Thats great....start them early! My son started at 5 years old. When he was 7 years old he was MN State Archery Champ. He shot a 293 with 36 X's. (for those who don't shoot contests...that 53 bullseyes out of 60 shots....36 were in the very center of the bullseye) Needles to say he loves to shoot! Now he's 8 and average score is 296! His target bow we keep at 25lbs.and his hunting bow at 33 lbs. MY daughter just started also......at 6 years old and she is shootingroughly 230 now but she's drastically improving each time we shoot.( I can see another state champ comming on)

They love shooting....start them early.

Good Luck!
