It is not good to train to hunt. It is good to teach kids and young teens how a bow works in general and to practice learning to aim. The accuracy and distance achievable on this bow is definitely not anything you would want to hunt with, but it is good to introduce kids to learning the basic mechanics of archery.

The bow is for basic learning designed for small kids. It teaches basic skills but has no power for hunting or even being used for distant target practice. I would go to any store that sells bows and see if you are strong enough to pull back and hold 25lbs. If you can I would buy a more powerful adjustable bow. If you can't this bow is for you.

Yes! So far my son has had no problems using this bow, and has enjoyed learning archery with it!

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.

Definitely for a small kid. My 6 year old has one and only can use it when we are together. His twin sister likes to shoot it also. In my opinion is only good for introducing kids to the sport and when they learn to use this one , and when they are older we will upgrade

Age 16, girl, beginner - perfect bow! Get some extra arrows as they are easily lost and are not very stout to start with. Best wishes! Bruce. (don't discard the sight that is embedded in the cardboard that is entangled within the bow strings.) Throw nothing away until you have used the sight! :-) BTW this is a serious bow, you could kill with this (with broadheads - a deer)

If I were you, I would buy a bow with a stronger draw weight so that it can grow with you. It would be ideal for you now, but you will get drastically stronger over the next few years, and you will wish for a stronger bow. I know that for the price, this one has nice features, but I would recommend spending a bit more and getting a better bow. You aren't a beginner, so you will be left wanting for more with this bow.

i bought one as a starter bow for my daughter who had shot quite a bit at summer camp, and returned it immediately without shooting it. it looked and felt more like a plastic bow for little kids, rather than a bow to actually learn adn enjoy archery. I bought a basic take down bow instead for my daughter, but we were already sure that she enjoyed archery.

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.

this bow wuld be great for you. i have not measured the arrows but believe they are a regular length. My grandson is 10 and really likes it. the pull though is alittle stiff or tight but it is still new. I am very imppressed with the bow for the price.

Dear Rachel, this bow is meant especially for right handed archers. Hope i helped :D

The bow is decent. It plays well (with enough rosin-make sure you put enough rosin) but there are better quality bows out there. This bow is sufficient to learn on, but if you were going to play in an orchestra or something, i would get a better one (and strings too-they both affect the sound quality.)

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.

The crossbow is really good for the price. It's very accurate and shoots pretty good. Well built, easy to put together, and fits both left and right handed shooters. Overall great bow for starters.

It should be about perfect for you. Even if you can't quite get it, you will after a couple of sessions. My 10 year old son led for a few days but eventually was able to fully draw back the arrow. They are just shy of 28" in length.

As far as compound bows go, this is a really good bow to start off with. It is cheap and easy to practice with

I'm new to the sport and purchased this solely for target shooting on my rural property. It is a great beginner bow per the local archery shop reps I spoke with. I would STRONGLY recommend you also order the cocking device. It's very strenuous to load the bolts and well worth the money. You will also want to buy av target. There are many options available from square bags of assorted sizes and densities to game animals (hunting decoy type). Hay or cardboard targets will damage the bolts severely. Also, Amazon has the best prices by far in bolts (arrows) and cases. Hope this helps.

It could be a starter, but it would be probably better to start with a simple compound bow at that age/size.

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

It would be a good idea to purchase a target. It's pretty sizable. I purchased the bow, arrows & a target when I bought mine in December.
