Since you guys are around my age and might have a youth bowI decided to ask you guys some questions. Im looking for a decent beginer bow, im going to use it for target practice and small game. I've been looking into the Bear Youth Bows, are they any good? Could they be used for small game?Wich has the most power and range?Wich one shouldI get? I like the 'Cherokee bow set', the 'Titan bow', and the 'Scout bow'. Out of the three wich is best?
Sorry for all the questions.
Thanks!

ok give me your draw length, #lb you can pull, are you right or left eye dominant, both of my kids shoot and have gone through a few bows, so with some info I might be able to help you out

I'm really, really small so I use a youth bow made by Pro-line which I got used. There is no draw weight limit in Michigan-luckily-so I can hunt with it. It's 28 lb. pull, just right for me and I got a nice doe with it last season. Of course I had to be close.
Naturally you want to get themost powerful bow you can use. But the most important thing is accuracy.
You should just go to a pro-shop and let them help figure out what size you need. I think lots of companies make youth bows.

I've made my decision. Im going to get the Fred Bear Brave Youth Compound Bow set. Im also thinking of getting an arm guard and 2-6 extra arrows (thearrows the bow comes with are crap). What do you think, is it a good start for a beginer (remember im using it for small game and practice)?

well i dont know if you have already bought the bow but i think that bow is a little to small for ya. I dont want to sound mean but i had one of those when i was about 8 years old. Im looking at the price in Cabelas and it is about 80 bucks, im not sure if your not looking to spend alot? but i would suggest mabey spending a little more and getting something a little bigger. I would suggest the Alpine Micro package, it was the bow i used my first archery season but i outgrew it in a year, it is a decent bow and cost about 300 bucks. Since im not really sure what you want to spend im just gonna give you a few more suggestions browing makes the Micro Midas for around 300 and Diamond has the Diamond edge for 300 also look at pse they have a few bows that might fit your needs. Hope this helps, post some of your info like height, weight so we can tell your body type to pick a bow to fit you, also add price range. But my best advice would be to go to a pro shop there someone can help you pick a bow for you body type and price range
