Starter Bow?


Recommended Posts

My nine-year-old daughter told me that she'd like to take up bow hunting and join me in the woods when she is old enough. Since her birthday is coming up in a few weeks, I thought a nice junior setup would be a good present and she'd have a few years to get comfortable with shooting before we hunted. Anybody have any recommendations for a good starter bow brand or model?

Thanks!

Check the archery shops, I would think you would want her to get set up right so she is succesfull, one that matches her size and draw length so she can shoot consistantly and not get discouraged and quit, which is what could happen with a bow that does not match her body. As far as brands and such, I wouldn't worry about getting too fancy at this point since you might have to move her up to a different bow before she starts hunting with you if she outgrows this one in that few years time? Anyway, it would be awesome to have a daughter that wants to hunt with you.

Browning micro midas is a good choice. 10 inches of draw length adjustment...no press required. comes in 20-30lb and 30-40 lb. We use it as a starter bow at here at the shop. Works great because of the adjustablity. Got it for my son's 10th birthday...but younger daughter (now 9) also shoots it. The nice thing is that it can adjust and grow with the shooter.

*i've got three in the package, and two on the rack*

good luck...
