Who makes youth bows?
« on: July 05, 2021, 01:24:10 PM »
Hey guys, my 11 year old son has been shooting with me for a few years. He has the basics down but now needs to get a bigger bow.

The Stalker Weasel is the only one on my radar. Are there other companies that offer youth bows?

When do you step up to an 'adult' bow of low poundage?

My son shoots a Maddog pup, and it is awesome…it’s a scaled-down version of an adult longbow.

I would think the appropriate time to “step up” to an adult bow would be more based on draw length and overall body build rather than age. Most youth bows I’ve checked out seem to mention draws of 24” or 26”.

I know Randy at Primal Tech made his young daughter a nice one.  She can out shoot me with it.
I can afford to shoot most any bow I like.  And I like Primal Tech bows.

My grand kids have had a couple Maddog Pups over the years and they really liked them.  Nice bows.  :archer2:

My kids have 2 Maddog’s and a Great Plains Osagian (from 3 Rivers). All three bows shoot great. The Maddog’s cost less, the finish work on the Great Plains is beautiful.

We like St Joe river bows in our house. They are well made, come in a variety of cool colors for the kids to choose from, and they offer a trade in/upgrade program as your kid grows. We will be picking up another one at ETAR this year. Kids grow to fast!

I hate to say this but we will not be at ETAR. This last year has been so busy and they are sold as fast as Tracey completes them,  we just do not have stock built ahead to go to ETAR. Give Tracey a call and we can get what you need going for you.   517-617-3658

Bow man, that’s a bummer, but I am happy that Tracey is keeping busy with orders! Thank you for the update!
