Tactical Recurve Bow Set Black Scout 18 lbs
Modern Construction and Precision Aiming
Unlike basic solid fiberglass bows, this model is a takedown bow. This means the limbs can be unscrewed from the riser, making it significantly easier to transport in a backpack. The riser is made of highly durable composite plastic, which is lightweight and comfortable to grip. The limbs are made of fiberglass, ensuring flexibility and long service life.
What will excite you most about this set is the accessory system, which approaches that of adult sport bows:
- Pin Sight: Helps you learn to aim correctly and achieve consistent shot grouping.
- Mounted Quiver: The quiver is not attached to your waist but mounted directly onto the bow riser. It holds up to 5 arrows, keeping them immediately at hand, and it looks professional.
- Arrow Rest: A plastic rest that guides the arrow during release – a more precise solution than simply resting the arrow on your hand or the shelf.
- Protection: The set includes an arm guard and a finger tab for pain-free shooting.
The bow is designed for right-handed shooters. This means you hold the bow in your left hand and draw the string with your right hand.
History: Why the "Recurve" Shape?
The shape of this bow, where the tips of the limbs curve away from the archer, is not just a design choice. This principle, known as recurve, was already known to the ancient Mongols, Turks, and Scythians. It allows the arrow to be imparted with higher speed and energy even with a shorter bow length compared to a straight longbow. While in history such bows were glued from wood, horn, and sinew, today we use modern composites, which surpass historical materials in many properties and require less maintenance.
Maintenance and Safety
To ensure your bow lasts for years, always unstring it after shooting. If the bow were left strung, the limbs would "fatigue" and lose their power. Never dry fire (shoot without an arrow) – the energy of the shot could destructively impact the bow limbs.
A draw weight of 18 lbs can already propel an arrow at considerable speed. Always ensure that no one is in the area behind or around the target. Shoot only at suitable targets that will safely stop the arrow.

For the start, I recommend purchasing an additional set of arrows with a length of 26 to 28 inches, as two arrows are usually not enough for smooth training.
