Bow For Daughter

Sticky · Aug 3, 2016

There are youth bows from most of the major manufacturers that are very adjustable in draw length and weight. This is a really good way to go for a youth archer, as they are still growing and it will work for them as they grow and progress in archery. Even adults can shoot most of the youth bows when setup properly today.

Don't buy a bow for her that does not have a wide range of adjustment, as most standard bows are not that adjustable in length and weight...

My daughter has a Matthew's Genesis.
Good bow, I wanted a simple recurve though.
Sales guy pushed my wife to buy the Genesis.

She got it Xmas when she was 9.
I can tell you that it made no difference in her learning or here experience vs. spending half on a simple re curve. or another brand
I did upgrade it with a whisker biscuit and tru glow sights, but that was more out of my tinkering than anything.
The whisker bisquit helped alot in her not getting frustrated in the arrow falling off.

Anyone can say "buy the best" but if you don't know what her interest is, you may be wasting alot of $$
IMO start with something simple until you see what interest she has.

My Daughter (10 YO but 5' tall and very thin) has been going to the range on youth days and using the bows there. I think they have Genesis minis. She love sit and has gotten so good she can shoot out the balloons on other peoples lanes with a single arrow. It really makes her sister mad. Anyway I think it's time to get her a bow of her own and with Christmas and her birthday coming up, I have an excuse to get her one. She has also expressed an interest in hunting. I didn't look at what lb draw the bow was that she was shooting.

I want a bow that will grow with her. I also want something she can hunt with, even if it's small game. Thanks.

Here are some options.
These may be a little light for hunting, not sure since I have never shot them. I'm sure someone smarter than me will have a better answer for you.

Here are a few more.
I'd look at the Stinger X, Stinger X Stilleto, and the Discovery.

And one more. This is a great bow for youth and smaller shooters.

Hope I helped.

I have a very nice youth bow that I got for my son (11y.o.) last fall. Gave it to him for Xmas with new strings on it and he had outgrown it. PM me if you want pics or more info. I can take some pics tomorrow or this weekend.
