May have blackslidden!
I love to build bows but as most of you know I am suffering from health issues. This is that time of year when I begin building or at least making plans for it. Last two years I have had to use Kenny to build me a bow blank to finish. Well I may have finally went totally backwards this year, I just ordered one of those cheap Chinese bows I see so much hoopla about, probably not much, but under $100! I realize where it’s from and all, just got curious looking and in a moment of weakness hit the Amazon order now button!

We all have those 'button-pushing moments'...we'll overlook it just this once as long as you give us a thorough review.
Looks like a nice R/D design.

How many bows does one man need? At least one more.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Re: May have blackslidden!
I sure needed one more! (Not all of them)

They seem nice. Been thinking about picking one up myself. Been iching for a new production bow or two.
Nothing clears a troubled mind like shooting a bow.

Very impressive for a cheap China bow, pouring rain so I didn’t get to test drive.

Twig archery has a spitfire recurve I have been looking at.It's hard not hitting the buy button.

Mine is 40#, feels lighter to me, but they are probably right.
