archery set suitable for 11 yr old

This is a toy. We used it as a prop. Would not be enjoyable for a child learning about archery. Go to a sporting goods store and ask about age appropriate archery equipment if you are looking for more than a toy.

My 18 year old daughter likes the bow alot. She is a new hunter to bow hunting so we are not sure yet how she will love it. I have been shooting this bow with her and I like it. Of coarse the arrows are not the greatest but they are good for practicing. We have had alot of fun with this bow so far.

My son was 12 when we got it.....I think any age between grades 4-8 would be good. Very interesting set! He still loves it!

If the 11 year old was 5 feet tall or more I would go a step up to a "junior" set. I think Yamaha makes one. They are more expensive. While the quirky of the Gammon is good for a children's set it is really for the 4-10 year old. Hope this helps

This is a starter bow and sized for kids 7 to perhaps 14. A stature such as yours, would merit a bigger and bow with more resistance. Sorry, i don't know enough to make suggestions.

We like the bow. The arrows seemed good at first, but then the tips fell off. They can be repaired, just glue them back on. The rest of the set is just cheap. All in all it's worth the money. The bow seems sturdy and is holding up. It's definitely for play, but I can shoot it too which is fun. My son is 6 yrs.

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.

The bow is 34" & I thought the 12" arrows would be a little short so I got the pack of 18". It was a good decision. The 12s can be used but the 18s are better.

If the bow that your 6 year old is shooting has an arrow rest, go with the 28" or even the 30" that way you wont have to renew these arrows when he gets a little older. If he is shooting a traditional type of bow like low poundage youth longbow without a Modern style arrow rest then go with less then 28" coz aiming with longer arrows is more difficult & ruins posture & learning technique. Although 27" is quite ideal for kids less than 10 years of age, for the bad quality of the fletchings on these arrows & taking into account that the arrows from this seller does not come in 27" I would recommend getting 27" arrows from Another seller. Hope that helped. If the bow that your 6 year old is shooting has an arrow rest, go with the 28" or even the 30" that way you wont have to renew these arrows when he gets a little older.

Sandy, I would not recommend this bow for a 40 year old male. This is a light, 10-20# bow. My son is 11 yrs old, and he uses a 35# bow at his dad's house for hunting. I got this bow for him because it is a NASP approved bow--National Archery for the Schools Program. This is the only bow he can use to take archery in school. I would recommend a heavier bow for your son, especially if he intends to hunt with it.

Yes, it would be appropriate for an eleven year old. However, I am currently waiting for a replacement unit, as it was defective.

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

I purchased a set of 12 28" inch arrows for my son and they worked great with this bow.

This is a good bow to start off with. My son is 11 and is a good size. He can pull it and hold it to aim and shoot. His older cousin which is 13 could not do the pull back. So for a beginner, yes its a good start. Technique...

I would say yes my daughter is 11 and she loves hers it is perfect size to grow with her. She will be able to use it until she is ready for a full size. We love this bow from here because it comes with the guide and and if you were to buy it separate it would be another $ 40-$50 .

Yes! We got it for my sons 8th birthday and he loved it! We got him the bow, extra arrows, and the target. I recommend them all so they aren't shooting at windows and such!
