I have one (longbow) for various kids to shoot. Great value. Short story- my niece's boy was drawing about 20" (he was about 8 or 9 at the time and small for his age) and the bow is rated at 18#@24". He was getting bored shooting at a target so I said 'lets see how far you can shoot". I was guessing he might shoot perhaps 50 yards. We were in a grassy area and the car was parked sideways at the other end, just over 100 yards away. His first arrow landed just in front of the car. I said "we're done".
