Southland Archery Supply Spirit Jr 54' Black Limbs Beginner Youth Bow Package w/Target Sight, Armguard, Stringer & Arrow Rest

I just put it together, and it's all there, and the parts fit where they should!The aiming sight gave me a few problems because I've never had one before. The way to assemble it is to connect all the metal pieces BEFORE trying to put the sight onto the bow in the two vertical threaded holes with the larger screws & allen wrench. The exact sight picture will have to wait until I shoot some arrows into a target so I know what adjustments will need to be made.The limbs fit EXACTLY into the receivers at each end of the laminated wood center portion, and the finger bolts should be tight so they don't move, so tighten each one and then go back and tighten each one again. (Of course, you should put these limbs on before you attempt to string the bow!)A BOW-STRINGER is included: You first put the BOWSTRING on the assembled bow with either the top or bottom loop OVER that limb (NOT in the final position in the grooves at the tip.) Then the BOW-STRINGER goes on, with the one end that fits over the limb covering the BOWSTRING loop that's in the final position and the other wedge-shaped rubber thing on the other limb with the loose bowstring loop and you pull on the middle of the BOW-STRINGER until the bow curves enough to slip the other end of the BOWSTRING on, in position, fitting into the grooves. I used my foot on the bow while I pulled up on the stringer until the bow curved and my other hand worked the BOWSTRING loop into position. If this sounds confusing to you there's probably a demonstration on YouTube. (Doing this correctly will prevent damage to the bow!)There's a little stick-on arrow rest included, but the threaded hole where it goes is for the Other Kind of arrow rest that threads in with a plastic thread and plastic nut that tightens it into the right attitude. The nut goes all the way on the other side to keep the arrow rest from turning. (These are inexpensive and worth getting. I happened to have a couple of these from earlier archery adventures) but the stick-on will do the same thing, only it wears out, or the glue-patch holding it on gets loose. Bow parts are all standardized to the same threads so you can experiment with the ones that work better for you. The arrow rest will deflect the arrow slightly when it passes through after the release, and this can either be adjusted for with the sight or eliminated almost completely by adjusting the arrow rest.The bow is assembled and a look through the drawn bow shows the aiming sight aligned with the arrow rest and the bowstring, all in a line that should produce some accurate results.The only thing left is a way to nock each arrow into the same place, every time because that's how you shoot accurately. There are little brass split rings (not included) that you squeeze tight on the bowstring to capture the nock of the arrow where it goes onto the string: one each for the top and bottom with just enough space between them to hold the arrow. Another solution is to use tape or thread and wrap it until there's a barrier that's less permanent.This is a fine-looking bow with a light draw at 22 lbs. I can feel when it's about as far as it wants to pull back, and that's just about right for the arrows at 26 to 28 inches. A lighter weight will allow you to concentrate on accuracy and proper form which is far more important than just shooting arrows with a much stronger bow.There were no instructions included with this bow. This might be an accident, or there might be comprehensive directions on some website. I knew enough about this kind of bow because I have several just like it that are too strong for a short-range, shallow target situation. There are no local ranges unless I want to drive 20 miles and stand in line, so the solution is a short home range with a light bow and LOTS of Safety Precautions.The affirmation from hitting exactly what you're aiming for is everything. There are lots of instructional videos on YouTube to answer questions you might have and show you how to shoot arrows correctly by eliminating bad habits or things you might not even know you were doing wrong. You'll know when you get it right and the effort to get there is worth it.
