My middle daughter is really starting to get into shooting.  She is 11 and of average build.  Currently she is shooting a Genesis at 20 lbs.
I asked her today about moving to another bow.  I gave her the option of a compound, longbow, or recurve.
Bless her heart, she said, "those compound bows are strange."  LOL
So, I'm in the market for a kids' bow that ain't got wheels and is somewhere around the 25-30 lb range.
With 3 kids, I'd like to keep cost reasonable ($200 or less).
Recommendations?

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.

Mike at Legends Bows makes a great kids bow, I think for about 250.00. Check out his website and call him.

Just got a Spike from Mike Rash.  My daughter is 11 and she loves it.  Mike build a full blown recurve that looks very much like dads.  250 bucks - you cannot beat it.  Let me know if you need more details.  

Search for thread "this is what it is all about" for more info and even a pic.

I have a bow but may be too large for her...I bought for my daughter when she was 13.....37#@24 and is 64" long...daughter was tall for her age.  I would let it go for $125 if you wanted it...

Though I think a smaller bow would be better....or maybe a 52" Browning recurve around 40# at 28 should be about right for her.  Can pick one up for $75-150 usually that is in really good shape.
Keep em sharp,
