Title: New Bocote and Birdseye Maple YOUTH Bow!!
Post by: fido dog on December 21, 2009, 05:03:00 PM
So I got this in the mail today. It's from "Santa" for my buddies grandkids. They have had this little crude stick with a piece of yarn the last few years. They are all about 3yrs-5yrs old. They have been shooting since they could. I can't WAIT to see their little faces. It's the 3Rivers Pilgrim Squirt Longbow. 34# AMO 10-12# @16".

It's absolutely BEAUTIFUL! (fun to shoot too.....hehe!)

Anyone know who makes it??????

Cool looking bow, it looks like it's braced a little high.

I was thinking the same thing Mike. It's at 4 3/4" right now. I'm going to call 3Rivers. Although it looks just like that in the catalogue.

I remember talking to the bowyer up at K-Zoo last year - can't think of his name off hand.  Nice guy though.  I think his bows did look like they were braced on the high side but he assured me they were not.

Does 3 rivers keep these bows in stock? I have a 7 year old grandson that would love a bow like that.

Yes they do. Or you can order one from Elk Ridge. Elk Ridge has a wider variety of sizes and poundage.
