The bow works just as intended. I find it great for a 35 pound traditional recurve, especially after breaking it in per se it is smooth and lovely for a good target bow.!! if you want to get your accuracy down and especially if you’re working your way up from 25 35 50 etc, then there is no other reason then to choose this bow, especially given its price!! I accidentally hit one star last night, and I hope this fixes it rather than the same comment with two different ratings lol!
