So the length of the bow is about 28 inches while wearing the string and the draw length is also about 28 inches? Must flex pretty well?

Its flexes a lot.... I have not had the chance to shoot the bow but drawing it back to get a feel for it I found it does flex. Flexes so much it may mess up your shot or could add power. I plan to shoot the bow soon but I bought it more for a show piece.

Flexes really well, with very little shock. It is a lot of fun to shoot. An looks very cool. I am extremely happy with purchasing this bow.

It's actually about 58 inches strung, and yes the drawback length is about 28 inches. It does flex fairly well.

This bow is for all ages. It is my wifes primary bow. The draw length will go up to 30" and the draw weight will go up to 70 lbs. If you are starting out this is great because you can start at a low draw weight and slowly work your way up. Without having to get a new bow.

I believe it will depend on the length of arrow you order. The are available in 3 different lengths. My son has a shorter draw because he is a smaller person so the 26 inch works great. If you are a teen or young adult you most likely will be using a longer arrow because you have a stronger/longer draw and 30 inches would be okay. If you are hunting game a different bow is most likely in order....these are good for practice targets.

I would say yes. With the added bonus that as he/she gets older, the bow can be adjusted for draw length and weight. No need to bring it to a professional to adjust!

no it is not,,as an adult's draw back length is longer than a youth,,your best bet is to go to a sportsmans center and have your draw length measured,,the limbs on this bow may explode if pulled back too many times by an adult as you are exceeding it's max draw length

My 4 year old has shot it. Seems to be a really nice bow. If your youngster is small they may not be able to draw it very easily. My little girl is about 4 1/2 yrs and she is nearly 54" tall and 49lbs. She can draw fairly comfortably but some of my small 4-h kids that are couch potatoes are having trouble with it. For $40 they wont have to wait long if they cannot now.

i believe the draw leanth of this bow can go up to 30 or 31. which is perfact for anyone up to 6 foot 3 inches.

Yes! Since it is feather fletched there will be no problem shooting off the hand or off a shelf. For a 28" draw, you'll want 1816 arrows cut at 28", or, if you'd prefer arrows also capable of a longer draw, 1916 arrows cut at either 29 or 30 inches. It's best to find a consistent anchor point, however, or else accuracy will be seriously affected. I would get the 29" arrows at 1916, in case you ever find yourself wanting a higher draw weight. All you have to do is cut them down an inch to 28" and they'll work for up to a 55lb recurve or longbow.

Draw length is adjustable and very simple to change. It is definitely powerful enough to hunt with. I used it this past season and the deer is shot went about 20 yards so it packs enough punch. I think the max draw weight is 60lbs not sure you could get that much with a 22" draw but I definitely recomend this bow. For the money and quality you can't beat it.

I'm not real sure what you are asking. I am using a recurve bow with a 25 pound pull with 28 inch arrow. I am not very strong either and having no trouble with the 25 pound pull. I hope this helps you.

Hey Dylan, That bow is probable gonna be way to easy for you to draw...and too small also. A fellow your size (as I am also) Should be drawing around 30 to 31 inches in draw length....and at least 50 lbs draw weight....I prefer the solocam bow types...the ones with one eccentric cam pulley and one very round pulley...these are very stable bows and tend to stay in tune better than the twin eccentric cam bows do... Just about any brand name would work fine...Matthews, Hoyt, Browning, PSE, Bear. This little bow isnt exactly a toy but feels like one in my hand. I would recommend a Matthews solocam bow for you.

Correction: The string is 60" for my 64" (notch to notch unstrung bow). Rule of thumb 4" shorter than bow. The string is labeled for the length of the bow on the package. My glass re-curve bow is a 40# draw. So you order for the bow length and the string should arrive automatically 4" shorter.

these bows are 47 inches when strung. I bought two, for a 13 yr old grand daughter and a 8 year old grandson. They have shot them all year, in fact are shooting them now, and they have been great. Both kids are developing pretty good skills. I set up a twenty yard range with hay bales in the back yard. We're well pleased Jim

I like the bow very much but there is no way it has the draw weight of a 30 pounds. I don't know why a description would say that, but it does vary a bit with the arrow length. Shorter arrows require slightly less force since you are not drawing the bow as far. Great bow, though.

It depends on the 12 year old. Ours was on the weaker side. Small, not to active. When we got this he couldn't pull the string even though it is pretty weak. It took about a year before he had the ability to do so, but now he enjoys it.If you are concerned, go with a traditional short-bow. It is far easier to draw than the compound.

Yes to first 2 questions. The length should be adjustable to your range. Check with your State as to the minimum draw for hunting with a bow. Florida requires 35 pound draw.
