Tech Talk
Compound Bow: Uses a levering system--usually of cables and pulleys--to bend the limbs before the shot is taken. It's designed to reduce the force required to hold the string at full draw, giving you more time to aim with less muscular stress.
Draw Weight: The amount of force, measured in pounds, needed to bring the bow to full draw.
Draw Length: The length of arrow draw by an individual archer, it's the measurement of the distance from the string at full draw to the lowest point on the grip plus 1.75 inches. To get this measurement, stand with your arms outstretched, in line with each other, and palms facing forward. Have someone else measure from the tip of one middle finger to another, then divide this measurement by 2.5 to get your draw length.

Review:
This is my very first bow and it is a blast to shoot. It has enough power to go straight through cardboard boxes and even dent cement walls up close. This is probably the most powerful bow you can get before entering hunting level bows. The adjustable sight that comes with the bow is pretty dinky and is basically just a piece of plastic that you can adjust up, down, left, and right. The arrows are made of fiberglass with blunt noninterchangeable tips that aren't too good for taking abuse so it would be wise to get some extra arrows. The forearm guard and archery tab felt cheap, but they get the job done if you feel like using them. I ignored the paper target all together and just used box the archery set was shipped in as target practice. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase.
Warning:
This bow is by no stretch a toy. The bow string has good weight behind it and may harm the user if shot incorrectly so I definitely don't recommended it for small children.
