How well would this bow work for a 6yr old girl? Getting a bow for my niece.

I gave it to my older two boys, 10 and 7, and it lasted about a week. They are very hard on things. It was made pretty well so I think it will be a great for your niece to fine tune her skills.

I think it would fit great for a younger child. The poundage might need to be backed off but she should grow with it.

I think it is a good fit for her. I bought one for my 8 yr old son and he loves it. Read the directions on how to reduce the draw weight if she can't pull it back

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.

I wouldn't recommend it if you want it to be a toy that lasts a while. Arows did stick but bow kept coming apart. Not for an 11 yr. old.

I think a 6 year old would enjoy it. The minimum age is probably because older children hopefully demonstrate good judgement when using the toy. My girls don't always shoot at each other. Instead they set up a target and try to outshoot each other! It is a good toy to get them outside to play and use their imagination.

It is a great bow. It is good for a child all the way up to an adult. My 12 year old is who ours belongs to, but my adult neighbor who owns one, and shoots competition archery is the one who suggested it to us. He said that since it is so adjustable he will never need another bow.

This is a really fine bow for the price. I bought it for my granddaughter and she loves it. But you have a very long draw length and this bow might be a bit too small for you.

Lisa this bow is not a Good choice for a young archer . It is pretty much a toy . sell it, send it back just get rid of it someway .Go to a Barnett Vortec Jr . youth bow .It is a little more expensive .You can get it here on Amazon , or at your local dealer . It has a real bow string , real sights , and adjustable draw length .It will Grow with your child all the way from practice to real Deer Hunting . Well worth the money !! Easy to adjust draw length ,and Draw weight !!

Yes, but I got the bigger one for my 9 year old. I got this one for my 3 and 6 year olds. It's a bit tough for the 3 year old but she gets the job done (she is really strong), just no accuracy :P I actually bought a bunch of bows - for my kids and for my nieces and nephews as well. Here's the one I got for the 9-11 year olds http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000R9QTFY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I purchased this for my 18 year old nephew and it was a great beginner for him. He had no experiece w a bow.

My grandson who is 4 used it this year. I am thinking he may grow out of it by age 8 or so and move up to the next size. Unless your daughter is very petite, she may be better off with a little larger bow to begin with. Just an opinion.

Yes :) I got it as my beginner bow. Also because I am a very tiny woman lol. It's got great pull and sturdy.

My 10yr old daughter is able to draw and shoot it without any problems. It's a good beginner bow.

I would say it is for most ages. The bow is fairly light as is with no extras. The draw length goes from 13(child) to 30(adult) inches. For example I am an adult and my draw is about 28.5 inches. The pull weight goes from 5(child) to 70 lbs(adult) .

If the bow that your 6 year old is shooting has an arrow rest, go with the 28" or even the 30" that way you wont have to renew these arrows when he gets a little older. If he is shooting a traditional type of bow like low poundage youth longbow without a Modern style arrow rest then go with less then 28" coz aiming with longer arrows is more difficult & ruins posture & learning technique. Although 27" is quite ideal for kids less than 10 years of age, for the bad quality of the fletchings on these arrows & taking into account that the arrows from this seller does not come in 27" I would recommend getting 27" arrows from Another seller. Hope that helped. If the bow that your 6 year old is shooting has an arrow rest, go with the 28" or even the 30" that way you wont have to renew these arrows when he gets a little older.

Probably a little small for a six year old. My niece was two when I bought it for her.

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 would recommend if you just want a bow to shoot at target. Not difficult to draw back and aim. I purchased for my 10yr old last year. It's really a beginners bow, not for hunting.
