bow for a 5 year old

Check out Pete Ward's site. He has a review of a Samick that is made for kids 5 and under.

I agree with the maddog.  I know it's more than $50( they're $95), but you get a heck of a good custom made bow.  Mike can make a pup recurve, or longbow.  My boys each have a longbow, and love them.  It comes with 4 wooden arrows spined for the bow.

Good timing.  My 5 yo has been wanting to get out and shoot some "real" arrows with me lately.  He's grown tired of the suction cup set.  I'll have to look into some of these.

I would go with Mike at Maddog. Heck of a nice bow and for the price nothing comes close.  I ordered one last summer for my girlfriends 9 year old and she loves it.

I would go with offers for the fiberglass bows or a limbow is what I made for my boys. Either work great. The fiberglass are pretty durable, and you know how kids are.

The most important thing though, is proper arrows! Not the broken ones you have. Save the money for good arrows.
