Man Kung MK-RB015GN Recurve Bow, 18 lbs, 80 fps

The Charm of Traditional Archery

Unlike complex compound bows, this recurve bow offers a pure, traditional shooting experience. Its design is delightfully simple, lightweight (weighing only 975 grams), and highly intuitive to use. The fiberglass limbs provide excellent flexibility and durability, while the ergonomically shaped plastic riser ensures a firm, comfortable grip. The arrow leaves the string at speeds of up to 80 feet per second (approx. 24 m/s)—an ideal and safe velocity for beginner target practice.

Ambidextrous Design and Safety Rules

A major advantage of this specific model is its versatility: the bow itself is ambidextrous, making it suitable for both right- and left-handed shooters. However, please note that the included arrow rest is primarily designed for right-handed use (holding the bow in the left hand and drawing the string with the right). Because this is a genuine piece of sporting equipment, children must practice archery exclusively under the constant supervision of a responsible adult.

Crucial Warning: Never dry-fire the bow (releasing the drawn string without a nocked arrow). Without an arrow to transfer the kinetic energy into, all the force is violently absorbed back into the bow's limbs. This can cause the fiberglass to shatter, the string to snap, and could lead to injury. Always ensure the area behind your target is safe and features an appropriate backstop.

Maintenance for Lasting Durability

This bow requires minimal maintenance, but following a few basic rules will keep it in prime condition. The plastic and fiberglass components can easily be wiped clean with a damp cloth. String care is vital: apply a dedicated bowstring wax regularly to prevent the fibers from drying out and fraying. If you don't plan on using the bow for an extended period, it is highly recommended to unstring it; this prevents the limbs from losing their natural tension over time. Never expose the bow to extreme heat, such as leaving it inside a hot car during the summer.
