I got something called a Kaimei Qin with arrows &c, I could only afford a cheapy, so I bought what I thought, was a similarly specced to, and what looked like, a good one if it was from the USA.

Axle-to-Axle:30 5/8"
Bow Length:35.4"
Bow Riser Material: High strength aluminum alloy
Limb material: Reinforced composite
IBO speed: 329fps
Draw Length: 16-31.5"
Brace Weight:7.25"
Draw weight: 30-70lbs (adjustable)
Let Off: 80%
Arrows:30" carbon arrow SP500
Camo finish

I think I'll dial it back, to about 45~55 lbs until I get good at it, then make it stronger.

I'm in Auckland, but I get around the North Island a bit and often see turkeys and hares and even goats and pigs on the roadside verges in the dawn.
