With Christmas coming up soon, I got some shopping to do. Anyhow if you remember, I bought me a Hoyt PowerHawk last year. Shot all spring, summer and fall. Harvested a doe in October. Anyhow, This has exposed my daughters to archery and their initial reaction is they want to be involved with dad (wifey is interested too!!!). Anyhow, my oldest daughter is 10. I picked her up a Fuse Freesstyle to get her started. With her being older and more focused, I did not have a problem dropping the $140. Shop owner has one for his son and he let my girl shoot it at the shop. Now my youngest is 7. She too is all about bows and deer (pickiest damn eater, unless it is venison go figure). The Freestyle is a little out of her league in my opinion. However, I have read about the Martin tiger. It is a 10-20 lbs bow with a shoot through riser for abidextrous shooting. Draw lenghts is adjustable from 14 to 20 inches (i think). New tiger kit will set me back $49.99. If after this summer or maybe the next and her interest is still there, she'll get an upgrade.


Anyhow, does anybody have any experience with this youth setup, Pros cons?? Other suggestions?? Thanks in advance.

I know im only 13 but i know my stuff when it comes to youth bows. I currently own the diamond razor edge youth bow and man is it a nice bow(although it is $320). My little brother has the tiger and LOVES it. HIGHLY reccomended!When she is ready for an upgrade get the edge!!!! PS it has an astounding 20lb to 60lb adjustment and 18'' to 30"!
