Title: Suggested bow for 6 year old?....
Post by: Sharptop on June 03, 2009, 06:49:00 PM
My niece, who is a good little athlete and seems pretty strong was dying to shoot my Shrew when I was shooting off the deck the other day. Never too soon to get them started is it?

Any suggestions for a good little real longbow for her to start out. Poundage?

Mike sure was a pleasure to talk with about getting my 9 yr. old boys bow.
It should be here today in fact.

i guess i shoould add, if your not looking for a custom made bow, GreatTree youth bows are very nice starters.

My girl shoots a Ragim Ranger. It wasn't cheap, but as a takedown it can grow with her. Also, with a new riser (my oldest is left-eyed, the next one is right-eyed) and/or limbs, my younger kids will be able to use it when they're ready.
