Deerseeker Archery 52" Longbow Traditional Handmade Recurve Bows Ambidextrous Horsebow Set for Adults & Youth Hunting Target Shooting 20-70lbs

Beautiful bow, looks really great shoots great.

When I started buying my own bows, I was very quickly distracted from my path by Asian Composite Bows. I fell in love in particular with Korean composites and they have been my favorites for decades. I had planned my next purchase to be a Magyar, but had always deep in my heart wanted a Turkish bow (I'm originally from Turkey). I'd just never seen one advertised until recently. I saw the Deer Seeker just by chance on Amazon and decided to put the Magyar on hold.It is a fantastic bow. Beautifully made, very light, and oh so powerful for it's overall size. I looks just like Ottoman bows that I've seen in Topkapı Museum. It shoots marvelously and is a pleasure to use. I love to go out in the yard and just shoot until my arms are too tired to continue. It comes with a stringer, which I've never used for any of my other bows(including a 100# English Longbow), but found it really helpful for this one because the recurve is so extreme-much more than either of my Korean bows. This has to be one of the best purchases I've made in a long time.

Pros:LightweightMatte finishYou can get it in 70# - powerful! Love that!150 arrows so.far and has not broken like some of the other reviewsSeems durableNarrow arrow passStiff and stableEasy to stringGood value for the money400 spine 500 gr + are a good matchConsHandle is small and a little odd. Wrapping with hockey tape helpsand that's my biggest complaint so far.Siyahs seem a bit overbuilt but I prefer that to it breakingAll in all a good bow, hucks an arrow with authority. Will update with long term durability review in a couple months

Very sweet shooting and well made bow.. beautiful as well... Shoots straight and where ya put them...Ive bought two others at different # .. very happy and would highly recomend.

Esthetically pleasing to the eye, everything arrived, strung it and as I went to pull back the string comes undone. The string slits are a tad bit to shallow to full draw. Going to file them deeper to see if that fixes issue

I received this bow and when I put the string on it I noticed one of the limbs was splintering, and the arm guard is kinda small and cheep but everything else seems good. Have had a chance to shoot it cause of the one limb but the costumer service is pretty awesome. Got a hold of deerseeker and they said they would send a whole other kit to replace the damaged bow. Will update after the new one comes in.Update:I received my new now with no imperfections. Took it out and shot it about 20 times, feels great and quiet too. It's been some time since iv shot a traditional now like this but I'm glad to have gotten this one. Like I said it shoots like a dream, smooth and quiet. Would definitely recommend, especially with how well the customer service is. Responsive and quick to fix any problems you might have.

Love the bow, but the handle is very small. I added a little sports tape to it. Also the arrows they provide are a little stiff. But the bow shoots great with the right arrows.

The media could not be loaded. I love this bow! It is strong, fast, accurate and compact. It has been great for me to learn thumb draw on, I normally shoot Mediterranean, which I can also easily do with this bow as well. The finish on was perfect, even the risers on the limbs were glassed over. I've read those falling off is a common issue with other budget horse bows. The only thing I would recommend is getting a solid thumb ring if you are getting above 50#. The one you get is good quality but is in the soft stye and you will feel in after a couple dozen shots.As for the Deerseeker company, I have never had as good customer service as I have had dealing with them. I have bought a few bows, the 54" long bow and the youth bow, and I would highly recommend them all. But I did snap my first 70# long bow, and I contacted Deerseeker and they just sent me a whole new bow! That one has been working great for years and I have shot thousands of arrows all while still using the original string.
