I really hate to hear there is nothing under the $200 mark...with a 17 year old daughter (going to college next year) and a 6 year old son (who tries every sport...this past year - soccer, lacrosse, tennis, basketball, baseball, and now bows)...money is extremely tight.
Yea, don't think I'm in a position to find a 'quality' used one.
Sweet...sounds like the $30 one might be worth investing in. I think he will love it. A local sports store has the one I mentioned so I'll take him by this weekend and see what he thinks.
Thanks for the link.
We have about 150 foot open space in the backyard with woods behind it. Is this a large enough open space for us to use? And, what do I need to get for us to aim for which shooting?
I appreciate all the help so far!!!

The bow above has everything you need. Sights, rest and a quiver to hold your arrows. It's what you call ready aim kill.
As far as additional stuff your going to need.
The short list
6 arrows with practice tips appopriate weight
A target
A mechanical release
Armband
That should get you started.
The above bow can also be taken down to kids size too! It goes down to a really short draw for kids and really low poundage. If you find he is not interested in it you can just bump up the poundage and draw length to your standards provided you can shoot up to a 27 inch draw length.
The only way you will know your draw length is to get measured and fitted initially!
