kids first bow

[irish_redneck]

I know it's not bowhunting...

 

but my 6 year old daughter wants a bow for her birthday... I also have a 2 year old girl and a son arriving 11/11, so I'd rather not get something pink so it can be passed down.

 

anyone have an opinions on what to get?

 

I don't know if one of these is just a $75 piece of junk...... http://www.amazon.com/Martin-Tiger-Youth-Bow-Set/dp/B004SMCV30/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

 

Also don't know if a 6 year old is ready for a $200 bow.

I started my son out on the bear bows available at walmart. This year he has progressed to a browning micro midas. Probably let him shoot that for awhile and move up eventually. Ive never had one of those martins but i also have never heard bad things about em. Ebay might be a little cheaper!

How was the bear bow? Could you adjust draw length and weight?

You can adjust the weight. Did good for him for awhile, basically got him into the basics of archery. It has a whiskerbiscuit on it and came with a single pin sight. For 40 bucks we got our money out of it.

got this for my son:http://www.lancasterarchery.com/samick-polaris-48-takedown-recurve-bow.html

 

figure I shoot recurve so that's what I know how to show him. I like take downs cause I can upgrade limbs, this goes up to 25 my son is 4 and pulling back 12lbs

 

got this for my nephew: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001PO5QW2/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

cause I figured it would be easier as he is two states away and has limited access to instruction, plus his mom isn't the biggest fan of huntin

I got the squirt for my Daughter when she turned 4.  Unfortunately I got pink, but now that my son is 4 he doesn't seem to mind... yet.

Diamond Elite - adjusts 5lbs - 70lbs and 21"-30" draw length. Got one for my son - great bow

 

[irish_redneck]

my daughter is currently an 18" draw :/

Parker bows has a program called The Grow with Parker Bow. You buy the bow and for $50.00 you can keep upgrading the limbs.

I started my daughter out on a Diamond Nuclear Ice. It was a great little bow, but she eventually outgrew it. She now shoots a Hoyt Ruckus.

I started my son out with a Mathews Genesis. Its a great starter bow with a one size fits all draw length 15"-30" and adjustable draw weight 10#-20#. Its been passed all around the family and still going strong!

I was going to mention this as well

[toddyrotten]

Mission Craze. Way adjustable and available in a few colors and patterns.

[MACHINIST]

My daughter has a Mathews Genesis also.Great little bow

[Terry]

My son has a genesis as well. He has outgrown it though and I am thinking Diamond next since that is what I shoot.

[irish_redneck]

Looks like my parents are buying her the brave for her birthday. If she sticks with it I'll spring for the genesis.

i tell you what the browning micro midas is was a great little bow adjustable cams i started out with one used it till 14 years old then pasted it on to my younger cousin. broke a limb opening week of archery called browning told them what was going on had the bow back by friday

 

[TeeBugg]

Micro midas is a great bow. My stepmom killed deer with it and now passed it down to my 10 year old son. He loves it and itll last him a few years.
