Hi Folks,
I've been teaching my 4 year old to shoot trad. He loves it, and I enjoy watching him and shooting alongside him. I think it may be time for a new bow, though. He's been shooting a bow I got from 3 Rivers. It's a 10 lb draw, which he can easily draw and shoot. But I think it may be too short. He also gets frustrated that his arrows can't penetrate and "stick" our bag target or the foam ones at the local archery range. They just bounce back, but I don't think much can be done about that given light weight youth bows. I don't want to over-bow him with a heavier draw and have him develop bad form.
I want to get him a longer bow that'll last him a few years, preferably with dual shelves for left and right hand shooting (not yet sure if he's a lefty or right-handed). Nothing against the youth all-fiberglass "plasticky" looking bows, but I prefer getting him a wood laminated-fiberglass bow if possible. Anyone have any suggestions?
