This will be great for you if you consider yourself a beginner... budget wise, I found this product very reasonable price...

I bought this for my son and he destroyed the arrows after one day. The bow after one month... Granted he never put it down... But it was obliterated after a good month. It is a good product and for the money well worth it. Just be aware you only have 2 arrows.

Hey Dylan, That bow is probable gonna be way to easy for you to draw...and too small also. A fellow your size (as I am also) Should be drawing around 30 to 31 inches in draw length....and at least 50 lbs draw weight....I prefer the solocam bow types...the ones with one eccentric cam pulley and one very round pulley...these are very stable bows and tend to stay in tune better than the twin eccentric cam bows do... Just about any brand name would work fine...Matthews, Hoyt, Browning, PSE, Bear. This little bow isnt exactly a toy but feels like one in my hand. I would recommend a Matthews solocam bow for you.

My 18 year old daughter likes the bow alot. She is a new hunter to bow hunting so we are not sure yet how she will love it. I have been shooting this bow with her and I like it. Of coarse the arrows are not the greatest but they are good for practicing. We have had alot of fun with this bow so far.

Yes it better then a starter bow.very powerfulla little tough to put the bow string on.comes with a manual..but once you do that you are going to love it like I do.

No, pretty simple bow, but a great buy. You would have to purchase a stabilizer as there is a little bit of vibration on release. You should also invest in a whiskerbiskit as the arrow rest that comes with is not very sturdy. Great bow though. I've enjoyed it and I shoot competitively.

My advise is to go to a range where they rent bows. Have him try out a few of those to see what his ideal draw weight would be. He would need something that isn't so light that it's too easy, unless he is just starting to learn. Also he would need something that isn't too hard to pull. But starting out at 40 is a bad idea.

I got the bow for my 11 year old son. It's a quality bow!! He says you should go with the adult size, so long as you are strong enough to pull it through the maximum draw weight.

No this is not all ideal for a young adult. The bow length and tension are suited to a much younger boy. It's best to go to a sports/outfitter center and consult with an archery department type person who can help you to determine what would work best from the adult section.

This is a great beginers bow but I think your draw length would be too long, you would be better buying one to fit your draw length, bass pro or other bow retail shops like that can help you decide what draw length and what pound draw you can handle

This is a starter bow and sized for kids 7 to perhaps 14. A stature such as yours, would merit a bigger and bow with more resistance. Sorry, i don't know enough to make suggestions.

The crossbow is really good for the price. It's very accurate and shoots pretty good. Well built, easy to put together, and fits both left and right handed shooters. Overall great bow for starters.

Yes, it would be a good starter bow for you. My stepson is 11 and it's just a little bit hard to pull for him.

Sandy, I would not recommend this bow for a 40 year old male. This is a light, 10-20# bow. My son is 11 yrs old, and he uses a 35# bow at his dad's house for hunting. I got this bow for him because it is a NASP approved bow--National Archery for the Schools Program. This is the only bow he can use to take archery in school. I would recommend a heavier bow for your son, especially if he intends to hunt with it.

Yes and yes. neither are high quality, but workable to start. standard archery mounting points are designed in so future upgrades are possible.

It really depends on your strength level. A bow with a fifty pound draw will kill medium size game at a medium distance no problem. But if you are still growing you could out grow this. It really depends on you and you're age

The bow is decent. It plays well (with enough rosin-make sure you put enough rosin) but there are better quality bows out there. This bow is sufficient to learn on, but if you were going to play in an orchestra or something, i would get a better one (and strings too-they both affect the sound quality.)
