long as the tube isn't opened it will ladt several years. an openef tube will last several months maybe.

Its flexes a lot.... I have not had the chance to shoot the bow but drawing it back to get a feel for it I found it does flex. Flexes so much it may mess up your shot or could add power. I plan to shoot the bow soon but I bought it more for a show piece.

Yes it is, In fact I baught another one. because a tree fell on my first one. Bow hunting is what I use it for and it works good.
