Browning Micro Midas
 

I've been looking for a compound bow for my 6 1/2 year old son. He's currently shooting a PVC bow I made for him. He seems to really like archery and I need to groom my future hunting buddy.
I've been looking at the Browning Micro Midas. I like the fact that some of them are adjustable in both draw length and weight. I like the fact that it is as low as 19" and 15# which is perfect for him right now and can adjust to 45# for future time in the field.
Have any of you had experience with this bow and what are your thoughts? Thanks!

I used to sell them, and unless they've done some drastic changes in the last couple years the weight range is still only adjustable over a 10# range for any given bow (20-30, 30-40, etc). You can fudge it some but I don't think any of them have a 30# range without having new limbs put on it.

Draw length might be an issue. Those bows were adjustable from 18" to 28" using a rotating module. Not having seen your son I would almost think that, unless he is unusually tall for his age, even 18" is going to be way too long.

Other than these considerations they're not a bad bow for the money.

Which Micro Midas?
 

The original bows had cast risers, and had the 15-45# adjustable weight. I think there were 2 cam systems available. The one my son had was from 22-27, I believe. The newer MM2 and MM3 bows had the 10# adjustment, and 10" of draw length adjustment 18-28"). We bought a Diamond Razor's Edge for the boy this year, so the MM is no longer being used. If you are interested, PM for info or pics. I will check the draw length range, but I think it is 22-27.

I have experience with this bow. Well, that's not quite true, my youngest son has the experience with it, I was just the buyer and witness. He must have been 9 or maybe 10 when he "moved up" into it as his first official compound bow.

I don't know what to say, other than it's a great little bow, never gave a bit of trouble, shot straight, made him very competitive with his older brothers (20 yard spot league). Built his confidence and abilities, and it seems like he must have shot that bow for 3 years before he outgrew it.

Thanks for the info guys.

Cool information, Joe. I never saw one with that much adjustment for weight. About what year were they made?

i had a browning micro adrenalin and im guessing this is a newer model.. i killed my first doe\deer with that bow at 10 years old it was a great starter bow. olny issue i had over several years was the limbs cracked... sent it back and they covered it completely in fact they gave me a whole new bow! but you cant beat the price for a youth bow.
