SinoArt Sparrow 54" Traditional Long Bow 20-35LBs Draw Weight One-Piece Longbow Recurve BowRight Hands for Beginner Women Teens

A well made, well thought out bow. The design reminds me of several youth bows I’ve seen, starting with the 1970s-era Bear Cub. The choice of woods is attractive and the rest is nicely crowned. It’s advertised as coming with a stick-hair rest, but that was missing from mine. I used a Bear hair rest I had on hand (see photo) with a 1/8” strip of leather behind it. This provides a single point of contact that allows better arrow flight.This, I think, an excellent choice for a young teen or small adult looking for a traditional bow to learn on. I’d recommend the 20# weight for beginners of any age. It comes with a very nice bow stringer, and I suggest you use it whenever you string or unstrung the bow. While it’s possible to do this without a stringer, the chance of twisting the limbs and ruining the bow is very high if you do it that way.You’ll also need arrows, and for a shooting off the shelf, that means using arrows fletched with feathers. You can use the cheap beginner arrows found in department stores, but if you’re serious about archery I suggest buying a set of Easton Jazz, which can be found at your local shop or various on-line suppliers for around $35/6 plus shipping, or an inexpensive carbon arrow. Last, you’ll need a basic archery tab or glove, to protect your fingers from the string ($10-20) and an arm protector ($10) to protect your arm from string slap while you’re learning to hold the bow.One point to consider: My bow was marked as 20# draw, which I assumed was measured at 28”, the industry standard. But when I measured it, it was closer to 26# at that draw. It turns out that traditional youth bows, like the Bear Cub, were typically weighed at a 24” draw, and that’s how they were marked, e.g., 20#@24”. The makers of this bow have copied some of the classic American designs, but they don’t mark the length. Keep that in mind when you're shopping for a sub-60” lightweight bow.

I bought this bow for teaching archery and it is perfect! It is great for people under 5'6" I'd say. I'm 5'8" and I can shoot it but it is maxing it out pretty hard, still, my shooting it doesn't seem to be hurting the bow and I love shooting it as a warmup before picking up my heavier bow.It fits very well in the hand, is light and nimble, fires arrows quickly and accurately.I recommend the MS Jummper 700 spine carbon arrows with this, they are a fast little arrow at a good price and pair well with this bow.

A very light bow that is great for new archers. Made from laminated wood and some synthetic blackmaterial. Tends to vibrate a little but that's the nature of this style of bow. comfortable grip and a lineardraw, no stacking. I bought this for the wife to get into archery and she likes it.It is listed as the 25# version: at 28" draw it is 27# and at 30" draw it is 29#. So just a little high.Excellent value.

This bow is exactly what I was looking for. It's small and light and at 30# draw easy to shoot a lot without wearing me out. The eoodbis beautiful and has a nice natural look. I was looking for an easy to carry, light simple now with no bells and whistles. They delivered with this bow. I'm getting older and my old 50# draw recurve was just too big, bulky and not fun to shoot more than six to twelve arrows. I can shoot this bow for hours. Very happy with this purchase.

Wonderful bow! I am a brand new archer and this bow is perfect for me. It is lightweight and easy to aim. I really like it and know that I will enjoy it for a long time.

Received a left hand bow ordered a right hand bow. No instructions for stringing but you can fin a YouTube video. Nice bow good quality but I had to return cuz for a left handed person

This is a fun little bow to learn to shoot with. I may add a rest to it since I was shooting off the shelf before. That aside. It's super light and great to carry in the woods.

Good for beginners felt even lighter then advertised but very beautiful design

Stunningly well made and ultra-ultra light weight and simply beautiful bow. Unfortunately, I need at least ten more pounds draw weight to be a happy camper, so I gifted this to a friend. She fell in love with the thing right away. It's pleasant to hold, look at and shoot. Will need short arrows (maybe 28-29 at the longest) and light. It shoots well with 25 gram arrows. 30 gram arrows might be a bit much. You will want to shoot this beauty off the shelf, just so you don't have to stick ugly, modern plastic sights/arrow rests on it :-) Seriously, if you are looking for a light weight, easy drawing traditional long bow (that isn't waay long)... you will be very, very pleased
