Can the bow be opened and re-tied to adjust the size? I have an almost 3 year old and an almost 6 year old (both with small heads). Thank

No you cannot adjust it. It is cute but it is cheaply made. My daughter is 8 and it fit her head. They should be fine, you just need to improvise and find a way to clip it to their hair. Good luck :)

No, head piece is not adjustable. My granddaughter wore it as is and she is a big 6 yr. old. It may fit your 6 year old, but think it maybe too big for the 3 yr. old. Although, it may fit both fine if worn around the head. We just placed it on the head and anchored with hair pins.

Hm.. depends on head size. I'd say it will go as small as a size 6 head. it's not designed for toddlers though

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.

Draw length can maybe be adjusted to fit but The bow itself is tiny and would be undersized in my opinion. Pick one out by wingspan. Measure across chest from tip of middle finger to tip of middle finger with arms stretched straight out. Then divide that number by 2.5. This will be correct draw length and you won't have to guess if this bow will work.

I honestly had a little trouble getting it on my 6 year old head, it was snug and I pinned it. I dont know if they come in other sizes maybe?;)

yes go to an archery store tell them to adjust it with new cams if they cant the frame is too lite weight to handle it or there are no parts avail. Indians did it with prob. 40 pound long bows

Yes it can be adjusted for length accomodating different brace height bows. However, the hole in your riser has to be inline with your string or really close.

To my son's dismay, it can't be be done because the bow is not configured this way. The bow cannot be 'upgraded'.

I'm sorry, but it was a gift and I simply don't remember if the bow is removeable. Only guessing, but I would suspect you could cut it off. Good luck. Bandanna idea sounds cute!

i do not see how it would unscrew and be replace by another size head. i do love mine though for what that's worth!

It may be a bit big, but you could probably adapt it by adding some elastic or velcro. Of course it depends on the child's head size.

I would say anything shorter than what comes with the bow would make it difficult for the arrow to stay put when the child draws the bow back (ie. the tip of the arrow may be shorter than the handle therefore making it next to impossible to actually release/shoot the arrow). My husband purchased a bunch of extra arrows at our local big box store for circa $2 a piece and they've worked really well with this set.

The head band was to small for my head. My hat size is 7 and 5/8ths. I brought it to the attendion of the vendor, and they send me a new one. Problem is it is the same size. It can only be adjusted smaller. Problem is it is too small to begin with.

I need replacements too! My kids loved the bow, and it really is a step above "little kid bows" that can't be aimed or go very far. But the bow strings broke and we need to figure out how to fix it.

Yes, the ropes are adjustable. By pulling the rope through the red hand holder, one can tie a knot or two on each side to shorten the slack. As the child grows you can untie the knots to lengthen the rope again to its original size.

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's pretty small for an 8 year old my 3 year old used it. Yes he's the size of a 6 year old but it was great for a starter bow.
