I just purchased this BOW, I have been reading some of the Q &amp; A on here. Why does some of the Q &amp; A's state bow 19 - 45#... different from listing?

In my opinion, it is because a month or two ago, Amazon's description of the bow was wrong in their text. I called it to their attention and they fixed the text. The bow is rated at 45 - 60 lbs. It would appear they didn't go far enough and failed to correct the Q & A part of their descriptive text. Amazon is a large outfit and they don't always have their ducks in a row. Closer attention to detail is required here. Good luck with the bow!

Sorry couldnt say. I had two bow arms break and sent it back but never got my refund. Buy a compound bow. They are guaranteed at least. These guys ripped me off.

Unlike a compound bow this recurve does not have a set draw length. The archer holds all of the weight of the draw with no let off. The poundage rating on the bow is typically rated for a 28 inch draw length. The poundage decreases with shorter draw lengths and increases with longer draw lengths. you do not need to know a draw length to purchase this bow. I do have this bow and love it. If you want to put a fast flight string on it you can do that as well. I called Martin Archery to make sure.

I do not know....but i do like the weight. I would say medium to medium-Light weight compared to my other bows.

I bought my Takedown Bow because in all the descriptions I found across the internet it said 'right handed only'. I can't speak for those individuals who have adapted it to left handed use and choose to share that information.

Ya, I suppose any compound bows on the market it is suitable. When tested to its 400fps standard, it's not capable!!! If your not shooting over 320fps you can purchase a more durable target that you can fire fixed blade broadheads at for a much lower price!!!

Hello. Your best bet is to contact the seller. I ordered this one in December 2014. Prior to the bow arrival, they contacted me by email. If it's not listed here on your Amazon account. Sold by sososhoot, Amazon Market Place. Hope that helps.

I mentioned the truth 2 youth bow in my earlier reply. I looked back at my amazon order history and saw a bought it in sept 2012 for $309 from reds gear, they no longer carry it and I saw Amazon has it for $579, quite a bit more than I paid. If you aren't getting it for a young shooter their are better deals to be had. let me know if you have any other questions.

I haven't had it out in the weather as yet. I plan to put it to the test this bow season. Last year there were no cold and/or rainy days to subject it to. Here in Texas, October during archery season, the temps are still in the 80's-90's, and dry. I'm confident that it will perform well I those harsh conditions.

My understanding is that the draw weight of the bow is determined by the limbs which are attached. You can modify the draw weight by using different limbs. I bought a set of 30lbs and 55lbs limbs so that I can have my young son use the same bow. We swap out the 55lbs limb for the 30lbs'ers when he wants to shoot. It regards to the description, it was probably just a misprint.

Agree withe the 10 and up. My daughter had another, smaller bow that went up to 20# draw. When she "topped out" on that bow I bought this one for her. It's also good for smaller women like my wife.

I get an avg. of 235fps with my 20in bolts, however my 18's avg. about 243fps. Both of which were equipped with 100gr broadheads. My buddy has the same bow and his barely gets 205fps with 20's. Mine must be special to get what it gets. Good Luck and Happy Hunting

Bows like this don't come in a "draw length", but the poundage they list is usually written at a 29" draw length. So if you're draw length is more than that you will get a lot more than the listed poundage.

Don't know - no info given. Shoot good out of a 30# recurve and a 45# longbow.

The booklet that came with bow, the very last page. Was/is the warranty form that they urge you to fill out ASAP and mail in (with proof of purchase it think)I mailed mine with in the first week (few days)Barnett should back their products, I have only heard praise about Barnett and that they are the Cadillac of Bow makers.Honestly this was my first cross bow, I HAVE no complaints, Great products
