I would pass on this if you really want to get into archery. I bought this for my girlfriend so she could loose some arrows with me. If I were you I would head down to Bass pro or a local archery store and talk with someone that knows about it. They will measure you for your draw length as well as help you find what your poundage is. Also they will specially cut arrows for your draw length. Its up to you though, depending on how serious you are about it all.

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

To be completely honest with you, it is really too light weight of a bow for you. You need to look at something like the diamond infinite edge compound bow. The bodies are all made of a composite material now days. The diamond is a bow that can last you a lifetime. Hope this helps you.

all weapon's has a degree of inaccuracy you ever heard of the phrase "you get what you paid for"??? A "Pro" cross bow will start from anywhere in the few thousands of dollar, again the purpose of this kind of bow is more like for "beginners" (learn how to use it then upgrade from there according to your needs and budget) this is not made for "big game" or sporting Olympic type event. i hope you make your own assessment w some common sense good luck

Yes It is this bow doesn't require much muscle but the arrow it self does make a strong impact with the bow I really recommend this product it should be just fine for a person that is 5'3!!

Great thinking. A normal male would love a bow. I bought this bow (and many others) for a youth group but I and other adults have shot and enjoyed it. The bow you found is a 20-29 lb pull. However, this Bear Firebird bow which is the same price as yours, is a 30-35 lb pull which would be even better for an adult male. Bear Archery Firebird Bow, 60-Inch Either way, I am sure he will enjoy it.

It might be small for a 14 and 17 year old. I think a bear apprentice might be better. It is a great beginer bow for older youth and young adults.

This is a really fine bow for the price. I bought it for my granddaughter and she loves it. But you have a very long draw length and this bow might be a bit too small for you.

Yes this is a great starter bow. Good to learn on and build arm strength. We were impressed by the quality.

The draw weight and lengths are adjustable. I have it set at 55lbs with a 28inch draw. set up is a cinch. You'll have to buy the tools to adjust the weight and draw or take it to a reputable place. I love my Martin bow. its awesome for a self taught beginner like myself.

Before answering , I think I need to say that this bow will not be adequate for a tall person, (over 5'10"). The draw length will not extend beyond 29".The string is quite good for an inexpensive bow. It should last several years depending on how you treat it. Have a bow shop check it after your first year. I have used this how for hunting, and feel like I need no other bow. It is an older design, but a good one. It will need to have the draw length set, and have a better arrow rest (Whisper Buscuit type) and also a peep site added. You will need good carbon arrows, and you will be all set. I couldn't believe what a great bow for so cheap. Before answering , I think I need to say that this bow will not be adequate for a tall person, (over 5'10").

Yes. It's a great value, a functional bow for target practice but not too intense. It's large and legitimate.

The bow is for basic learning designed for small kids. It teaches basic skills but has no power for hunting or even being used for distant target practice. I would go to any store that sells bows and see if you are strong enough to pull back and hold 25lbs. If you can I would buy a more powerful adjustable bow. If you can't this bow is for you.

This is a great bow- This bow is worth more than what I paid for it. I have recommended this bow to all my friend whether they are a beginner shooter or avid hunter.

I hadn't done much archery before and I started with 35lbs; I think 30lbs is a good place to start, maybe 20-25 if you're not overly athletic.
