I just placed an order with Mike at Maddog for a pup recurve. Its going to be for my four year old daughter (4 1/2 if you ask her). Pink diamond wood with black glass and a red/black string. Its going to be 18# @ 21". Not sure what her draw length will be, but he thought she would be pulling around 8#.
All this for $100! Im not sure how long its going to take him to make this bow, but Im guessing more than 4 hours. Mike is definitely not in it for the money.
Mike also steered me to woodcrafter.com for some cheap 1/4" dowels that make good kids arrows. I got 100 dowels for under $30 including shipping. She is going to be one to me when I start cresting and fletching some little pink arrows.
I can't wait to see it. The dilemma is going to be when to give it to her. The plan now is hold off until her birthday in Dec or Christmas, but I doubt it will be able to sit in the closet that long.
GIVE IT TO HER ASAP
