Where would I find decently priced kids long bows? This would be for a 5 year old, an 8 year old, and a 10 year old. I would like them to be glass backed not self bows if at all possible.
Without a doubt try Mad Dog Archery! Mike is a top notch fella who makes great bows.

I saw some made by Tim Meigs at the Trad Expo West last year that were great. Frank
Black rhino makes really nice bows for youth. just a bit of advice if ur interested if i had to do it all over again i would bought my daughter a good ilf riser an just keep changing limbs as she grew out them -it would been cheaper in the long run...as they say hindsight is 20-20
Elk Ridge.
Another vote for Maddog. I bought one of his longbows for myself. A great bow for a great price. Mike is a sponsor here and a pleasure to deal with.

My daughter has a beautiful longbow made by Mike. He was great to deal with also.
I'll second the Black Rhino Bows. Well made and pretty much kid proof it seems. Chuck is very good at matching the bow to the shooter, too. Google it for their website.
Come across the river and see me. I have a couple Cook's Mtn Archery laminated kids bows in stock. I also have a few 3 pc recurves available.

Maddog. Have put a bunch of his bows in kids hands and they are perfect for them.

We have bought several from Elk Ridge. They really hold up to the kids (ab)usage. My wife shoots a longbow that he made.
