RE: What bow for a 8 year old???
I second the Parker Sidkick XP. My 13 yr old upgraded to one from a Genesis. He is shooting alot & will be ready for the early season in August. He loves this thing. The one thing he liked over the Diamond Edge was the fatter grip. We went w/ feel just like I would. He shot the Diamond & the Parker head to head & preferred the Parker. It too can get the upgraded limbs for $50. It comes w/ a Hostage rest, an OK for a kid's hunting bow fiber optic sight, peep, wrist sling, & Bohning quiver. Not bad for $315 @ BPS or Cabela's. Anyway, I have shot this thing & it is S-W-E-E-T!
