would this bow work for a 4 year old?

It depends a little bit on their strength and coordination. My 5 year old can do it with success and my 3 year old has some trouble. However a lot of her struggle is coordinating holding the bow and keeping the arrow on the string.

Definitely not. This is a real bow. A 4 year old would have a hard time making this work and if he or she did it would be hard for the little person to do so safely. I have a 15" thick foam target. This bow will put the target arrows it comes with nearly 2 inches in. My 7 year old is getting the hang of it but he wont be playing with it alone.

Great! I got it for my 4-year-old son in August and he loves it. He is able to pull it back and hit a 2'x2' target from 8 yards away...holding steady is the trick he is yet to master, but that's any beginning archer. Good quality arrows come with it too.

I'd say it's too big and too powerful for a 4-year-old. I'd want something with rubber suckers at the end of the arrows for a child that small. This set can gouge a pine tree.

Yes, it would be a good starter bow for you. My stepson is 11 and it's just a little bit hard to pull for him.

Yes, a very good bow for a boy fo that age - I have 6 nephews and each has gotten one around their 10th to 12th birthday and could not be happier!

I wouldn't recommend it if you want it to be a toy that lasts a while. Arows did stick but bow kept coming apart. Not for an 11 yr. old.

I got my daughter the same bow (except pink) and she is 8. The size a weight are great but the draw length is almost to short for her. The bow itself was smaller than what I thought it would be, for now it works great for her but in a year I think she will need something bigger.

Yes, a four year old can easily operate it. The horzontal orange piece at the bottom is how it shoots. You just push and pull that piece forward and back. Have fun!

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.

Probably. My 4 yr old wanted it, but I think she was too old for it. For one she was as tall as a 6 yr old and the height is made for maybe a 3 yr old without bending over. It'd be better for a 2 yr old with the limited outfit changes that don't keep the attention of older kids.

No this is a beginner slash youth bow. Its a small frame. It would be good for a small woman or teenager

Yes! My daughter is only 2 and just loves it. She uses her little Minnie Mouse step stool to reach everything. It would be perfect for a 4 year old.

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

Maybe not ... depends on the 4 year old's ability to think mechanically. I gave one to a 7 year old and he had no problem.

Yes, i have a four year old that uses it. As long as your child is 40lbs and 40" tall, you should be fine.

It will do. It will do better for a 4 year old. By the time s/he turns 5 it will probably be way too small.

Yes! We got it for our son when he was 2 1/2. He is almost 4 now and his projects keep getting more intricate. I would recommend this great toy for a 4 year old.

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

Yes it will work, my son is 5ft. 3in. 150 lbs and he used it very well, let him try work with drawing the bow back he should get use to it.
