Longbow for 6 year old
« on: November 05, 2012, 09:12:00 PM »
How long of a bow should I get for my six year old son.  His little maddog recurve is getting too small for him.  I believe the one he has now is 18# at 21".  He doesn't really need a step up weight.  I want a longbow this time for some torsion stability so his dad don't twist it during stringing.

Black Rhinos are great kids bows and Chuck is very good at matching the shooter to the bow.  They are a TG sponsor.   www.bows.net

Depending on the bow. It could varies between 3-5lbs increase per inch. 18#@21 translates to roughly 27/33#@28.

My 6-year old has a 48" Maddog.  It's a great little bow.
