Little Kid's Bow

what did you guys use to start your youngster? I have a 3 year old at home and was thinking of introducing a recurve for him while I shoot my bow. guys at the archery shop were telling me to get the Genesis Mini, but I dont really want to spend $170 on a kids bow

 

Good job starting them with a trad bow. Don't do the compound thing till they are older. Black Rhino bows. Search that online. I know that's the brand my father uses to introduce really small kids to archery. They make both recurves and longbows for kids and adults that are very reasonable.

 

My son is 6, I am getting him his first real bow this winter for Christmas. Here is what I settled on.

Another option in a recurve.

At 3 it really does not matter. Just make it fun. Balloons with water or flour in them. Most small bows suffer from poor arrows and when I started my kids I had some good shafts made and it was a big improvement. If thay are still flinging arrows at 7 or 8 then a Genesis would be a good investment. Kids just want to have fun and be with you. Leave the real technical stuff for later.

 

Here is what my five-year-old uses. $20 at Bass Pro

This is a good bow for a young kid. I just bought this same bow for my daughter, she is 4. She loves shooting it and very easy to use, and also comes with everything they need to get started. I just got it at Cabelas on sale for 10.99. But with coupon, I got it for 8.99, can't beat it for the price!

 

I just bought my 2 year old daughter a Dollar General toy bow, just to get her a little familiar with one. She takes it when we shoot in the yard. I bought my older 2 kids the Diamond Nuclear Ice when they graduated from the toy bows. I believe Diamond changed that out with the Atomic, or something like that?

 

I started my little boy on a toy set with the rubber suction cups. Just to make sure he liked it. I would even take him to 3D shoots with his bow he loves it. Now I just got him a cheap one from Walmart.

 

thanks for the tips guys!!

 

For a 3 year old I'd Buy one from Walmart or another store like that, $40 or under.

 

I started mine with a little green bear bow sold at bass pro or cabelas. He loved it when he was small. We upgraded to a mission for his 7th birthday. He loves his new bow.
