All the boys in the neighborhood keep hounding me for a bow of their own so I need to start making them some out of my smaller staves, but I don't have any layout dimensions. Any help would be good. I need something for 4-6 year olds and something for 9-12 year olds. Thanks.\\

There used to be a few sites that had kids bow layouts, but they are no good today. I have built a few 4-6 year old kids bows. I like to make a bow 48-50" long and 20# @ 22", for the older kids you can make a longer and slightly heavier bow, you'll just have to get them involved to dial in the draw weight. Prolly be more fun that way.
If you want, I can send you some Cloverdale leftover rattan bows and arrows to hold them off while you finish yours. I also have a buildalong somewhere. My site was murdered a while back so I am re creating it as I can. Send me an email - j.scifres@sbcglobal.net and I'll get the bows and the buildalong to you.
