How slow can it be adjusted to shoot the ball? Have a four year old that's good but need a machine he can grow with.

I am not sure for actual MPH, however I can say my 7 year old can hit on the slow speed but my 4 year old has trouble. The 4 year old does not play tho so yours may be able to hit on it. A regular size bat is easier for the little one but the small bat really helps once they get the hang of it. I hope this helps.

It would work but he will outgrow it quickly. My 4 year old plays with it. It is good quality.

Pumping is not an issue, not sure how well it will take out varmets, as my 7 year old hasn't shot at any yet been working on targets for right now

My son is now 4 months old and 16 pounds and the swing does swing a little slower now that he's heavier I've had to move from speed 3 to speed 4 but the swing still works great and worth every penny I spent!

I think it would work fine because it has a couple different heights. but little tikes does sell a bigger hoop for the little bit older kids if you think he may outgrow this one fast

Mines at 29 1/2 but I can adjust it all the way down to where my 8 year old some can shoot it!

My 4yr old loves it, but he is tall for his age. If your 4year old is short, there may be issues reaching the pedals.

It can be used for baseball and it will throw slow for the younger kids. Maybe 15 mph? Not as slow as you throwing underhand in a soft toss motion, say to a 4 or 5 year old.

As a matter of fact my 2 year old son is using it and I often find myself enjoying hitting the balls. So far we have only used it indoors. The balls are pitched at a good rate of speed and level, which is a little too fast for him now. I think as a beginner you will definitely have fun hitting the balls.

Personally I think he's probably a bit too old. My 8u team used it and used the 40mph balls and we had to move it closer (probably closer to 35mph). The faster balls proved useless for us as it would go basically anywhere. If your just practicing swinging and putting a bat on a ball it's nice, but probably doesn't have enough power for that age.

We've gotten is to shoot well over 25 feet with the included wooden balls. It's actually really impressive how far it shoots. You do have to get some pretty decent tension on the strings to get that kind of distance, if the uprights aren't flexing inwards when you pull back the arm, then it's not tight enough.

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.

Yes it's adjustable. My 4 year old currently uses it on the lowest setting.

Not really. The motor isn't strong enough to shoot them properly if you do. It is designed with enough force so that little ones can use it safely without being struck by the balls and injured. We have had ours for several months and the novelty hasn't worn off for toddlers or adults.

I think the 8.5" is a great all-purpose size for most age ranges. How do you intend to use it? When I was a kid we occasionally used larger sized balls for 4square, but the 8.5" offers better ball handling / control.
