Thanks again for all the posts. She got a kick out of seeing where you folks live. The Yukon, New Zealand, Canada, MT....it's amazing how excited they get over the simple things!
I've been fortunate to teach quite a few kids how to shoot the bow and the best advice I can give is light bow weight! Light bows give folks complete control of the bow, which gives complete control of the release. If you match the bow with a good set of arrows they all shoot quick and straight.
I have the kids stand up straight and draw the bow until their rear elbow lines up with their bow hand creating a perfect line and an ideal release. From there hitting the target gets pretty easy. Young eye and hand coordination is amazing....
