My 10 year old daughter just announced she wants a "wood" bow for Cristmas. She wants an R&D profile longbow (like Dads). She has been shooting for some time now. I'm sure she could handle 20-30#s at 24". Sent an e-mail to Mad Dog already. Most of what I'm finding on the net that I can afford is solid fiber glass. Anybody out there making a wood youth bow that wont break my bank? Thanks

Give Mike at Maddog a call.  He is a sponsor here, has great prices, makes a great bow and is a heck of a nice guy!

I aggree with Lefty, Mike makes a great bow, fast and smooth, great bargain too!

Try Elk Ridge Archery. They make some nice wood bows for kids.  My really like shooting his!

Thanks for the responces. Mike at Mad Dog has already said he cant get it done in time for the holidays. I knew it was late and dont blame him in any way. She and I looked at the Black Rhino line and she is not to fond of them. I think it was the black glass. 10 year old girls can be a bit per-snick-ity. I think she would be just as happy with a "D" style longbow. I just dont have the skills or tools to do this myself. I'll look at Elk ridge. Thanks again

Black Rhino keeps bows in stock especially at Christmas. I think they are the best youth bow on the market.! My opinion.
Give  Chuck Jones a call 618-283-3954
www.bows.net.   You can't go wrong with his bows.They also have a trade back policy when the child is ready for a larger bow.

Don,

I agree with all the above. They are great choices. I do have a new Dryad Pheonix Lite in stock 23#@26"-54". Yew with maple limbs. Great little bow for the money. 250.00. No wait, no down time. Let me know if I can help.

Heck with it. Getting close to Christmas. 210.00. I'll pay shipping.

Try Lynn Harrelson down in south Alabama, i know he told me that he would make my daughter a bow but im not sure if he advertises that he makes kids bows.

Thanks for all the advice

My 5 year old shoots a Protogy.  He loves it. 25#@24"
