Black Hunter Takedown Recurve Bow, 60" Right Handed & Left Handed Archery Rec...

Amazing performance from an inexpensive bow. I ordered a 35# bow and it checks out as 34# @28" and 36# @29" so that's just as expected and it's easy to draw. Surprising to me was that in doing some bare shaft testing I found it liked 32" 400 spine arrows about as well as some 29" 500 spine arrows. Exceptional arrow speed compared with bows four times the cost. Standard diameter carbon arrows or wood arrows with 11/32" od work best, and it's easy to learn to be accurate with traditional archery methods with this bow when shooting off the shelf using the horse hair rests included. Superior ergonomics for the grip. The string (decent quality dacron) needs some twisting but the bow gets very quiet and smooth at 7 3/4" brace height. Glurak did a nice job of packing this bow with just the things you need for the bow itself and did not include a shooting tab or arm guard. Best price and fast delivery with Prime.

This is the BEST and ONLY good bow on Amazon. No Bella and whistles . Solid shot. Better than ANY COMPOUND OR RECURVE ON AMAZON. And I have tried and broke atleast 4 that I bought from Amazon. YOU CAN HUNT WITH THIS!!

Overall Fairley well made on the important parts: limbs look straight; they secure to the riser straight and solid; string looks like it's well made. No obvious imperfections that would cause it to function poorley. However it draws a bit over 40 lbs @28. The not so important things. Part of the staining on the riser is a bit washed out/faded. Like it was stained before final sanding then sanded a bit too much. A bit more important the string knocks are not sharp but could have been sanded in much better. Will see if it weares on the string. I'm hesitant to work on them due to warrantee. I'm shooting Easton tribute aluminum 1816 arrows with a 125gn point. Three 4" feathers. 31-1/4 inch long shaft. 453.2 gn total weight. These shoot very well with a brace height of 7-5/8" and the center of the arrow knock at 7/8" above the shelf. I settled at that brace height because it seemed to vibrate the least there. Cat whiskers installed afterwards really quieted it down. I measured the draw weight four times at 28" and got pounds: 43.68; 43.58; 43.44. At my drawl length of 26.5" I got four measurements at pounds: 39.94; 40.20; 40.5; 39.94. Granted my scale is a hand held battery operated device that hasn't been certified by the department of weights and measures and a two pound difference in listed and measured drawl weight isn't bad so I'm not considering this a problem.

Bought this for my 20year old son for Christmas. As soon as I put it together...well let's just say mine should be arriving wednesday! I used to shoot my grandpa's old Bear Grizzly( from the 60's) for years, until I broke it(doing the leg-bend method to string it). This bow is beautiful, the photos don't do it justice. I haven't fired it yet, just stung it and pulled it back to feel that old feeling. Well-packaged, went together perfectly, IMHO it's a functional work of art. these guys love building bows. I read tons of reviews and settled on this instead of a Sammick or Sage, and I'm so happy. For the price, I'm blown away. No holes for attachments, but I'm a purist. I did buy a simple stick-on arrow rest(Bass Pro had a decent inexpensive one much like the one I used to use) instead of shooting off the shelf, and bought a Keshes stringer, which works perfectly with this bow. The string seems well-made, we'll see how it holds up. Tiger arrows just arrived tonight. Looking forward to shooting again with my son. P.S. The stringer and arrows also from Amazon, I'm so pleased. Thanks guys!

I searched for an entry level bow for quite some time. I watched a lot of videos and read reviews and finally settled on this one. It was a great balance of price point, design and style for me. I wanted a takedown recurve that looked great and shot great. So I finally got this one and I am very happy with it. Some people may have pieces come in damaged or warped but that's no different than a defective product at Walmart, things happen. I didn't have any of those issues. I twisted my string 30 twists and strung the bow, let it sit over night and shot it the following day. After about an hour of shooting I had to twist the string another 10 twists to maintain the riser height and re-snug the limb bolts but that's to be expected with it being new and getting broken in. I am using no sights, shooting by feel. This bow has made that quite easy as it shoots consistent for me. I use it for target and for hunting, I got the 45lb draw. Lightweight, looks great, shoots great. Everyone that sees it thinks it was more expensive than it was. Thanks guys.

