PMZ Archery Recurve Bow - Traditional Korean Bow for Right/Left Hand, Suitable for Hunting or Beginner Adults and Teenagers

I really enjoy this bow, I find myself shooting it more than my expensive bows. I hope they are available for purchase again so I can buy a heavier poundage. The 45# I bought is more like a 40# at 28" according to my scale. This bow is nice with barely any hand shock, it would be great for a beginner. Mine came perfectly straight and it looks good for a fiberglass bow. 10/10 this is my 2nd PMZ bow and both are awesome.

At first glance I thought alignment of the bow limbs were completely off. I had to re-center the bowstring and replace it back into the limb nock after every shot; until I applied “kathra” correctly. This bow demands the use of correct and stringent technique. The looks and aesthetics of the bow is amazing. I’m glad its functionality is as great as it looks.

The 1st thing I noticed was the quality. Well, "qualities" rather...1st, the good:The limbs are beautiful. The finish is just about flawless and I love the natural looking wood back. The geometry is aggressive and the bow is quiet, powerful, and has a smooth draw. It is easy to string and weighs next to nothing.Now, the downside:The furnature is all junk. (But it is all serviceable)With the experience I've had so far, my hope is that this is how they made the bow affordable; I would much rather they save money on the furnature than skimp on construction...I replaced the grip wrap with leather, and the strike with ray skin. I plan on making a new string for it as well. The tip protectors seem to be solid, so I won't bother replacing them until I know the bow will last...Things to be aware of:-Wake it up a bit when you get it. There was a faint "snap" sound when I flexed it, and a few more when I strung it. Then, nothing. It's been smooth ever since... (I ordered the 50# and shoot the whole 32 inches)-The tips are not "traditional" and neither are the string loops. It sports a modern "groove" instead of the raised-ridge korean bows are known for.-Starter drug? At $100, it is an oppurtunity to learn form and gain understanding. I think this will last until I am ready to step into a more expensive korean bow...I hope this helps prospective archers. I will update this post if I make changes or the bow gives up on me.UPDATE: I took a few pictures while bare-shaft tuning. (You can't tell from the last picture, but both arrows are going through the 3rd leg of my target stand 🙄)I still shoot this bow occasionally. I took it to Texas and shot it out in the heat and the sun. Still going strong. I see the price has dropped significantly; just get one!

This is a Well Made Bow. You Shouldn’t Listen to these Negative Reviews. This was probably their first Bow, and they didn’t know how to string it properly. Also, not sure why they say it’s better for woman, because it’s so light. MANY of these types of Bows, are extremely Light Weight. Just better for Hunting. Almost don’t even notice it, in the Hand. This is an EXCELLENT, Bow Builder. Hopefully, they’ll continue to offer more Models like this. I will Certainly, buy Every One!

The media could not be loaded. Update (June/2024)I have bought the same type of bow twice already. First time, because twisted bow limb. So I returned it back to Amazon wearhouse. Second time, I bUpdate: Finally with the help from PMZ suggesting to using a hairdryer, I was able to adjust the slightly twisted limb back to center. Now the bow string does not strike string bridge on the left side anymore.It's a small, light weight but powerful bow.I have shot it with TopArchery 350 spine arrows.Prior post:It's me again. I returned my last one because the last bow limb is twisted.So I ordered another one again and this time it is from the PMZ store.However, after I strung this newly purchased bow, it's still twisted to the left at bottom limb. It's twisted less than the last one.It's a good looking and light small bow. What a pity.Old post for previous bowAfter strung the bow, I found the limbs are twisted. The bow tip of bottom limb is twisted to the left.So this might indicate the top limb and bottom limb have different poundage/tillering and limbs are not even strung for checking its quality.What a pity.I really expect this Korean style bow will have a good or above average quality.Update: I decided to return it because the twisted bow limb. I also found out PMZ will not give a replacement if the bow is not bought from their Amazon store. I bought this one from Amazon warehouse, which means it may be a return item then resell by Amazon. But it's still a PMZ bow.Update: of course I can fix the twisted limbs by myself, but I may ruin it by accident. Also definitely will lower its poundages. Most importantly, I didn't get additional discount for the risk of ruin it. So I decided to return it.

This one is short at 48” and at 45 pounds packs a punch. Is very accurate with a nice finish. Love it!

Light and sharper than I expected. Straight and shinny. Well made bow. Can't wait to go back to the range after the rain
