I am twelve and not sure if this matters but I am 5'4, Do you think that this bow will be too small for me or hard to pull back and shoot? Would you suggest I get a bigger bow?

My 10yr old daughter is able to draw and shoot it without any problems. It's a good beginner bow.

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 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.

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.

I've never had any formal training and I'm not aware of any suggested guidelines in bow size to a persons height. I've shot it myself and the experience was about the same as an adult size bow; just easier to draw.

This bow in my opinion is strictly for youth. I am a bow hunter and I would not use it even if I got in a jam and needed one

No, i would say this would be for at least a 11 year old. A 5 year old would not be strong enough to shoot this bow. They do have other bows for younger shooters though

I would say it is for most ages. The bow is fairly light as is with no extras. The draw length goes from 13(child) to 30(adult) inches. For example I am an adult and my draw is about 28.5 inches. The pull weight goes from 5(child) to 70 lbs(adult) .

Hello, I bought it for my nieces 7th bday and its a nice starter bow. It will require a bit of practice and assistance until she gets the motion down but if she's interested I think it is awesome and you should go for it!

Lisa this bow is not a Good choice for a young archer . It is pretty much a toy . sell it, send it back just get rid of it someway .Go to a Barnett Vortec Jr . youth bow .It is a little more expensive .You can get it here on Amazon , or at your local dealer . It has a real bow string , real sights , and adjustable draw length .It will Grow with your child all the way from practice to real Deer Hunting . Well worth the money !! Easy to adjust draw length ,and Draw weight !!

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.

This is technically a youth bow, however take into account the draw strength and the person who will be using it. There is a wide range of draw levels but I would make sure that the archer using it is able to safely pull on this prior to purchase.

Yes i beleive that these bows are made well and shoot very good. The only trick is, is to be sure that you cock the string equally or your arrow will fly off scope. Also be sure to read the instructions when assembling. I am 19 and love to shoot it.

Hello Vito. The bow belongs to my son and he is 6 foot tall. I am not sure about his draw length, I just know he is very strong. The bow is quite nice if that helps you.Diana Wyatt

I would think it would not be to much of a problem. Just make sure and adjust the cocking device to make it shorter so they can pull to the stomach. If you get it up past the stomach area it gets difficult as you lose leverage. Be sure and preach safety this bow is definitely not a toy, it's fast and accurate with a waxed rail I'm getting well over 315 fps. Very nice bow!!

Age 16, girl, beginner - perfect bow! Get some extra arrows as they are easily lost and are not very stout to start with. Best wishes! Bruce. (don't discard the sight that is embedded in the cardboard that is entangled within the bow strings.) Throw nothing away until you have used the sight! :-) BTW this is a serious bow, you could kill with this (with broadheads - a deer)

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.

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.

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...