Really nice bow. We got this bow to become our fishing bow, and it is all that is advertised to be. Works very well, is great for beginners, has a very smooth draw and is comfortable at 35 lbs. to hold for just a second longer while looking at those carp and stingrays. It's also very pretty if that is a category for archery, who doesn't want their bow to look great.

Nice looking bow quality build better than expected. One problem,They did not ship a bow string

This is a very nice shooting bow. However, mine has developed several very concerning cracks through the laminations which line up with the limb bolt on both top and bottom. This is only a 40# model, so not alot of stress on the riser. If I could contact the manufacturer, I would, however, I do not see that option.

Great bow 35 pounds . Shooting 500 spline 31” long arrows 50 grain and 150 field tip . Getting 162 fps

Bow arrived packaged in such a way that I don't believe even throwing it at my door would do it any damage. Once opened I was amazed at how beautiful the riser was. I was expecting a lighter silver-gray, but the deep, smoky black stunned me! It was better than I could have imagined. Limbs were wrapped separately from each other and then elastically tied to ensure no bouncing around to damage the matte black finish.

So I picked up two of these, one in Blue stain for my wife and one for me in Black. The Blue one I had to get from a different supplier but the black one, the one I am talking about here, is from GLURAK. I got mine first, it came in a few days before the blue one. When I got it, the first impression was it looked nice, just a beautifully crafter bow, the riser, the limbs, lol the string was garbage but I expected that. Upon closer inspection, the limb fit to the riser is off by about 1/8 of an inch on the top limb. By comparison, the blue one from the other supplier is SPOT on, the fit and finish is perfect, I included a sample of limb fit on the blue bow just for comparison. I am going to try and contact the supplier to see if they want to fix this or not. If not I will go through Amazon to see if I can get it refunded, then I will order from the other guys. I'll come back and update.

I have bought seven black hunter bows. Five recurve, two longbow. Five are from Glurak. Most came in a couple of pounds under draw weight ordered. E.G., 45lbs came at 42.5lbs @ 28" draw. 30lbs came in at 27lbs @28". Measured on a bow scale. Exchanged One 40lbs that came in a little too low, but was fully functional. I make my own d97 flemish twist stings for them. It's super easy. Check out Shatterproof Archery on YouTube. I love these Glurak Black Hunters. Way better than the price point. I can afford any bow I want, and shoot these because they simply work, and I can have spares in case of equipment damage. Also, I don't worry about carrying them through thick terrain, or packing them in pieces. I won't cry if I scratch them. They seem durable. Haven't damaged one yet. I buy an entire bow to get different draw weights. Returned one because the limb pin hole was drilled off centre. Ever so slightly, but Amazon is amazing for returns. I have Black Hunters with Maple limbs, but I prefer the bamboo for sure. I still can't decide if I like longbow or recurve better. Thousands of arrows through each, and love both styles. I shoot 100% instinctive. Brace height does matter on these, so play around with it. It will effect consistency/noise/vibration. Stock string is usable and works O.K. The stringer works. Use it to save limbs from twist. I actually really like the arm guard. I stopped using my expensive one for it. Works and you almost don't know it's there. Really fun, functional, easy to shoot bows that depending on your skill and draw weight will do whatever you want. No need to upgrade. Start with lower poundage than you think and buy a stronger one later on if you're a hunter. I use a 26lbs one every other day and 43lbs for my heavier work. I can shoot for hours with low weight. Heavier, and shoulders get exhausted and take days to rest and recover. I've adapted to different bows and arrow weights for instinctive shooting. An advantage of this price point. Buy one, super fun, and great exercise. 100% recommend.

I’ve had the bow a year now and it has held up great. It looks very nice shoots very nice and is in like new condition a year later. At this price point I couldn’t recommend it more.
