This may not sound like a 5-star review, but I believe the Bow is worth the money. Everything else, including the arrows are add-ons to me. I bought this bow for my 16-year-old son and it is a great starter bow. Well worth the $$$. He has gone target shooting now about 3 or 4 times and is down to half the arrows. But we have bought better arrows and he is having a great time of it. We love our new Recurve Bow.
