He said don't let my son do any serious shooting until after 8 years old. He said there was cases of kids with back issues like scoliosis. Now, in reality, I think he is referring to taking a 5 year old and daily shooting and coaching hundreds of arrows.
Not me taking my son out and letting him flick and arrow in the air.
I agree 100 %.. I made my grandson a bow when he was 3 and let him have fun with it. Now he's seven and made him another one and he's doing great with it. He smoking hot at 10 yards.
