Ontario 8697 Archery Longbow Review

Ontario 8697 First Impressions

"Bow in great shape."

I'm already shopping this seller again, the proof is in the bow. Unless you are an expert with Asian style, full recurve bows, use a bowstringer! The riser is black enamel painted birch and has a good feel and balance to it. Very little hand shock and very smooth overall. Bow feels good in the hand and arrows have removable tips. If I had a place to shoot inside, I would never give this little beauty back. It seems to really like carbon arrows spined at 400-340 with a 175gr point.

Ontario 8697 Final Thoughts

"All I got was THE Bow."

If anything put your name on the inside of the bow. I have no idea what the material is, but it appears sufficiently strong and durable. I rated this 5 stars because it is great quality for the price. Unless you are an expert with Asian style, full recurve bows, use a bowstringer! But as of right now, the bow is beautiful. If anything put your name on the inside of the bow. I was getting good groups at 7 and 10 yards.
