Youth Compound Bow

I purchased the pro kit version which includes lots of extra goodies for my 11 year old who has taken an interest in archery. It's well worth the price to get a kid out of the house and off of electronics for some outdoor experience. This is a nice kit for someone starting out. Putting it together wasn't overly difficult but I do wish the print on the instructions was a bit larger. In my opinion the draw length and weight could be simplified, but I think ultimately the user will manage. The arrows that are included are very light plastic shaft and the tips are extremely lightweight. I would recommend different arrows. These aren't bad but I have better luck with higher grain weight. My son is still getting used to aiming so it will take some time to acclimate to the bow. The draw is smooth and the included release appears to work great. I have not had much experience with compound bow but this one seems a good place to start. It looks impressive and is perfect for him, but I fear he will outgrow it in a year or two. The good thing is the quality of it makes it something that can be used by another child or even a small adult female. I am far from an experienced archer, but this seems like a good place to start.

I was shocked (lifetime bow hunter, 3D tournament shooter) The quality of this starter bow surprisingly surpasses the cost. Before I set it up for my 8 yr old grandson I took a few shots, rough set the pins and I was shocked how smooth and quiet this bow was. When I moved everything to his draw length and weight, helped him set his pins he was nailing his other arrows from 25 yards within an hour. The range of adjustment on this bow-from draw weight to draw length, is crazy wide as well. It literally comes with everything you need to start flinging shafts! The arrows are too heavy and too long but they have to be as the manufacturer has no way of knowing the end users measurements. I will cut him down some lighter, proper length carbon shafts when I make my next batch. Was so impressed with the bow package I bought another one in a different color for my 10 yr old grandson. He loves his as well and now the cousins shoot together every chance they get. NOTE: You will need a target. They won't stick in my target (400fps) but the generic foam block type compound targets work very well.

So for the money you can't beat it. You get a fully adjustable bow great for someone just getting started, plus a sight, arrow rest, quiver, and 12 arrows. The arrows by themselves would be about $30, so great package for the price. However, if you are like me and know next to nothing about setting up a bow (this is for me to get started after all) then you are going to need to do some research and make sure you fully understand all the parts. The manual is tiny and the pictures are so small it is nearly impossible to see what they are showing. And in the first step it talks about setting the draw strength and needing to adjust a draw stop peg. Well as it turned out mine was not adjusted to the right stopping point and it was actually on the wrong cam. It is supposed to be on the top, which it actually shows i nteh manual, but they installed mine on the bottom where it actually can not even touch the string so it absolutely has to be at the top to function. So that took me an hour to figure out what it was, what it did, and do they really only need to be on one end? Answers, it is a tiny little peg screwed into the cam at a specific point to ensure your draw length is set to the appropriate distance for your set poundage. And yes some bows only have it on one cam. So then I had the fun of putting my arrow rest on incorrectly again due to the pictures being too small and the instructions not very clear. I then put the sight on wrong as well basically in both cases attaching the mounts to the inside (where your hand goes) and not on the outside of the bow. Luckily I got the quiver right the first time. So all that aside I took it outside and shot a few arrows and it is quite consistent, I need to work on my own accuracy, but I was seeing improvement with each shot. So definitely worth the money, but you may need some help setting it up if you are new to compound bows.

We bought this for my little girl because she asked for it for Christmas and it ended up being so nice for her first bow and arrow this is a very nice bow and arrow it came with everything you need it's got very good sights on it ,it's got the extra arrows it comes with the target it comes with everything it is so nice and the price is so worth it what you get so yeah and it's a compound bow like it's a real compound bow and you can add extra weight to it as they get older so yeah it's nice we like it it's worth it pretty much what I'm trying to say is you're not going to get it and it's not going to be like a piece of crap when you get it it's really nice and well worth it and it shoots very well she shoots it really far she is really good with it

Great bow for my 8 and 10 yr old kids. This was easy to set up draw length and weight. I am taking it to an archery shop to get the whisker biscuit, sight and peep set up correctly. I took the sight off for the first use until I get the ppe and sight set up correctly. Kids are loving it!!

The bow works great, I'm going to purchase better arrows though. The arrow holder has a bolt that holds in in place on the bow and it was completely worthless I even tried epoxy glue to keep it in and it just slid out with the glue, this was days after letting it cure.

Awesome

This is a fantastic beginners bow. The parts which move to adjust draw weight and length are not under tension, so it adjusts very easily with the included wrenches. Also very easy to shoot, and shoots straight and true. The one very minor downside is the assembly instructions are rather hard to understand, but the pictures are good enough that I was still able to figure it out
