Hi trufire, great to hear you're shooting a bow, and want to shoot 3D. Try the BowTech Rascal. They are a great youth bow, and would work great for 3D. As you grow, BowTech will upgrade the limbs for a reasonable price. I bought my son one, and he loves it. He's 6, and we shoot 3D together. He still needs a little help, but we have a ball. I'm sure you and your dad will, too. Good luck and have fun.

Welcome to a great sport. I wish I had started at a young age. You'll be the guy out beating us older guys in a few years.

As far as bow recommendations, I have a 13 year old daughter and I bought her a Mathews FX. This is a bow she will be able to grow with for a few years. She pulls 32# on a 23&quot; draw and shoots around 225 fps. She's doing real well with it. The browning is also a good bow.

I gave my daughter a PSE Bandit but I didn't feel like it would do the job. It's a little slower and heavier. I guess you'll have to figure out what you can talk mom and dad into. I love the sport so it was pretty easy for me to dish out the extra dough for a good bow. You kids are all worth it, guranteed. Good luck on your 3-D shoots. One word of advice, practice your yardage judging ALOT. It is the difference in a good shooter and a scoring shooter.

Congrats trufire. I'm sure your parents are very proud of you. I was the first time my son got an award.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> Keep up the good work, and good luck this coming season.

yeh.........I know..........I spelled a word wrong. oh-well. I just got a 178 last week on the 3-D. If your even in the state, theres a 3-D shoot every other sunday at NORTHERN DUTCHESS ROD AND GUN CLUB.
