Samick Polaris Takedown Recurve 62 (28 lb Right Hand)

April 2016: Having introduced my then 9 yr old son to archery 2 yrs ago, he recently reminded me that he wanted to start target shooting again! I myself, learned on a compound bow over 3 decades ago, I was shooting with a 30" draw 55lbs/60lbs/65lbs adjustable Bear Whitetail compound. So, that being said, I was excited to get back into the sport myself. I decided to visit a local big box store to get my draw length remeasured and have a look at some of the new bows.NOW, knowing how quickly sports can add $$$, I set my choices on a budget of $150 or less. I decided to try my hands on some of the more traditional bows, and was introduced to handful of selections. After holding a few recurves, it was time to try one out! I was amazed, as was the gentleman helping me, that I was a pretty decent instinctive shooter. He had me try out a 62" 30# PSE Razorback at 15 yards, and managed a respectable 6" grouping with 6 arrows. Now, mind you, I have not personally shot a bow in over 30 yrs.To make a long story short, I spent about 1 week comparing similarly priced recurves and online pricing, before deciding on the Samick Polaris. I decided on the 62" 28# set up to allow myself to work on my form and accuracy. (I suggest the same for any beginner, start with less lbs and really learn to shoot!) Now, remember my budget decision? Well, I actually found the same bow I shot; PSE Razorback for $50 less on EBay, but was swayed by the better quality, finish, and interchangeable limbs of the Samick brand. I found a decent price on Amazon, and quickly ordered...The bow arrived early, and was surprised how small the package was. It was packed in a brown box with the Samick logo. Each component was bubble wrapped. After quickly inspecting the (4) parts, It took me less than 5 minutes to assemble the bow.Now, what exactly do you get? You get a nicely finished hardwood riser(walnut, hard maple, and white oak), Limbs (hard maple with white fiberglass laminate) and D50 dacron bowstring, and comes with stick-on arrow rest. Unless you choose to shoot traditional - off the riser shelf, there are other arrow rest options depending on your shooting style.The Samick Polaris was ready to shoot in less than 15 minutes, and it was surprisingly light, quiet to shoot, and I found it as accurate as the PSE I tried at the store. I was able to produce some decent groupings at 18 yards after an hour of custom tuning! (see Pics)Now keep in mind, you don't need any of these additional things to enjoy your new bow! But, I already had some idea what I wanted and access to a few things I found on the local clearance aisle. So, here's what else I added; for a sight, since, my eyes were not going to get any better, I opted for an led 3-Pin fiber optic sight, an adjustable launcher arrow rest, a wrist sling, a 36" stabilizer, a peep sight, a D loop and a mechanical release! Once again, you won't need any of this stuff, but based on my previous experience shooting a compound, I found these helpful in quickly getting decent results!Hope this helps...please practice safe archery and enjoy!Update Feb 9th 2017: Upon re-inspection of the bow, I realized that I was sent a 58" bow instead of the 62" that I ordered. That's a big deal when you are 5'9" w/28" draw. Let's hope the supplier will make this right!
