New OEELINE Aerobow Recurve (Out of the Box) Review |

I purchased this 62 inch OEELINE Aero-bow takedown recurve bow (50 pound) brand new for $115 dollars, WOW! Is this cheap junk or a great deal? Current reviews are very positive, so lets see…

I own a Samick Sage 45 pound take down bow which is very similar in design. I have been practicing with the Samick for almost 3 weeks and getting into shape. I really want to shoot a 50 pound recurve bow for deer and hog hunting, hence the new purchase. The new Aero-bow comes with an armguard, finger tab, Stringer and of course a string and 4 brass knocking points. (I own a knocking point tool) The bow did not come with any arrow rest. So I bought an arrow shelf rug and fur string silencers separately.

Note: I am not fond of the stringer device that came with the Aero-bow. I prefer a stringer that attaches tip to tip. I did purchase a rubber slip on limb tip protector to protect the lower limb tip from damage.

DAY 1 – Like all new bow strings, they stretch. So once your bow is strung measure the brace height. Mine was 7.5 inches which is good. I shot the bow and remeasured the brace height at 6 inches. I expected the stretch. This bow needs a 7 to 7.5 inch brace height. Unstring the bow and twist the string a dozen times to shorten the string. I turn the top loop end clockwise. Restring and check the brace height again. I had to turn the string many times to get the brace height back to at least 7 inches. Shoot it again or leave it strung for a few hours to stretch the string. Remeasure and adjust. You may have to do this more than once, till the string settles in. And be sure to recheck your knock point! So far the bow strings and shoots well. Very comfortable in my hand. Very little vibration, nice!

Since I have been shooting the Samick Sage at 45 pounds, the extra 5 pounds of the Aero-bow puts a bit more weight on my back muscles at full draw. I practice to achieve a true full draw, but stop shooting when tired. It will take a week or so of close target practice shooting to build strength in my back muscles and achieve good form.

Arrows, should be spined for the bow draw weight and arrow length. I like a helical feather design especially for broadheads. For hunting, I focus on traditional cut-on-contact broadheads.

A New Hampshire Granite State 3D Shoot is coming up this Sunday. We shall see if I am ready.

Good Shooting!
