Can anyone give me a review of the black rhino. Was gonna order one for my son. Hes seven
Great starter bow.
Just ordered one. Cant hardly wsit. Hes shot some self bows before so hopefully the consistancy will spike hid confidance..
They are great bows and when I talked to them at Cloverdale this year they said that when you ready for a larger bow you can trade in your old one for credit towards a new one. Can't beat that.
Place that order, you won't regret the decision.
I have purchased several thru the years for friend's kids and they love them.
They are great bows. My wife has one of Chucks bows. Have known Chuck for nearly 30 years, he is a standup honest man and will treat you well.
I bought one for my four year old granddaughter a couple months ago. It's a fine little bow for a kid just starting out, and like DuffyRP said, you can trade them in when the kid grows. Pretty good arrangement for our growing young archers.
TBM just did a review of kids bows. They reviewed the BR
48". The way to get consistency is the arrows, Easton Jazz 1214 for light and consistent arrows.
Chuck builds outstanding adult longbows as well
much more truculent and dangerous than the larger, but docile white rhino.
no huntable populations anywhere in africa now, though.
theodore roosevelt's experiences with the black rhinoceros are a great read.
the big 5 is now a big 4.

Great starter bows! Good quality, good price, upgrade option, can't go wrong. My kids grew up on them.
I bought my sons some of their arrows at Cloverdale. High quality, consistant, and a good price.

They are fine bows and he is good to deal with. Did you know that he sells a light weight bow quiver for these bows as well?
These are really fine bows! I have kept one of them around for several years for the grandkids and others to shoot. Just bought another from Chuck at Comptons. Seems one was never enough as we have some great grandkids coming along and getting big enough to shoot.
Great bows. I have eight grandkids and have been outfitting them with Black Rhinos. I just bought two at Compton last week. One more and they a will have them
We own two...a 15# and an 11# longbows for my daughters ages 8 and 6. Really nice shooting little bows and I also recommend them. The wood arrows they sell fly like darts from these bows too!
We have one Black Rhino. Awesome bow for the kids. The arrows that they sell are great. They fly awesome out of any youth bow that we have tries. Very reasonablly priced. I would reccommend Black Rhino any day.
I'd like to add that arrow selection is very important for starting a kid into shooting...not necessarily for proper flight but they need to stick into whatever the kids are shooting at...this helps keep them interested and excited. The Black Rhino arrows are wood with a real steel point and they WILL stick in most any target even from these lighweight bows. Many of the "youth" arrows being sold have the crimp-on metal points and they bounce off all but the softest targets with super lightweight bows.
Another good way to get them shooting is to blow up some balloons for extra incentive to hit their targets. My girls love shooting at balloons either stuck to a target or laying in the grass shooting from the deck stairs.
