The P.S.E. COYOTE is a 60" take down recurve that has all the features one looks for in a  recurve.  For starters, it has a machined aluminum riser, laminated limbs and choices in draw weights from 40-55 lbs.  The brush camo finish is perfect for any terrain.  The bow is equipped with standard holes for sight, quiver, standard plunger hole for any style of rest and is cut back 11/16" past center shot.  This bow also comes equipped for installing PSE's two-piece quiver. The mass weight is about 3 lbs.  So carrying the bow should be not a burden.  The price tag around $200 is right on target also.

THE TESTS. 

The bow I shot was a 45lb@28" draw. I normally shoot a 27" inch draw and this bow measured out at 43 lbs at 27 inches. Installing a Bohning rubber arrow rest with extension to put it on center line. I used  Easton Aluminum XX75 1916 with feathers and shot a Saunders Fab tab.

The first arrow shot through the chronograph at 160 fps. with the following four at: 157, 163, 158 and 159. So the average speed was 159.2.  Not bad for a light weight hunting recurve. Remember that arrow speed is a combination of bow poundage, draw length, arrow length and weight. Remember too that the longer the draw the more speed you obtain and vice versa.

FEEL:  Something  I am an advocate of is the feel of a bow handle.  If it does not feel good, regardless of anything else, you are not going to shoot well. The grip  with wooden handle was on the small size. My hands are not large so it felt well and should for most woman with medium to small hands.  Definitely a plus.

WEIGHT: Like I said at 3lbs a real conveince on the range, at 3Ds or hunting.

NOISE:   I shot the bow with out silencers.  It made noise I did not like and was a little disconcerted. Then I installed Tarantulas and every one said it was ultra quiet. A little felt where the string touches the string grooves would not hurt either,.

In Summation;  The bow grouped arrows well. It was easy to handle and felt nice. The bow was easy to put together and if you are slight in stature or rugged enough to pull the higher weights this is a bow female or male shooters will enjoy. If in doubt which weight to buy  purchase the lighter draw models.  For around two hundred dollars you will not go wrong.  Hope to see your picture with game you harvested with this bow.
