As I said in my original review, the bow is amazing and I highly recommend it for someone looking to try thumb draw. I've been shooting it every couple of days and have a blast every time. Original review: I was skeptical when the box arrived cut in half and taped back together with a 1" gap. The bow was undamaged in a tied bow sleeve and then taped bubble wrap. But no string. There's a rubber band around the one of the bow limbs where I suppose the string would be but no string. The only reason for the 1 star review since I could not shoot the bow out of the box. I don't think the damaged box is to blame since the bow was still "sealed" in bubble wrap and the bow sleeve. Very disappointing to not be able to shoot the bow right away. I have two other bows, but they western recurves so I did not have a compatible spare string. desertcart's policy for a missing item is to contact the manufacturer or do a return. I reached out to AF Archery's contact page, but have not yet heard back. If I do, I will edit this review and my 1 star rating. I ended up ordering another string from desertcart, thankfully they carry a string specifically for this bow. Received the string today and yes, I fell in love with the bow on day 1. This is my first tatar, my first time trying thumb release and it has been great. The bow is #28 at 28", close enough to the #30 I ordered. at 32" it's very close to #35. I use a wall mounted jig to string my recurves and this bow fits as well, although the limbs are much more forward from the handle. You can really feel all that stored energy when you string it. I shot about 120 arrows with a thumb ring and had an absolute blast. Only missed the target twice at 10 yards, which I consider an accurate bow for a first time thumb shooter. I've been shooting instinctive for about 2 months and it translated very easily to shooting thumb release on this bow. Draw is very smooth up to 32" inches. I shot mostly from 31" since my form needs work, but it was very comfortable. I shot about 10gpp (340 grain arrows, 600 spine) and yes there's some hand shock. Not terrible and didn't feel overly uncomfortable in the 120 shots I took. Fit and finish look perfect. The glossy coat is a fingerprint magnet, but looks beautiful after being wiped down. The handle takes some getting used to coming from "pistol grip" recurves. I highly recommend this bow for a beginner or someone wants to try out thumb release. Very intuitive bow. Sounds amazing on release, much more satisfying then my western recurves. I would buy this bow again in a heartbeat, may get a second one in higher poundage after I get my form down. You can't beat the price for a well made laminated tatar. Such a shame it was missing the string. Review: Awesome quality - Why did you pick this product vs others?: I've never shot a bow in my life and bought this to start a new hobby. Excellent build quality, feels great in the hands, and after watching lots of how-to videos and a few days of practice I'm actually shooting pretty well. Totally worth the money. ## Features - [Premium Quality Materials] The bow handle and tip are made of maple wood.
