Default youth bow's

looking at gettting my daughter a bow in the near future. She already shoots a .22 and sits in my stands with me during bow season. Was thinking about getting her one, realize that there isn't a lot of "quality" stuff out there. Anyone ever bought one for their son/daughter? Cheers

How old is she? How small is she?

Go with a Diamond Atomic if smaller in stature or a Diamond Infinite Edge...great quality for "kids" bows!

That's what I was going to say! The couple lefty mentioned are the better kids bows on the market.

For the money those bows can't be beat for kids just getting started.

The bow can adjust to grow with your kid....and they are quite shootable and accurate too....

That is what my Son used last weekend at his first ever 3d shoot....this picture is a group he shot at 10 yards, pretty decent!



Also with a bit of coaching on where to aim he was able to shoot at a 45yard "Yeti" 3d target and make 7 of 8 arrows stick.

Pse rally is a good bow, so it the pse chaos but I'm not sure the chaos can go lower than 40 pounds.
