Youth bow recommendations

DEW0341 · June 21, 2019, 01:04:05 PM

For a 5 year old. Would like it to last about 2 years for him. Don't want to pay more than 200$ and that's pushing it. Started him off on the little cheap 30$ from big5 growing out of it and needs a real stick bow not some plastic thing. Approx has a 19-20" draw right now. Would love him to be drawing around 10-15# right now. Pretty tall kid for his age, I'm 6'5" for perspective.

Thanks

Check out our Gryphon II bows. Might be what you need.

And they are all red? That is his favorite color!

I got a Maddog pup longbow for nephew and niece to use. Very nice. Right around $100. Short story- nephew was shooting and getting a little bored as I ran out of ballons. I said let's see how far it will shot and pointed toward the parking lot about 100 yards away. I figured he might get 50 or 60 yards. Arrow landed about 5 feet in front of my car- an honest 100 yards away. My bad.

Black Rhino is another option. My kids have had multiple Black Rhino and Maddogs - both have been great!!!!!

My 7 year old daughter loves her st Joe river bow. They have multiple colors to choose from and a trade up program. My 4 year old daughter is still in the el cheapo bow phase, but next year we will probably be looking for a pink one for her as well!

2 of my Grandsons have Maddog Pups. They got them 2 years ago and are 7 now. At 100 bucks they are as real as it gets in a kids longbow and you'll put money in a hard working Americans pocket. They shoot 1200 spine PSE Razorbacks like nobody's business!

Thanks to those that mentioned us. To add though is we have a 3 year warranty and a trade in trade up program. and before the end of 2019 we will be expanding our youth bow line to 52" bows. We are playing with a form now as we ave time.

I'll also recommend Mad Dog, Mike makes a great bow and really stands behind them! Denny
