A year wasted I guess but considering that I just started bow hunting and hunting state land last year it was probably good that I waited until this year anyway. I'll probably take him in only about 20 yards from the road to be on the safe side this season. Besides, I don't think he can carry my tree stand and climbing sticks too far right now anyway, lol. We'll be hunting from the ole' pop up on our trips, too nervous about puttinghim in the tree stand with a bow right now.

Thanks for the info though, my daughter turns 10 in June!

If I were you I would take a look at the Darton bows.Three in particular. Depending on their size and strength, the Ranger 3. the AS25 or the AS50. All of them have alot of room for growth and if I remember correctly they come with all the modules to adjust the draw lenght. The 50 is a parallel limb bow but the others aren't. I just bought the Ranger for my 13 year old and it is doing great. It has an adjustable draw length from 17 to 28 inches and draw weight form 15 to 45 pounds. I will probably let him use the Ranger through this year then move him up to the AS50.Good luck with your search an I think you are doing a really good thing getting those youngsters into archery. You all will have a blast together.

I just started shooting last May and I have to tell you there is a lot of wealth in finding a good Archery Shop. My husband and I go to MN Archery, it is owned by Barry and his son Matt and they are awesome. They have taken the time to work with me because the most important thing for them is to help people shoot better. Matt actually works with some of the kids that come in there and one of them is only 10 and shooting 300's. They are very patient and full of a wealth of information and they don't push you to buy anything because the most important thing is that you are comfortable with what you are shooting.

I bought my son the Diamond Edge. He tried a few different bows and his eyes lit up when he tried the Edge. I think he wanted to be more like his dad, nothing wrong with that ! I did consider the Ranger though prior when searching on-line but didn't have a dealer near me. I'm going to consider it for my daughter though, thanks for the reminder! I think there is a Sportsmans Warehouse nearby that might have them?
