Takedown Recurve Bow for Adults, 30–35 lbs, Right or Left Handed, Black – Anchor & Arrow Next Step

A takedown recurve bow at 20 lbs with matched arrows, an arm guard and finger protection. That's exactly what the First Draw Starter Kit contains.

Easy to start, satisfying to get good at. With the basics — stance, anchor, release — you can reach the target in your first session. Getting your arrows to group takes a few weekends of practice.

Yes, to get started. Our setup video and beginner guides cover the essentials. If you catch the bug, a local club or a taster session is a great next step.

Not at all. Archery rewards patience and technique more than strength, which is why so many people take it up as adults. A light 20 lbs bow lets you learn at your own pace.

Less than most people think. A complete First Draw kit is £99, once. After that, the only regular cost is the odd replacement arrow — no club fees needed to start.

Yes. Archery is a legal sport across the UK, and you don't need a licence to own or shoot a bow. Two rules matter: shoot on private land with the owner's permission, and keep every arrow inside the property. You are responsible for where your arrows land. Using a bow to kill or take wild birds or animals is a criminal offence under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Our garden range guide shows you how to set up a safe space, with a solid backstop behind the target.

Yes. It has an arrow rest on both sides, so the same bow works for left- and right-handed archers.

Start at 20 lbs if you've never shot. Choose 30 lbs if you've tried archery before or want to shoot longer distances.

Yes. You have 30 days from delivery to change your mind. Email contact@anchorarrow.co.uk and we'll send you the return address. Items must come back in their original condition, with all parts.

Yes — every bow comes with a 2-year guarantee against manufacturing defects. If a part fails through normal use, we replace it. Not covered: dry-firing (releasing the string without an arrow), which can damage any bow, and arrows broken on impact, which are a normal part of shooting.
