Great Bow used in College Archery Class
928066
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.

The Bow Trainer is a great tool to get the proper muscles stretched and in shape for archery shooting.  I have back problems and muscle spasms but with regular chiropractic care and the use of this trainer (only 2 months) I am now able to repeatedly (sometimes 50-75 arrows a night) shoot my Bowlogic 34 at 65# draw weight.  I train as though I am shooting 70# at least 4 times a week.  Great product, I recommend it for all archers and anyone who wants to exercise and strengthen back, shoulder and arm muscles.  Thank you Bow Trainer.

The bow was easy to assemble right out of the box. I used the instructions that came with scope to get a zero from 20 to 60 yards.  The accuracy is amazing even at the 60 yard mark with an inch diameter of 3 bolts shot. I used the Excalibur quill bolts provided with the 150 grain field tips. I definitely got my monies worth. This bow is high quality and I would recommend it to anyone.

Great Bow , I waited to write a review until I got a chance for me and the wife to shoot it. It is probably the Best bow I have handled it is beautiful and acurate I am using wooden arrows with turkey feathers and they fly great.

Just don't be afraid stringing it , look up a video if you will ... The Point to take away ... you are not going to break the bow, pull harder.

I had to swap the arm I traditionally string with so my strongest arm would pull the bow arm back... so step through with right foot instead of left.

This is my first and I'm glad I went with this crossbow. I have shot over a 100 shots and love it.
One then I found out is that with a recruve bow if the string breaks in the firld I can change it and contune my hunt with thr compond ones your hunt Iis over.
When I upgrade I will syick with arrow persidtion products. Kenneth Thibodeaux

I'm a beginner so I can't tell you how good this bow is, but I can tell you Shar sent it to me in perfect condition, not chipped or damaged like some of the bow reviews I have read. For a beginner it seems great! Looks sharp too!

This is a very good bow. I've been shooting for 20+ years. Everything from Hoyts, Bears, Bowtechs to Mathews. I currently shot Mathews but because of a shoulder surgery, had to convert to left a handed set up. So in looking for a cheep set up because of not knowing what the future held in my situation, I found this bow. It was very easy to set up and especially to adjust both draw and length of pull. The big thing also about this bow was the price. Everywhere else, this model  was $800. On Amazon and only this model was $127. so it was a no brainer I don't know why It was priced like that, but those of us that got it were the winners. you can't find a used one for that price. I don't know if I would have paid $800 for it, but it definitely was worth $127.

I received this bow as a present and so far it has been wonderful. I am not tall but it is a great size for me. The tension is good, it isn't too heavy. I am still working on the correct pull and release method so it isn't too easy. I choose the recurve vs the compound as I like the more traditional bow and how it can help tone your arms.  The other thing I really like about it is that it is a simple black, I like the simplicity and workmanship as I wanted to be able to learn without spending a lot of money.

Great bow. I ordered it for bowfishing and haven't had any problems yet I am impressed with the action it has and the accuracy. The only thing I could think of to improve it is weight reduction.but for the price you pay its 110% worth every penny

You cannot beat this bow for the money !! If you're a beginner looking to upgrade or a Pro looking for a great back up bow. This bow has great response,balance and the feel of a much more expensive bow. Ive tried many of the lower priced carbon fiber bows and this one is by far the best. I would feel comfortable recommending this bow to anyone. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Very Functional is raising your young archers NASP score. Do NOT shoot your aduly hunting or competition bow at this as you will destroy it. Shoot 40 lb. and under range points and you will get months of service from it. Also keep it inside. I don't believe it will stand the weather.

I own this bow  55# version... for starters I will say.. the limbs breaking were older version "first release of the bow limbs" that is well stated on the martin forums.. MY bow is supposedly 55# at 28"  in actuality it is 63# at 28" 70 # at 31" which is my draw length.
the bow is solid and prior to shooting needs to be tuned properly ,as you should be doing with any bow.. I would suggest to anyone, no matter how strong you think you are. you won't consistently pull the 55 back to proper shooting position on a regular basis ( i am  big guy, and I have difficulties when the bow limbs are cranked all the way tight.. there is some adjustment in the bow by taking 2 full turns off the limb bolts  I got it back to 55#.. it is loud  which is easily fixed  with some beaver balls , cat whiskers  or just home made yarn puffs,  Flemish twist string and string groove pads.. the only real downside for me is the thumb knuckle killer.. the bottom of the shelf  is quite irritating for those with larger hands.... other than that  this thing  is a great bow, it is fast light, after proper setup its even quiet. with the ability to purchase and swap limbs in different poundage and keep your riser setup.. makes this a good bow to grow with someone as well
. so proper tuning and setup, new string a few accessories  and this bow will last a long time

So far its a great bow. I haven't had much of a chance to play with it a lot, but the few times I did it was easy to play with and responsive. I look forward to using it more.

I had a friend who is a life long bow hunter that switched to the meat seeker. I admit I was skeptical at first, but they flew true to my field tips. I shot a cow elk last night at 19 yards. Entrance hole went right through a rib bone and exited out missing bone all together. The blood trail was incredible and the Broadhead was still in perfect shape. I'm sold on this Broadhead for sure

After doing a little research on good recurve bows for beginning archers I found this one had good reviews all around. I've only had it a couple weeks and have shot dozens of arrows with it so far and have been pleased with the feel of the bow. I also like that I'll be able to swap the limbs out when I want to go up in lbs.

The AP is a very good crossbow and no its not an expensive one but I have deer hunted for many years and this little bow packs a punch it will take a deer,turkey and even coyote no prob at around thirty yards. I have owned a few brands and the AP is just as good, I have recommended this bow to a few of my friends this bow stays together and the red dot stays on target it is very durable.

My son has had this bow for two years now. I bought it because I had gotten a similar one for my daughter on Shar, and her violin teacher was really impressed with it. When I came time to buy another one for my son, I went with this one because it was similar. His violin teacher is even more impressed with this one than my daughter's. She now recommends it to all of her students.
