KESHES Hunting Bows

The KESHES 62" is one of Amazon's perennial best-selling takedown recurves, chosen here over the TopArchery alloy-riser bows because its review base is far deeper and its wood-riser, Sage-pattern format is better suited to traditional hunting. KESHES leans on the claim that it's built in the same factory as the Samick Sage, and the bow backs that up in the hand: hardwood riser, fiberglass-laminated limbs, pre-installed brass bushings for a sight, stabilizer, plunger, or bowfishing reel, and a 14/16-strand Dacron string. The kit adds a stick-on rest, stringer tool, and basic sight for around $90, undercutting the Sage itself. Limbs run 15-60 lb in 5 lb steps — the 15-25 lb options make it a family/trainer favorite, while 40-55 lb limbs turn the same riser into a legitimate deer bow, though reviewers note the manual is rough for true beginners and the accessories are throwaway grade. At roughly 2 lb it carries easily, and a 29" max draw suits average frames. Community sentiment (Amazon reviewers, archery blogs) is consistent: shockingly good wood and finish for the price, reliable customer service with a money-back guarantee, but budget for a real string and rest before hunting season.
