I can see you haven't had too many 8 year old girls shooting archery equipment.
No I haven't but don't start your kids off with to heavy of a bow when there young. I've got a ton of little recurve's and longbows that my brother and I used as kids. We were 3 years old when we started and any little girl out there would of had a blast with these things and pull them back just fine. These bows were lucky If they were 5lbs. Anyone can do It, It just takes time and the right preparation.
My daughter started with a nref recurve I fixed to shoot arrows when she was 2 and has been shooting recurves since she was 3 or 4 but she wasn't able to pull 30# COMFORTABLY untill she was 11 or 12.She lost some strength due to having to shoot lefty due to her dominant eye and being right handed.
If I could have afforded one of these when she was 8,I would have purchased one for her to use if it would have been legal to hunt with.
As soon as I find the picture of my son's bow,I will post it.You will appreciate it.
