It did still in the box. I need a release and some arrows. Otherwise it is a 4# expensive paper weight
Not that much different than guns after all.
Wouldn't have that problem with a FLINT lock

My Dad used to have a Bear recurve I messed with enough to know which way the point went, but I've never really been into archery.
Good choice for SHTF, it's fairly silent, and TAB "needs" nice fancy arrows .

Being TAB he'll probably make some anyway just to see.
Being TAB I'm surprised he "bought" a bow unless it's composite.
Wood he could probably do better than factory.
