Default RE: Advice for young hunter...

I think that is very cool for you that your young daughter enjoys hunting with her Dad.

Just a thought, 30 lbs of draw is really at the very bottom and in some cases not legal to hunt with. I'm not sure if the MicroMidas has adjustable poundage, but I would think that a summer of practice with her Dad in the back yard added to some meat and potatoes plus a bit of that growing like a weed at that age and you probably could have her drawing 40 lbs by this fall. At 40 lbs many of the penetration concerns will be addressed as MANY deer have been killed by arrows being pushed by 40 lbs of draw. Even 35 lbs of draw weight by Fall would be a big improvement and I agree with a previous post, you wouldn't want her first experience to be a bad one based on equipment performance.

If she is limited to 30 lbs this fall, perhaps you could skip some deer hunting and chase turkey or small game with her new bow?
