I have always wanted a bow, though have a permanently injured elbow. Is there a bow that does not require much strength to hold and draw? Thank you.

Yes, now that I think about it you can buy a hand crank to cock your bow. Once cocked there is no holding the string. Crossbow would be perfect as long as you got the hand crank. Without that the crank it does take some effort to cocktail the bow. Hope this had helped you

Lisa this bow is not a Good choice for a young archer . It is pretty much a toy . sell it, send it back just get rid of it someway .Go to a Barnett Vortec Jr . youth bow .It is a little more expensive .You can get it here on Amazon , or at your local dealer . It has a real bow string , real sights , and adjustable draw length .It will Grow with your child all the way from practice to real Deer Hunting . Well worth the money !! Easy to adjust draw length ,and Draw weight !!

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!

Sorry couldnt say. I had two bow arms break and sent it back but never got my refund. Buy a compound bow. They are guaranteed at least. These guys ripped me off.

this bow is more appropriate for younger kids, more like 7-10. For a 15yr old I'd be looking at a low end adult bow, maybe 40-60lb draw depending on the size of the boy. A decent take-down bow in the 35-40lb range might be a good option if you are looking at something portable and not compound

A great bow but rather than I respond to your question, get online @ http://www.excaliburcrossbow.com/catalog/crossbow/equinox. it will describe the options. You will need more arrows, string and rail wax. Goof Humting

Hello, I bought it for my nieces 7th bday and its a nice starter bow. It will require a bit of practice and assistance until she gets the motion down but if she's interested I think it is awesome and you should go for it!

Mine just snapped at the tip a few minutes into my first play with it. Snapped like balsa wood. I've never seen a bow do that and it wasn't excessively tight. Not so great.

The hard part of putting the crossbow is stringing it. You need a strong person to bend the bow and you can string 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 have trouble shooting it.

when i got my was brand new. it is a really nice crossbow. i recommend to get the crossbow cocking device and get a pro installed for you. you have to be in really good shape to load the bow with the regular cocking rope! always put bow wax in all your strings and barnett lube wax in the rail!!

Hello,my friend,The draw weight of the bow is about 30 inch(about 75-80 cm).Hope it could be suitable for you.

I recommend a whisker biscuit for recurve. This will not work at all, because a compound bow has the needed down line to pull the rest up.

Yes, it would be a good starter bow for you. My stepson is 11 and it's just a little bit hard to pull for him.

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

This is my husband's crossbow. He says the trigger pull is excellent - no creep & firm, but not hard to pull. He says the trigger pull is like the rest of the bow - he loves it. Best bow he has ever owned.

If you hold the bow in your left hand and the arrow with the right hand, then you need a right handed bow. Yes this is a right handed bow.

Decent intermediate bow. 55 #'s is very hard to pull back for a recurve, however. I shoot a 70# compound, and I wish I maybe got 45-50# recurve. Great bow though, and easy to take apart.
