Hi, I bought this for a 10 and 11 year old, I would say 8+ depending on their strength. It is too big and tight for my 5 year old.

Generally a ten year old would draw 20-22 inches of draw and would be comfortable with a pound pull of under 20 pounds. That means the best poundage bow for your son would be the 24# model. The 24# model is measured at 28 inches of pull therefore at 20-22 inches of draw, that bow would be 15-20 pound pull. These are generalities and you could purchase a heavier model if your son was EXTREMELY stronger than an average 10 year old. Otherwise stick with the 24#.

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

Yes, a very good bow for a boy fo that age - I have 6 nephews and each has gotten one around their 10th to 12th birthday and could not be happier!

My daughter is 11 and wanted a starter bow. Her brother is 14 and uses it as well. They both agree that they will upgrade to something heavier but they have enjoyed this one.

I got this bow for my daughter when she was twelve she is about your height also once the tension line was adjusted she could shoot it a lot easier it was a good size even now after a year and a half the size still suits her. Hope this helps . :)

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.

You should be fine. I use this bow with my daughter, it is just about 1.5 inches short on draw length for me, but should be appropriate for your son

This bow is excellent for younger / smaller archers. It's more a case of "how big / strong" do you need to be. My daughter is 7 but is tiny for her age (most mistake her for a 5 year old - she's the smallest in her class) and I managed to get this set up at about 9lb draw and she pulls it back easy. At that draw I can use my little finger with no effort at all. If your kid is old / big enough to climb a tree and they could probably draw this bow. It's super adjustable. The other plus it it weighs next to nothing so my daughter has no problem holding it up for an extended aim.

Hi, I really can't remember the recommended age but I bought for my son for his 4th birthday.He loves it. I would between 3-7.

That bow has interchangeable limbs at a reasonable price. He might start out at 35# and develop his bow strength, then get some 45# later. You can probably sell the first set of limbs easily. If you have not yet purchased this bow, you might consider the Samick Sage. I have both, and the Sage is much smoother.

Hi Laurie. From ages 10-15 for both boys and girls..... into the teen years it is more dependent on how long their draw length becomes due to growth (longer the arms=longer draw length). Notables: You need to add a nock and adjust sights for the shooter. For a small framed female adult, this could be a good starter tartget bow as well. 2 thumbs up from 2JBs.

It's adjustable. Ranges from 18 to high 30's. Great for a starter until an adult bow is needed.

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"

The range is around 10-15 feet.... it all depend on the bow weight and the child size as well the farther back he or she pulls the farther the arrow fly.Remember the arrows are only 18 inches long The same for the deluxe arrows

This bow in my opinion is strictly for youth. I am a bow hunter and I would not use it even if I got in a jam and needed one

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.
