I got this bow for my 9 year old grandson for xmas. He never used one before, but after we showed him what to do,he got real good at hitting the target. Very nice set-up.

We purchased this bow for our 8 year old daughter, she is a gymnast so very slight in build. The bow work great.

This would be perfect for him. Our kids have had theirs for a year now and have used the heck out of them. This is a durable, great starter set for right and left handed kids. It's also fun to use an adult.

Yes the bow comes with 3 arrows but there not the greatest. Once you have the draw length set your better off going 2 your local archery shop and getting better arrows and they will cut them to the proper length

I mentioned the truth 2 youth bow in my earlier reply. I looked back at my amazon order history and saw a bought it in sept 2012 for $309 from reds gear, they no longer carry it and I saw Amazon has it for $579, quite a bit more than I paid. If you aren't getting it for a young shooter their are better deals to be had. let me know if you have any other questions.

I purchased this for my 18 year old nephew and it was a great beginner for him. He had no experiece w a bow.

the overall height of the bow is to short for an adult. Look for something atleast 50" tall but most adult are more comfortable in a 60" + bow. As for weight of the pull, this has a good range for a beginning adult. 15lb would be ideal for learning good form while building up the muscles used to shoot.

Could go either sex- nice little starter bow for a beginner. Bought it for my 6 year old grandson, he loves it. Not super heavy duty but does the job.

I would recommend a lighter draw weight 1 piece for a 13 year old. Probably 30lbs and a good 1 piece fiberglass bow should be less expensive also.

Hey Dylan, That bow is probable gonna be way to easy for you to draw...and too small also. A fellow your size (as I am also) Should be drawing around 30 to 31 inches in draw length....and at least 50 lbs draw weight....I prefer the solocam bow types...the ones with one eccentric cam pulley and one very round pulley...these are very stable bows and tend to stay in tune better than the twin eccentric cam bows do... Just about any brand name would work fine...Matthews, Hoyt, Browning, PSE, Bear. This little bow isnt exactly a toy but feels like one in my hand. I would recommend a Matthews solocam bow for you.

The 12 year old we have couldn't draw the bow. If your grandson is large for his age, he may not have an issue. I suggest heading to your local sports supply shop to get a better idea of what you are buying. I walked into this blind, and had I known better, would have gone in a different direction.

No, I'm sorry, there isn't. Left handed bows are hard to come by. My husband is left handed and my son is not so we've had both. Just FYI the 4-H camps offer an archery camp during the summer and would probably be able to turn you on to a bow site or store, and it might be worth checking out the camp info online. Good luck!

This bow I bought for my daughter, it's easy for her to pull back and she's ten. I suggest for you to get a big bow. Good luck.

I'm an adult and left handed and haven't had a problem. My daughter is 6 and is right handed. Either way is fine... It isn't "handed." You can use either hand to hold or draw the bow back.

Dear Rachel, this bow is meant especially for right handed archers. Hope i helped :D

The other responses are correct, arrow length depends on the draw length. You don't need youth arrows, but you will want them cut to size (don't need to at first as the ones it comes with will work for a first time shooter.) One note though, if you are buying this for a growing youth I would recommend having them be a little longer than an adult setup would usually be. My daughter grew quite a bit in a year and her draw length changed significantly. Now what I usually do is keep any usable, broken arrows that I have for my bow from our target shoots and cut them to length for my daughter. Saves a little money for me and my daughter now had some really nice arrows to use. The other responses are correct, arrow length depends on the draw length.

If I were you, I would buy a bow with a stronger draw weight so that it can grow with you. It would be ideal for you now, but you will get drastically stronger over the next few years, and you will wish for a stronger bow. I know that for the price, this one has nice features, but I would recommend spending a bit more and getting a better bow. You aren't a beginner, so you will be left wanting for more with this bow.

You should be fine. I use this bow with my daughter, it is just about 1.5 inches short on draw length for me, but should be appropriate for your son

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.
