Would this beginner bow work for a teenage girl who is 5 foot 7 inches? I want something that isn't too difficult but feels "official" so to speak.

My daughter was only 11 when we gave this to her. It is light weight and feels real and shoots easily. I would recommend this for a beginner.

We also have a Mathews Genesis bow. I do not know if it is a youth bow but certainly will works as a young beginngers bow. It fits nicely with lots of extra room.

I'm 6' and my wife is 5'8". The bow is perfect for me and my wife uses it, too. The draw weight is the only issue for her. So, as long as the person is strong enough for the draw, I'd say maybe 5'6" or more would be ok.

It is a good beginner bow for children to learn how to use a compound bow and sights. My nine year old granddaughter was able to use this bow very well. I believe it is worth the money.

I would say its a bit much. I agree with the two other posters: In regards to str8edge, I dont know if you are around any ranges where they would rent bows, but if you could go to a hunting or sports shop and try them, thats a great idea. Also, as At Full Draw said, I believe 30-35 lbs would be better. Currently (for me), i can pull the draw string back all the way (all the way, meaning my arms' length, me being about your 14 year old's height), and i can hold that for maybe 2 minutes max. So, to answer your question, I would say its not TOO much, but a lighter lbs bow would be better. If its target practice (like i do), 35lbs, if its hunting, i have no opinion.

No, i would say this would be for at least a 11 year old. A 5 year old would not be strong enough to shoot this bow. They do have other bows for younger shooters though

No! Go to a sporting goods store that has an archery department and get them to size one for you! Unfortunately, you're gonna have to get an ADULT sized and ADULT priced bow!

I would recommend a lighter draw weight 1 piece for a 13 year old. Probably 30lbs and a good 1 piece fiberglass bow should be less expensive also.

Yes this is a great starter bow. Good to learn on and build arm strength. We were impressed by the quality.

No, the draw weight is too light and the sights are too basic. I would recommend a Mathews Mission Menace for an adult female starting out. Starting weight should be around 30# minimum. That's the bow I started with and love it! For an adult male just learning to shoot a bow, I would recommend the Mathews Mission Craze or something similar. This bow is great for a pre-teen thru young teen to shoot. It's actually a little heavy for my 7 year old. She will grow into it very soon though!

28" inch arrows seems to work best, I wouldn't go less than that. 30" might be good except more of the shaft would stick out the end. In Competition only the 28" would be used anyways. These bows are used and recognized by most all school archery classes and competitions. They like 28". hope this helps you.

I hope this isn't getting to you too late... The bow measures 45" tall, but the draw length is only 18-22". An adult is fine using it playing with kids, but if this is going to be your sole bow, you should get one with a longer draw length for accuracy & so you can fully draw back on it, otherwise it won't fit you quite right.

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.

To be completely honest with you, it is really too light weight of a bow for you. You need to look at something like the diamond infinite edge compound bow. The bodies are all made of a composite material now days. The diamond is a bow that can last you a lifetime. Hope this helps you.

I think this would be excellent for a kid that age because it has such a wide draw and poundage range. It adjusts from a 13 to 30 inch draw and from 5 to 70 pounds so it can even grow with them as they get older. I love my bow like this and recommend it for any age kid and ladies.

and yes it would work for a adult as long as their draw length is not over 28", i would recommend a Samick sage for any adult looking to get into archery
