Siege SAS 55 lb 29'' Compound Bow w/ 5-Spot Paper Target

You can look and look but it will be very difficult to find a bow of this quality in this price range. Between my roommate and his wife they have 5 bows. 2 compound hunting types which go up to very heavy draw weights of 70Lbs or so, and 2 recurves and a long bow. I started archery because of the both of them. I used their compound bows for a while and got rather good with them and I began looking for my own. I didnt wanna spend $400 on a bow like they had my first time out. I did know that I wanted a compund bow with a decent enough draw weight to hunt with. After visiting the local bass pro a few times, and looking online for something for a while, I really just didnt see what I was looking for. I don't even know how I came across this bow but I'm more than glad I did! It was exactly what I was looking for! I rather fancy the traditional shape of bows but love the power you get from a compound cam system. The sights and arrow rests really suit me as well. Welll... I should say common types found on compound bows. I can't tell you much about the arrow rest or drop sight that came with this bow because I ordered an upgrade kit at the same time which included the tri-pattern brush arrow rest, 5 pin sight with light, peepsight, stabilizer, d-loop material, and a bowsling for $42!! The kit I bought didnt come with a string silencer but its ok...the bow doesnt have a place to mount one^.^ It has a rather satisfying, and powerful "Thunk" when its shot. This bow impressed my friend who has been practicing archery for 10 years! He didnt believe what I paid for it!! He also said its a great starter bow that will also please an advanced shooter. It has impressive power at the high end and can be turned down for someone who isnt used to a heavy pull. This bow is WELL DESERVING of all the bells and whistles I threw on it and instantly became a monster!! I was happy with the purchase of the bow alone but with all the goodies slapped on...The odds are certainly ever in my favor. *UPDATE* I'm pretty sure with a bow press the draw length is adjustable!! The cam has 3 slots for the string cable to lock into and it comes preset to the middle slot. Not much room for variation as you get 3 choices. The draw length window on this bow is a very common size and with the adjustment up or down 1 notch in length im sure it would fit most anyone^.^ **UPDATE AGAIN** I got my portable bow press today and the draw length IS ADJUSTABLE! As stated before it has only 3 notches in the cam for the length of pull but one of them should work just fine for anyone strong enough to pull it. Upon taking it apart I learned a lot about this bow! The way its strung is pretty simple, and now I understand how they work! The draw weight adjustment loosened up SLIGHTLY when it wasnt under any tension and I was able to tighten it a little bit above what I could while it was. I have yet to test it out as I have to re adjust my peepsight and D-loop before I can shoot. What a purchase though! LOVE this little bow for its uniqueness, accuracy, and power! and PRICE! ***Yet another update!!*** This bow keeps getting better! Among other goodies I have in the works for it....I picked up a string silencer that mounts very easily to the cable guard rod!! This bow has a serious kick and is a bit on the loud side compared to other types. Not only is it now practically mute... its more accurate and the arrows are a bit faster! Less kick too! I would highly recommend this device plus an oversized stabilizer which I have on the way for VERY cheap. Will swap the standard lightweight one that came with my kit for a larger and heavier one, adding a lot of balance and stability, as well as even more noise reduction and accuracy. Bravo This bow!

Bought this bow to shoot with my son, who just got his own awesome cheap bow. I have had very limited experience with archery, though I shot a good compound bow a bit, 30 years ago as a camp counselor. I don't hunt, so this bow will only be used for shooting targets at the local range. I bought a cheap accessory kit (Techridge), economy 30" carbon shaft arrows (Pointdo), and a cheap release (Elong). Installed the accessories (pic 1), using a Nock set T square to line up the 3-point brush arrow rest and D-loop. Never did any of this stuff before (thanks YouTube). Set the bow at it's lowest draw weight (4 full turns counterclockwise on the limb bolts), which according to a digital scale set the bow at about 42 lbs.Shot the bow for the first time today. After setting the (cheap) sight (thanks YouTube), I shot ten sets of 5 arrows at 20 meters. I never missed the target (standard 24" I think), almost always put 3 of the arrows in center circle, and twice put all 5 arrows into center circle (example pic 2). Moved to the 40 meter targets, figured out which sight pin to use, and put the vast majority of arrows into the target, with a few bulls-eyes (example pic 3). Moved to the 70 meter target (I think this was bigger, maybe 30 or 36 inch), shot 5 arrows to figure out targeting (at 42 pounds, none of my sight pins could be used on the target, so I had to aim my bottom pin about a foot above the target), then was able to put 3 of the next 5 arrows into the target (pic 4).I bought this bow because it was the cheapest bow with a 29" draw that I could find. I didn't care if it was more of a challenge than a higher priced bow, I just wanted to have fun with my son shooting at targets. I'm no archery natural or savant, I have just a basic understanding of posture, anchor, and sighting, and had never used a mechanical release before, yet I could shoot like this? That's how good this (cheapest 29" draw) compound bow is. It's just crazy accurate, at least it is for me. Can't wait to shoot some more.So, some CONS: 1) The bow string at the arrow nock point is wrapped with thread, which I assume protects the string from wear, but it's too thick for the arrow nocks. The arrow nocks were so tight on the string that I actually shot the arrows out of their nocks (the nock was still hanging on the string). I widened the nocks' with a coin, and that helped, but still, I think the wrapped string is just too thick.2) The bow vibrates when the arrow is released, and makes a pronounced "boing"! Another guy on the range had a very expensive compound bow, and it had a sweet "swish" sound at release (his bow case probably cost more than my bow). If the sound of the bow is all I have to put up with to keep from having to spend more than 100 bucks, then "BOING" it is.

I read many reviews and video reviews on YouTube for this bow before I purchased it from Amazon. The bow arrived in a box, wrapped in bubble wrap. It included everything shown in the reviews. I was looking for an entry level compound bow that I could use for target shooting and occasional hunting- I have no interest in competitive archery and I have no desire to pay for a high-end bow, but I will want to hunt occasionally. My experience is almost exclusive to recurve bows, so this is my first compound bow. This bow is SOLIDLY BUILT and has plenty of power for hunting. It meets all my requirements. For this price you can't go wrong. I have added a whisker biscuit. There are bored out, threaded holes for other accessories. I recommend this bow for hobbyists looking for their first compound bow. I'm very pleased with my purchase. No remorse. SAS is great.
