First of all I was worrried buying this package because it said sas sage and not samick. Dont worry, this is a samick bow, says it on the bow and came in a samick box. Other bonus is you get the stringer and for 129 that is a killer deal. The bow is very nice and shoots well. My son was hitting tight groups right out of the box. It also came with two rest (cheapies) and a nock. Mine showed up with a little wear on it , but after contacting woods archery, they accomodated me for it. These guys are great, look for them as a seller. One thing to keep in mind a 40lb recurve is a task to shoot. My son is 19 and works out and that bow tests him after an hour. Make sure you do not get too high of a draw for your kids. His old bow was 32 lbs and that lasted most of his teens. The bow we just upgraded from was a sas spirit. Although that was a great bow and we shot it for years (still working great), this appears to be a much nicer bow. based on what i see we should get many years of good service from this.
