| I bought an Agulla when I needed my own first bow and it is fine. Paint finish chips easily. If you have not finished the beginners course I would advise waiting to buy anything until the club coaches advise you - use the club kit until then. Things change rapidly at first and you don't want to end up with unsuitable kit. I would also suggest trying different risers in your hand as you may not like the feel.

| I have been shooting a samick aguilla know for twelve months, and find it to be a perfect bow for the beginner,as trunkles says it does tend to chip easy. I bought mine 7 months on from the beginners course, it is my second bow. If you have not finished the beginners course you would be advised to wait until you have, then you will have a better idea on what you require.

| I shot an agulla as my first 'proper' bow - still have it and struggle with the concept of getting rid of it! It quite happily took me to first class, and I'm quite sure would have taken me further if I hadn't decided I needed something 'shinier' - certainly a good intermediate.

| My Agulla got me to Bowman, no problems. Outshot a load of shinier bows in the process too. The paint chips easily though.

| My first bow is a Hoyt NeXus. Serving me well, lifetime warranty and such... Club mate got an Agulla, one of the screw bushing came off and he had to glue it back... And yes, paint chips so easily you wouldn't know how it happened |

| I too have an Agulla, although I no longer use it. And yes, the paint finish looks wonderful when it's new but chips so easily that it soon looks tatty. It's about time Samick joined the 21st century and started anodising their risers!

| Hi I bought an Agulla at the back end of July. Quite happy with it, no paint chips (apart from where the limbs fit). A good beginners/intermediate riser for the money. Cheers Martin
