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.

It depends on the draw weight. It can be adjusted from somewhere between about 5 to 29 pounds. My sister is thirteen and has it set at about 20. At the lower setting, I could see a five or six year old managing fine.

No. It is relatively easy to pull back the bolt. A 12 year old should easily be able to.

At 69 years of age I can't! I'll have to ask my daughter. I bought it for her.

I think with enough training and a little strength, a 4 year old may be strong and smart enough to do it. I have 4 yr old nephews I think I could teach how to open it. I doubt they'd figure out how to do it on their own.

I think the guidelines say that any child under 4' 9" should be in a booster, although older kids can use a booster with no back on it. It is recommended to have kids in a 5-point harness until at they are least 4 years old AND 40 lbs, although some states allow kids to go into boosters at age 3 and 30 lbs.

Lol you need to apply a lot of force to pull it back get an arrow release to make it easier or bring down the lbs pressure

I doubt it actually, because you don't pull the string back, you pull the plastic handle underneath back. It does take a little strength to pull it all the way back. You also have to pull it back for each shot. My daughter is 13 and has no problem but I think she would have when she was 5.

I don't find it difficult to push at all. It has really good suction, though, so pulling back requires a bit more force. A normal, healthy adult would have no problem with it. Someone with musculoskeletal issues might feel,a bit of strain.

You only need to pull down/forward or pull to right. You don't push the handle back at all.

You cock it back by pulling the slide back. It's not hard for a kid who's at least 9. Our trigger mechanism broke in less than 2 days. I would say not to expect much more than looks.....

A 25lb. pull should be fine for a kid over 9 or so. Perhaps he is trying to pull it back too far (his index finger should be at the side of his mouth). Also, maybe he is over-doing the shooting session. 36 shots per session is plenty.

You mean once you purchased it, hold old do you have to be to legally carry it? Depends on your state laws, I would say just guessing 18 yrs old.

It really depends on how strong he is. It is easy and gets easier when they learn how to manage it. It cocks like a pump-action shotgun. If it is held firmly in your shoulder, it is easy to complete the action.My daughter is 10 years old. She didn't understand how it pumped the first time. Every time after that she has been able to pull it. She didn't put it down at all.

I would just have my child sit in it while I was on the floor just pulling him back and forth. He did this up to about 25 pounds. It is not really made to be pulling a child around the house. It is for a child to pull their toys around.

You can't adjust it so just pull harder & or faster. I have noted much back (lats) improvement in the 6 months. I have been pulling twice a day.
