Being a traditional bow, the draw weight varies based on how far you pull the string, not what the bow is set up at. It's advertised as 25lbs at 28 inches. Though some sellers list it as 22.5lbs. I'm unable to test it to confirm which is right, and doubt I could tell the difference 2.5lbs might make just by drawing the bow. As an adult I'm tall enough to be pulling it the full 25lbs with each shot. At my 10 year old nieces draw length, she's probably only pulling a little more than 10lbs. This makes the bow good for a broad range of ages and ideal for learning different styles of archery. But, there are also 15lb models available for younger kids as well, that are also a bit shorter and probably a better match for ages 10 and younger.
The bow string comes pre-nocked, with a good quality string that has a serving thickness that seems a good balance for different arrow nock sizes. So far it has worked well with both carbon fiber and wood arrows. I would avoid aluminum arrows with this bow, as they tend to be too heavy. Our bow even came pre-strung with a large paper branding label wrapped around it as if intended for store display. I assume they're now sold that way, unlike some of the pictures from previous buyers showing them to be shipped disassembled, which is better for the bow. Coming pre-assembled should make it easier for first time archery enthusiasts. But, ideally, unlike compound bows, you don't want to leave the string on your traditional bow when not in use to help prolong the bows/strings longevity. Having the nock already properly aligned on the string was appreciated though.
Ours also came with an unwanted righthand bias, in that the left side shelf featured a stick on felt pad. Fortunately, the glue isn't very strong, as you'll want to remove the pad, for more consistency when switching between left and right hand draw, as well as different styles of release (three finger, thumb, etc). Accuracy is not affected by removing the felt pad, even for typical right hand Mediterranean release. If anything it seemed more accurate once removed.
Twin/snake bows are extremely accurate. Or maybe I should say they're consistent, as the bow holds the arrow exactly the same very time. It's as accurate as you and/or your arrows are. And it's great fun to shoot, regardless of experience level.
The bow has held up wonderfully with frequent use over the course of 6 months so far. Fifty bucks may seem a bit steep for molded plastic (or maybe I'm just getting old). But, the bow is lighter than you might think and just about the perfect fit for beginners of nearly all ages. Even my 8 year old nephew, who's not as tall as the bow yet, can use it and use it more accurately than the 5lb compound bow he's had since he was five. But he prefers the compound bow since it's shorter. Of course, most importantly, it's his.
Highly recommended for beginners, young and old.

Pros:
Price, quality, sturdy enough for a beginner to get a lot of practice with. Draw weight is friendly for smaller users.
Cons:
When it comes out of the box you most likely will be disappointed with the aesthetics. It has a cheap look with an integrated grip and no distinct changes to the overall body of the bow. Don't be fooled though, it works just fine.
The arrow rest is small at best compared to a nicer recurve bow that would cost about five times the money. I recommend a little bear hair to help the arrow stay on the rest for beginners.
Overall:
If you are not sure if you are really interested in archery, have a child around 12 years of age, or are tight on funds then this is the bow for you. If you are looking to beat Robin Hood in a contest, then buy something a little better.
