Would this be a decent target for archery?

No I would not recommend using it for archery. It is great for pellet and .22lr rifles.

I would say yes. I am shooting about 310fps. I do think a size with more depth may be more appropriate for a crossbow. If it were me, I would purchase a crossbow target to get more shots out of the target. Using two targets might be another option. If you are only going to shoot to sight in and then check occasionally then this target would be fine especially if you shoot at all the different bulls painted on the target. Hope this helps.

I think you could use it for that but it would be hard to see where your pellet went. You can put a paper target over this target with 2 simple golf tees holding the paper up. That would work. I love thus target works great for my bow.

If you are shooting from bended knee it might work. It is a little cramped for bow hunting. You would have to fool a bit with the windows or leave them open which might open your cover a bit. I would go for the two man size for bow hunting - IMHO.

No, absolutely not. This is a GREAT bow for target shooting, but not powerful enough to hunt humanely.

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.

It would honestly depend on strength. It would probably be best to start off with a low weight bow

I am not a golfer and use mine primarily for bow hunting as well as some long ranging hunting applications and it has served me well. The elevation (True Distance) has worked quite well for me but that is bow hunting at 20-30 yards tops. I would think it would work OK for golf as well. It may be a tad harder to lock into the target on long distance on real bright, clear, sunny days; however, it is much more affordable than most and I would reccomend givin' it a try with golfing. I am happy with mine but is for a different use.

Actually I think it would be better for that than standard bow with FP I am using. This thing is seriously tough. Getting the bolts out after the shot will be the challenge so you will likely need a puller.

According to the manufacture discription it should be fine. "Ideal for beginners 8 and up (adult supervision req'd)Designed for young archers new to compound bows"

The crossbow is really good for the price. It's very accurate and shoots pretty good. Well built, easy to put together, and fits both left and right handed shooters. Overall great bow for starters.

I'd guess 'yes,' unless she is very petite. I work at a camp in the summer; my predecessor got little toys . . half the time the arrows fell short of the target; the other half of the time they'd bounce off. Not too satisfying. These are like the bows I remember from my youth, before the safety dweebs got into things. This bow is a good compromise between little toys and expensive compound bows. Not sure of the models, but we also use a 52" bow with a lighter draw, and 60" bows with 20 and 30 lb draws. Safety first--the nock of an arrow will take an eye out as well as the point would, so no running, and no one but the archer downrange to retrieve the arrows. (They can be stuck in the target and pop out, if another person was behind your archer when one did--ouch!)

This bow is not suitable for hunting although with great skill and even more luck it might kill a squirrel. The draw weight is minimal (I purchased it for my 14 year old niece to satisfy her "Hunger Games" obsession) and would only recommend it for close quarter target practice.

This is technically a youth bow, however take into account the draw strength and the person who will be using it. There is a wide range of draw levels but I would make sure that the archer using it is able to safely pull on this prior to purchase.

It depends on the age but it is definitely a simple yet accurate bow and at a great price. The 55-70# is perfect for me but I know someone small or not as strong may struggle with the initial pull back.

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.

If you're looking specifically at traditional archery (meaning recurve or longbow) I would go to any local sport shop and pick up a bow with a roughly 30pound draw weight. This bow here has the right price but I would say that it's for an advanced shooter with experience with more exotic bows. PSE makes one that's a nice entry level bow to get you started. Outside of the bow you'll need a archery glove, arrows (any cheap target arrow should do) and an armguard. Once you've put a few arrows down range and you feel comfortable it will be time to try out heavier weights and more exotic bows like this one. A word of caution, a bow and arrow even at low draw weights is a deadly weapon and should be treated just like a loaded firearm when drawn. Also never ever ever dry fire (release the string without an arrow) any bow.
