Is this a good bow for a beginner 19yr old male?

PSE Makes thI would suggest the PSE Razorback XL model. Only because the XL model has an extra long riser that I personally feel and fits better and is better suited to adults due to size. This is the very same bow with a longer midsection and is also available in various pull weights.

Yes. Other bows have greater draw-weights, but this is an excellent bow for a beginner who just wants to learn aim-and-shoot archery.

Its a great traditional bow for a beginner. The draw weight is low enough to practice frequently

I'm new to the sport and purchased this solely for target shooting on my rural property. It is a great beginner bow per the local archery shop reps I spoke with. I would STRONGLY recommend you also order the cocking device. It's very strenuous to load the bolts and well worth the money. You will also want to buy a target. There are many options available from square bags of assorted sizes and densities to game animals (hunting decoy type). Hay or cardboard targets will damage the bolts severely. Also, Amazon has the best prices by far on bolts (arrows) and cases. Lastly, the red dot scope that comes with the bow in some packages is VERY basic. I would definitely upgrade it and pay the few bucks to have it professionally sighted at a local pro shop. Hope this helps.

My seven year old does well with this bow and the pull isn't to hard. I think this bow would be great for 6-9yrs of age.

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

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.

My advise is to go to a range where they rent bows. Have him try out a few of those to see what his ideal draw weight would be. He would need something that isn't so light that it's too easy, unless he is just starting to learn. Also he would need something that isn't too hard to pull. But starting out at 40 is a bad idea.

I would say probably yes. If he's a beginner, and this is his first bow, then this one is definitely the best you'll find for the money. If he has experience with heavier bows, this will seem like a step backwards--but otherwise, it's an excellent starter. From experience, I can say it's more powerful than it looks. Just keep in mind it doesn't come with a bow stringer, which is needed to install and remove the string, so it won't be usable out of the box without one. Good luck!

If I were you, I would buy a bow with a stronger draw weight so that it can grow with you. It would be ideal for you now, but you will get drastically stronger over the next few years, and you will wish for a stronger bow. I know that for the price, this one has nice features, but I would recommend spending a bit more and getting a better bow. You aren't a beginner, so you will be left wanting for more with this bow.

i got this bow for my son when he turned 7. size wise, it fits fine and he enjoys it. i'd say the child's maturity and the parent's supervision is the biggest factor.

It's good for any beginner! I am 18 and I just started and I'm a bit late in the game but! Yes, in my opinion I think it's great! I bought this violin knowing nothing about this instrument and I picked a great choice!

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.

Yes it's a great beginners violin for all ages. Good quality for the price. Has a great sound.

No, the draw weight is too light and the sights are too basic. I would recommend a Mathews Mission Menace for an adult female starting out. Starting weight should be around 30# minimum. That's the bow I started with and love it! For an adult male just learning to shoot a bow, I would recommend the Mathews Mission Craze or something similar. This bow is great for a pre-teen thru young teen to shoot. It's actually a little heavy for my 7 year old. She will grow into it very soon though!

It is a good beginner bow for children to learn how to use a compound bow and sights. My nine year old granddaughter was able to use this bow very well. I believe it is worth the money.

I would recommend if you just want a bow to shoot at target. Not difficult to draw back and aim. I purchased for my 10yr old last year. It's really a beginners bow, not for hunting.

no it is not,,as an adult's draw back length is longer than a youth,,your best bet is to go to a sportsmans center and have your draw length measured,,the limbs on this bow may explode if pulled back too many times by an adult as you are exceeding it's max draw length

We purchased it for our 8year old daughter who had difficulty at 1st but is now shooting arrows with no problem. That being said, I tried it when she first got it and it was difficult for me to shoot it and I am a 40+ active female. It is good quality so I would say yes it is good for an adult starting out.
