I've been shooting Archery and bow hunting for 30 years and I'm still on a budget, I'll never pay top end prices for a bow. I've never met a deer that cared whether it was shot with a $300 bow or a $1400 bow lol.

My Junxing bow is brilliant, that new one looks awesome !

great video. loved the inset which allowed me to see your follow-through and how the arrows landed at the same time.

Budget bow is becoming more and more amazing

I bought this bow as my first bow and I love it the only problem I had so far is the paint bubbling I have shot it quite alot in the month I've had and I love it and I think I shoot just as good as other people who have started learning on very expensive rigs its tempting to buy another setup for 280 buks just to have as it as a spare its brilliant I was inspired to buy it by this video cheers m8 I wish I found my love for archery sooner

Looks interesting I would like to see more videos about this bow I think it have a lot of potential

What a great businessman... cheers

Hi Steven, thx for the review! Wich compounds would you recommend for a beginner with a 31.5" drawlenght in the budget to 600 US dollar range? I am a traditional archer with recurve and hybride longbows and want to try a compound. I would like a hunting type package compound to learn to shoot this style. Kind regards and thx. ps I subbed.

Thank you for this video doing the maths my Drawlength is 32.5 (203 CM tall with finger to finger at 205cm 80 Inch for Americans) so I was going to sub 1.5" draw Length for a cheap bow. I wont do that now since it may only go to 30" (Not doing Tournaments or anything just shooting around at my mates house) but I want a good feel when shooting

I have a junxing and it's good for what it is. Set your expectations according to the price, 300 bucks, get this or a bear or a pse. If it's a concern spend twice the money for 3 times the quality...

I'm undecided between this and the Topoint T1, looking at both of your ready to shoot packages, is the extra money worth it?

Mate will you guys be getting in the 109e that can shoot ball-bearings and arrows?

Do a review on Junxing f161 recurve.

Do you guys get EK Archery equipment in AUS? They’re budget, I wondered if you’d tried them?

Can we buy this Junxing Max 7 for target shooting purpose? How safe is it for target shooting?

Hi Steven, would you rate this bow at 300fps? Interested in purchasing one for hunting.

I do target archery as a hobby in Turkey. I bought the 'Junxing Max7' Compound Bow in the past months. It is really stable and has beautiful shots. I added a short shorts video to my KZread Channel, those who want to examine it can look for shots.

I'm only 6 months into recurve and I started using my oldest son's recurve bow (he stopped due to university and a girlfriend). I enjoy simply shooting and practising in the club. I tried a compound in the club but the high cost associated and certainly for any add-ons like sight and arrow rests do put me off. I decided compound was not for me. But below 300$ I could consider a compound in a couple of years when I've outgrown the recurve - if ever.

Hi mate I see your bow is not wound down all the way for the speed test will this not effect that? Also can I buy replacement bowstring for max 7 from you?

I agree its amazing for $200, and looks perfect for the beginner archer. People complaining and compairing it to a bow 10X the price need a reality check. The fact that most of the things you'd like to see with this bow, is the same thing you say about big name American bows. Even the cams being out of time, you did a video on a $1500 bow that was also way out of time. Having said that I personally wouldn't buy one, but certainly recognise the value and appeal.

Will be a bit faster if you crank the limbs down tight. But still I'm thinking it would only hit the 270s

I bought the M128 and had it on 31" draw. I then bought a Mathews at 31" and yes the Jinxing feels shorter but I wouldn't say more than half inch.. the issue with the M128 was the cam lean that couldn't be tuned. This bow with yokes looks like the revised version. BIGGEST issue with these bows are the strings.. they last about 4 months max and fray like crazy and the serving seperates. The solution? New strings cost me $30 from Junxing haha they're still crap but for the money these bows are fantastic... Matthews copy obviously and they've done well. Best bow to start your compound life.. very happy with them. Also wound tight I think they certainly do get to 70lb!

With a recurve bow, you can untwist the string to reduce the draw weight slightly, but this will also affect your brace height so you don't want to change it too much. If you need to adjust it by more than a pound or two, you'll need to get different limbs. I hope that helps.

Nice :) At that price, nobody should really need the benefits explaining to them too much... It's just such a cheap way into the sport that it makes it incredibly accessible. Might even tempt some trad or recurve folks to pick one up as a curiosity. Hell, it's surely a go-to for anywhere looking to have a few loan bows ready like a club or archery gym. Minimal effort to tweak and away they go. Even if dry fired and wrecked, it's hardly big expense. Perfect to learn on.
