birthday bow for my 5 yr old daughter

[aim small...release]

Hey guys and gals my little baby is turning 5 next week lol. Cant believe it. Well i knew it was comein and last night she asked when i was shootin ...when can i have one. Ive been makein make shift bows out of literaly stickks and string lol. Bit going to work anymore. We bought her a tablet already so there is a somewhat tight budget. I wanna make her smile like all the dads do on here. Is it possible to get one for under 100 or a lil cheaper. Thanks for any help as always  appreciated.      brandon

Brandon, I just paid that for a used bow on the St Judes auction, but part of the reason it sold for that is because it was the St Judes auction.

That's pretty much new price for a Maddog youth bow and they are pretty things    

I saw some St Joe River kids bows at Compton and they were mighty nice too.

I'll bet if you put a "want to buy" ad in the classifieds, there is someone out there who's youngster has outgrown one.

Where in MI are you located?

I actually placed an order for a Mad Dog Pup recurve a few weeks ago for my son. Total came out to about $110. I will be putting another order for my daughter next week for a longbow pup from Mike. My son is 4 and daughter is 6.

Dryad makes a SPRITE

Black Rhino is another great choice.   www.bows.net

I bought my daughter a  St Joe River kids bow from the st. judes auction last year. She loves to shoot that bow. Plenty of bowyers that make some really nice youth bows

aim small, I'm guessing the bow may go home with my granddaughter, but I will try to keep it here so I can be sure she gets started properly. If you ever get down to Grand Rapids, Greenville is on the way, or if I head up to my son's parents-in-law in Marlette, I will bring it along as Frankenmuth is on my route.

Guess that doesn't help much for a birthday a week away, though. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the bowyers mentioned. The nice thing about having a decent starter bow is you can always get much of your money back in a trade-up when they graduate to a heavier bow.

If you have been making some "make shift" bows all ready, try a piece of Oak board from a lumberyard.

I have a lot of friends kids shooting st joe river bows they are great.  You can have them custom made poundage and color/ woods and all and they offer a trade in program when she outgrows that first bow.

Another vote for Black Rhino - bought one for my son when he was 4, he's had it for 2 1/2 years now and it has grown right with him perfectly.  He'll still get another year or two out of it at least.
