Weight is very managble, accurate, quiet, cam system is intuitive. I would put this up against a $1000 bow anytime. Quite possibly the best bow in its price range.

Lisa this bow is not a Good choice for a young archer . It is pretty much a toy . sell it, send it back just get rid of it someway .Go to a Barnett Vortec Jr . youth bow .It is a little more expensive .You can get it here on Amazon , or at your local dealer . It has a real bow string , real sights , and adjustable draw length .It will Grow with your child all the way from practice to real Deer Hunting . Well worth the money !! Easy to adjust draw length ,and Draw weight !!

My crossbow shoots at 350fps and it stops the bolts great. Shooting a recurve you probably are well under 300fps so this is overkill and you could just use a standard yellow jacket for compound bows and the arrows will be easier to pull.

when i got my was brand new. it is a really nice crossbow. i recommend to get the crossbow cocking device and get a pro installed for you. you have to be in really good shape to load the bow with the regular cocking rope! always put bow wax in all your strings and barnett lube wax in the rail!!

I got the bow for my 11 year old son. It's a quality bow!! He says you should go with the adult size, so long as you are strong enough to pull it through the maximum draw weight.

The bow is alright. Not the greatest. But if your just starting off I'd say this is a good violin. But if your more experience then go for something a little more expensive

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"

Yes. Its my first crossbow and I love it. Excellent bow for the price. My friend has a Ten Point and he likes mine better.

I don't think its overboard at all. Very powerful bow. Very accurate also, as long as you set the sights in.

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.

Ya, I suppose any compound bows on the market it is suitable. When tested to its 400fps standard, it's not capable!!! If your not shooting over 320fps you can purchase a more durable target that you can fire fixed blade broadheads at for a much lower price!!!

I'm shooting Cardon arrows. Go to archery talk and ask. Can't give you any other info

I would say it would be fine. I'm not 100 percent about it though. I would call a local archery shop just be sure.

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

Mine just snapped at the tip a few minutes into my first play with it. Snapped like balsa wood. I've never seen a bow do that and it wasn't excessively tight. Not so great.

I gave the bow to my brother as a gift. It was highly rated and he has been very pleased with it.

This is a great bow- This bow is worth more than what I paid for it. I have recommended this bow to all my friend whether they are a beginner shooter or avid hunter.
