Would this be a good first bow for a young adult?

I got it for my wife and she loves it, I find it to be a little lite for me to use though.

Depends on the person's age and size. My 13 year old niece can barely pull it

I'd guess 'yes,' unless she is very petite. I work at a camp in the summer; my predecessor got little toys . . half the time the arrows fell short of the target; the other half of the time they'd bounce off. Not too satisfying. These are like the bows I remember from my youth, before the safety dweebs got into things. This bow is a good compromise between little toys and expensive compound bows. Not sure of the models, but we also use a 52" bow with a lighter draw, and 60" bows with 20 and 30 lb draws. Safety first--the nock of an arrow will take an eye out as well as the point would, so no running, and no one but the archer downrange to retrieve the arrows. (They can be stuck in the target and pop out, if another person was behind your archer when one did--ouch!)

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

No this is a beginner slash youth bow. Its a small frame. It would be good for a small woman or teenager

Yes. I am an adult man 6'1" and I have no trouble with the grip on this bow.

I'm not too used to compound bows so i could not do much comparing for you but in my opinion, I would say that this is a good intermediate bow as far as recurve bows go. If your looking for a good intermediate recurve, i think you'll be pleased with this.

In my open honest opinion, buy it for you daughter. It is very well built, with all the extra's that you get with the bow set it is well worth the price. I bought this set for my 5 year old grandson, it is almost a little advanced for his age. I would say it would be perfect for your 9 year oldgirl. She would have lots of years of use before having to advance to a more complex bow. Matter of fact, I like using this bow myself. It ismost definitely not a toy. It's a powerful little bow. Bear makes a very high quality archery bow and equipment. I hope I didn't overly answer yourquestion. However, I believe your child would have years of use and enjoyment with this bow set............... In my open honest opinion, buy it for you daughter.

I am not sure what the age recommendation is for this item. I would recommend not wasting your money at any age for this piece of junk. Put a little more with it and get one of the Bear Warrior or Brave bows. Much better quality for a youth starter bow.

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!

My 9 and 10 year old sons have this bow. It was a little hard for them to pull but you are able to adjust it. I would think that it would be great for a 14 year old.

For the price I would recommend it for his first crossbow. You have crossbows and you have compound crossbows. It depends on how much you want to spend and your range. Also, keep in mind the replacement strings for the Barnett crossbows are more than double the cost verses the Inferno Fury.

No it's an amazing bow! Great for first time bow hunter/ Archery, kids or Pros. Draw weight goes down to 5 pounds which was great for my 6 year old and in a female and draw back 30 pounds of weight. My husband draws about 60 back. Once you test shoot it and get it sighted in where you want it then this bow will last you for years! :)

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.

Yes this is . But keep in mind this is a child to youth bow not an youth to an adult full size bow .

According to the manufacture discription it should be fine."Ideal for beginners 8 and up (adult supervision req'd)Designed for young archers new to compound bows"

This is a youth bow, it has a very short draw length (12"-24") and the pull weight is only 29 pounds not legal for hunting. So not for use by adults. It is a great bow to start children on.

this bow is more appropriate for younger kids, more like 7-10. For a 15yr old I'd be looking at a low end adult bow, maybe 40-60lb draw depending on the size of the boy. A decent take-down bow in the 35-40lb range might be a good option if you are looking at something portable and not compound
