These sleeves are for protecting your arms when you are welding lol not for bow hunting they could work if you arnt getting hit to hard with the string but being a bow hunter myself if your getting hit by the string your doing it wrong. Lol

It sure wouldn't hurt Michael. In fact, I have them on both my longbow and recurve. Super easy to install and they really do quiet the bow down! Have a good day

I have them on a real AR. But not one that I would EVER use to defend my life with. These are cheap and would be better suited for air soft.

The hard part of putting the crossbow is stringing it. You need a strong person to bend the bow and you canstring it. The scope I think is a cheap one so I left it off the bow. If you are a good shooter, you won't havetrouble shooting it.

Well its ok. but just make sure you're strong enough to attach the string to the bow. also make sure all the nuts and bolts are properly tightened. i lost one when it came undone and had to replace it. the last thing I'm gonna add ismake sure you are firing at a visible target. I've already lost all my bolts due to them going underneath the ground.

I've shot several hundred arrows with it and have no noticeable string damage yet. However, you should always inspect the string and bow before use. I don't think this string is more prone to breakage than others. It seems quite durable, but I do wear eye protection whenever I shoot as things can break expectantly.

I bought these for my neice and they worked very well out of the box. She has a Bear recurve #20 with 60 AMO. They launched sideways off my Bear recurve #35 with 60 AMO. An archery shop could best answer this question. I would not risk the purchase without finding out first. There are very many factors when tuning arrows to match a bow.

I used SA Sports Ambush Crossbow 150lb draw. I am a novice hunter. These arrows did the job for me. They survived over a dozen shots target/sighting in and even the 6-7'' pine tree trunk that it hit after passing through my first deer ever last month.

It appears that the crossbow in the photo has a track that forces the arms downward if the cocking lever is in the shooting position. My crossbow is not like the one pictured. From a usage standpoint, it really doesnt matter where the arms are as long as they are in front of the bowstring when it is not cocked. If I were you, I would not return it, the chances of you getting one like the picture might be slim and none.

This target is made of foam layers great for stopping arrows. I have no doubt that a children's bow would penetrate it. My wife shoots low poundage and the arrows sink in just fine. Great buy for any shooter. In my opinion

you actually release the string as you can see the handle is connected to the string and the handle has an end that shoots the nerf arrow! I have to say that a lot of bows we've used didn't shoot but this one actually shoot and have some range but is very safe and doesn't hurt at all. I've had my son shoot me at close range and it doesn't hurt...extremely fun! I shoot the kids sometimes when they don't expect it with the bow nerf...they run! LOL!

Yes i beleive that these bows are made well and shoot very good. The only trick is, is to be sure that you cock the string equally or your arrow will fly off scope. Also be sure to read the instructions when assembling. I am 19 and love to shoot it.

Yes. These are for target shooting. Their very tough and can take quite a lot of punishment if you don't "jerk" the arrows out of a bag target (I use a block target, you don't lose points) instead of just trying to snatch these old school arrows out of a target, pull it out until it stops, then waggle it back and forth, and when you see the point, give it a twist! It'll come right out. These are the best wooden arrows for a long or recurve bow. Great price. Beautiful. And if you'll put a bit of Tough as Nails fingernail polish or some such at the critical points, they become just about indestructible. I've got some that I've shot literally hundreds of times! Yes.

I use a cloth padded case. Probably a matter of how much rough treatment the bow gets when not in use.

Yes, you receive one arm guard. You would have to specify if you wanted more than one. You really only need a guard for the arm that is holding the bow, the arm pulling the string back is not in danger of being slapped by the string.

I have purchased them for just that reason. I am using them to hold a compound bow and it seems to do a decent job. Although, other than just fitting them to grasp the bow as best as possible...the real test will be my hunting trip the first week of September
