I have two kids who shoot, couple of points/advice:

- buy a release, yes it would be nice to learn fingers, but many kids want to hit what they shoot at and release is easier to get consistent with, plus if she goes to any shoots most folks will have a release and she will want to "look" like them

- LOWER the poundage and make sure the length is right, many kids shoot to much poundage, sit her on teh ground, feet out infront of her and have her draw the bow, if she can't its to much weight. Her muscles will strengthen quickly as well.

- Get a good rest that will hold the arrow solidly, whisker basket type is nice for kids, arrow can't fall off.

- peep sight, same as release, not needed but helps consistency quicker.

- FUN FUN FUN FUN. Depending on the kid she may like more feedback on a good shot than an arrow in a dot, try balloons, tic-tac-toe games etc.

Watch for arm slap, the string hitting the bow arm, it indicates form issues, but it destroys the fun of shooting cause it HURTS. The first one won't really hurt, but the next one will.
