I've read good reviews and personal reviews on the Samack little Angle. I'm probably getting it for my daughter for Christmas. $60 for the set you can't beat too

The Samick Polaris is a good kids bow.  My 9 year old son has one and has really enjoyed it.  It costs right around 100 bucks.

Mike,

That Spike is a sweet looking bow.  Very nicely done.

Bought my son a samick polaris and we cant get it to shoot accurately at all.  Its all over the place but the bow looks nice i guess.

I build the Spike from Actionwood in brown or gray.The Spike will grow with the young shooter.As they grow in draw they gain in pull weight.

It's a pity I cannot supply the riser material in a different colour brown & grey are not very appealing colours for an eight year old girl.

I bought my 8 year old daughter a new Samick Polaris from 3 Rivers last year and she does great with it.

I have the Samick Polaris's for my girls 7 and 9

I started them out with light limbs 12 #'s for form

They are up to 20 # limbs now

Nice option are inexpensive limbs
