Deerseeker Archery 52" Longbow Traditional Handmade Recurve Bows Ambidextrous Horsebow Set for Adults & Youth Hunting Target Shooting 20-70lbs

I have been shooting this style of bow for a while now. So here are my thoughts. Mine is a 45lbs @28” I shoot about a 30”draw. So it’s about 53lbs. It has a very narrow arrow pass and shoots very well. I have been shooting about 40lbs. The draw stacks quickly after 28”. But is still smooth. The picture attached is 13 yards shooting at a 1 1/2 inch target. A little right but that is the learning curve. In about an hour I had the sight picture down. I shoot about 150 arrows a day so the curve could be a little different if you don’t shoot as much. I shoot about a 500 grain arrow. I do recommend this bow. It is a little heavy than my others. But the weight feels good. If you are new to shooting these bows I do think that 40lbs is a better place to start. This is worth the money very satisfied with this bow.

Beautiful bow! Really well made, easy to pull, shoots an arrow a great distance. I am using it "Turkish" with a thumb ring and the arrow loaded to the right of the stave and two finger European with the arrow loaded to the left of the stave, both work well. This bow does not have a shelf on the hand hold, so it is abi-dextrose and can be used for both syles of shooting, and both left and right handed people equally. Highly recommended. Designed well, light pull for good amount of range, good for big kids, teens, women, and smaller men. Not a toy.

I have had no problems at all with this bow, it's really good looking and a lot of fun to use. Once I started shooting it properly, from the right side, using a thumb draw, things started going really well. The first bow I bought was of comparable price but this one is much higher quality. I'm just getting into archery so I'm glad I invested into this one instead of giving up due to my prior bad purchase.

I purchased a 65 lbs bow. First thing I did when I got it is measure the draw weight with my scale. It's 5 lbs under sits at 60 lbs at 28. The issue i have is I paid the price of a 65 lbs bow. The price for a 60lbs bow is 30 bucks cheeper.. so why am I paying for a 65lbs bow when it's 60lbs? Other than that I really like the bow.

Pros:LightweightMatte finishYou can get it in 70# - powerful! Love that!150 arrows so.far and has not broken like some of the other reviewsSeems durableNarrow arrow passStiff and stableEasy to stringGood value for the money400 spine 500 gr + are a good matchConsHandle is small and a little odd. Wrapping with hockey tape helpsand that's my biggest complaint so far.Siyahs seem a bit overbuilt but I prefer that to it breakingAll in all a good bow, hucks an arrow with authority. Will update with long term durability review in a couple months

The media could not be loaded. I love this bow! It is strong, fast, accurate and compact. It has been great for me to learn thumb draw on, I normally shoot Mediterranean, which I can also easily do with this bow as well. The finish on was perfect, even the risers on the limbs were glassed over. I've read those falling off is a common issue with other budget horse bows. The only thing I would recommend is getting a solid thumb ring if you are getting above 50#. The one you get is good quality but is in the soft stye and you will feel in after a couple dozen shots.As for the Deerseeker company, I have never had as good customer service as I have had dealing with them. I have bought a few bows, the 54" long bow and the youth bow, and I would highly recommend them all. But I did snap my first 70# long bow, and I contacted Deerseeker and they just sent me a whole new bow! That one has been working great for years and I have shot thousands of arrows all while still using the original string.

Love the bow, but the handle is very small. I added a little sports tape to it. Also the arrows they provide are a little stiff. But the bow shoots great with the right arrows.

When I started buying my own bows, I was very quickly distracted from my path by Asian Composite Bows. I fell in love in particular with Korean composites and they have been my favorites for decades. I had planned my next purchase to be a Magyar, but had always deep in my heart wanted a Turkish bow (I'm originally from Turkey). I'd just never seen one advertised until recently. I saw the Deer Seeker just by chance on Amazon and decided to put the Magyar on hold.It is a fantastic bow. Beautifully made, very light, and oh so powerful for it's overall size. I looks just like Ottoman bows that I've seen in Topkapı Museum. It shoots marvelously and is a pleasure to use. I love to go out in the yard and just shoot until my arms are too tired to continue. It comes with a stringer, which I've never used for any of my other bows(including a 100# English Longbow), but found it really helpful for this one because the recurve is so extreme-much more than either of my Korean bows. This has to be one of the best purchases I've made in a long time.

While not perfectly historically accurate, it is a beautiful and very compact bow.While not advertized to do so, it has had no issues with my 31" draw length in the past 6 weeks and no sign of it weakening for it.The draw is smooth and at 28" it weighs in at 24#, just a hair under the advertised 25#. To me this is not an issue as I mostly wanted a low poundage bow that was ambidextrous to indroduce friends to the sport of archery.The thumb "tab" it comes with isn't anything to write home about, but may suffice, although I would suggest getting a brass or bone thumb ring, or simply forgoing that and using your release device of choice if you're not too hung up on learning a specific type of archery. For me it has done ok with 1 finger over and three under, but I would not risk string walking this bow.I'm not sure if it was suppoaed to come with a stringer, but mine did not have one: keep this in mind and order one like the limbsaver if this is your first bow.

I am quite happy with this. I'm new to archery. It's light and fun to shoot.

Designed after the Tatar bow, it seems like good craftsmanship for the most part, my string grooves were smooth unlike what other reviewers have said. Shoots great. Only problem I would say I have with it is the grip is quite small for a larger hand.

It's cold where I live and haven't had the desire to trudge through the snow to try it yet....having said, this bow is super light, balanced, good draw length and very ornate looking. I purchased the 45# which is perfect for target practice. I will say that if you have big thick hands this bow might not be a good fit for you, I have medium sized mitts so this fits me well, it would also be a good choice for the ladies getting into the sport.

The bow has twisted limbs due to which string is CMG off again and again. Unsafe, unstable and unpredictable. Money wasted
