Summary: Good Box, Terrible Arrows
Comment: The title says it all. My son loves the bow. It's a little powerful for him, which is exactly what he wanted. The arrows started shedding fletches the very first time he tried them. And the finger grip is little better than stiff paper.
Nonetheless, for the money, this is a good buy.
Customer Rating: Summary: You will like it
Comment: It's strong, gives you the feeling that you're looking for if you're not after a toy. Best range 15 feet, after that it becomes a toy. Within that range you don't invest much ($) and you feel totally rewarded. It comes with 2 arrows, buy more because you'll lose weight going back and forth to collect the arrows.
Customer Rating: Summary: Good, but could be better
Comment: The bow is great, but the accessories are lacking and it comes with only 2 arrows. If you choose to buy this product, be sure to buy extra arrows with it so that you will not run out.
Customer Rating: Summary: Cherokee bow set
Comment: This bow is a great find for my teenage son. He is able to handle it and use it. I think a younger child might have a bit difficult time with it. The bow is very duarble and the same with the arrows. He has spent many hours in the snow with it already. For the size and the tension on the bow I would recommend it for older kids who would like to learn archery.
Customer Rating: Summary: The Right Stuff
Comment: I bought two Bear Cherokee Bow Sets as Xmas gifts. I bought them for my 17 and 11 year-old sons.
We have an archery range near our town. I would not, under any circumstances, allow boys or teens to use this set unsupervised in a suburban neighborhood. These bow sets are not "toys".
The bows are just what I had hoped they would be. These are not "little kid's" bows. If I were buying just for myself, with 40 years of occasional archery experience, I might have bought a bow with stronger pull. But these were just right for growing boys. My older son can use his bow to full effect now. My younger son has some room to grow with his bow ... it is neither too big nor heavy in the draw for him to use now, but he will get progressively more out of the bow in the coming years.
The sets come with a wrist guard, which is a necessary accessory. The finger-grip may or may not be useful to you. The quiver is fun for a kid, but not entirely usefull if you are a serious archer.
The arrows ... well, you'll need more arrows anyways, but these arrows are frankly a dissappointment. Look for arrows that are 2 or 4 inches longer to get a full draw on the bow, and more importantly look for arrows that have genuine feather fletchings, as the sheet plastic fletchings of these arrows don't compress as the arrow passes the guide, causing the rear of the arrow to pitch sideways as it comes off the bow, greatly reducing the arrow's range and accuracy.
I bought a set of a dozen 28" cedar arrows with turkey-feather fletchings to go with the bow sets, and I am very pleased with the results.
It was a good gift purchase, well appreciated by my sons. I am fully satisfied.
