Opinions on JMDict sentences?

Anybody have any opinions on JMdict certified example sentences?

The other examples are usually shit. but some of the certified examples don't seem to bad.

例えば:

I wanted to find sentence and readings for the 弓 Kanji because according to Kanji Stats its not in Nukemarine's Core decks or KO2001.



音読:キュウ
訓読:ゆみ
Heisig: 1231
Heisig Keyword: Bow


Using Kotoba for iPhone ( uses JMDict files ) I got these two sentences.

里さんは週間に弓道をします。
Mr Sato practices archery in the weekends.
My interpretation: Sato does Kyuudou weekly. ( not necessarily on the weekend )

この弓は張りが強いです。
This bow has a strong draw.

As I'm using these sentence mainly for readings and vocab I added them already. However, if most of these sentences are awkward I might seek out other sources. for future references.


Opinions?
