Up to what age is this bow appropriate?

That depends on the child, I gave this bow to my great niece who was 10 at the time, she is now using an adult bow

It's adjustable. Ranges from 18 to high 30's. Great for a starter until an adult bow is needed.

No tops out at age 5-8 under 4 feet He needs an adult bow if he is that tall

It is a great bow. It is good for a child all the way up to an adult. My 12 year old is who ours belongs to, but my adult neighbor who owns one, and shoots competition archery is the one who suggested it to us. He said that since it is so adjustable he will never need another bow.

My advise is to go to a range where they rent bows. Have him try out a few of those to see what his ideal draw weight would be. He would need something that isn't so light that it's too easy, unless he is just starting to learn. Also he would need something that isn't too hard to pull. But starting out at 40 is a bad idea.

It depends on the age but it is definitely a simple yet accurate bow and at a great price. The 55-70# is perfect for me but I know someone small or not as strong may struggle with the initial pull back.

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.

I got this for an 8 yr old girl who is very athletic. It was very appropriate for her, and it's not one of those junky toys. I'd say it's too much for a 5 year old...they aren't as coordinated at that age. I did see several other archery sets on Amazon that would probably work for a 5 yr old...much simpler and easier to use.

I'd guess 'yes,' unless she is very petite. I work at a camp in the summer; my predecessor got little toys . . half the time the arrows fell short of the target; the other half of the time they'd bounce off. Not too satisfying. These are like the bows I remember from my youth, before the safety dweebs got into things. This bow is a good compromise between little toys and expensive compound bows. Not sure of the models, but we also use a 52" bow with a lighter draw, and 60" bows with 20 and 30 lb draws. Safety first--the nock of an arrow will take an eye out as well as the point would, so no running, and no one but the archer downrange to retrieve the arrows. (They can be stuck in the target and pop out, if another person was behind your archer when one did--ouch!)

I got this bow for my daughter when she was twelve she is about your height also once the tension line was adjusted she could shoot it a lot easier it was a good size even now after a year and a half the size still suits her. Hope this helps . :)

This bow is not for hunting. Most state regulation require at LEAST a 30 lb draw. This bow draw is up to 29lb. This bow is intended for youths. I would say ages 10-12 yr old and younger. Great starter bow if you intend your youngster to continue shooting/hunting as they get older. Which a different bow will need to be purchased.

Yes, it small enough and the draw weight isn't alot for her. It's a great begginers bow.

I would say ages 6 to 11 or 12. Younger children would need supervision because they are real tools - just smaller. Children under age 6 might hurt themselves with a sharp point, or a hammered finger. When this kit is given as a gift it would be a good idea to have some wood pieces handy or a project kit because the child will want to start using them right away.

I bought it for a 10year old and it can be adjusted as he grows and to hunt with up until he's a older teenager or young adult. Got opinion from group of Bow hunters I work with.

In my open honest opinion, buy it for you daughter. It is very well built, with all the extra's that you get with the bow set it is well worth the price. I bought this set for my 5 year old grandson, it is almost a little advanced for his age. I would say it would be perfect for your 9 year oldgirl. She would have lots of years of use before having to advance to a more complex bow. Matter of fact, I like using this bow myself. It ismost definitely not a toy. It's a powerful little bow. Bear makes a very high quality archery bow and equipment. I hope I didn't overly answer yourquestion. However, I believe your child would have years of use and enjoyment with this bow set............... In my open honest opinion, buy it for you daughter.

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