Young lady, nine soon

Grand daughter is showing some interest, what is a good starter, 20 or so pounds, that is resalable when she grows out of it?

I am unsure what bows exactly they are but a lot of manufacturers now are making 20-50 lb adjustable bows so she will be able to use it for a very long time. Look into what PSE, Bowtech, Mathews have.

a genesis has great resale if she should decide she isn't interested.  and if she stays with it, the genesis can be used to introduce more people to the sport!   :tup:

:yeah:

I see the Diamond Infinite Edge a lot and have read some good reviews on it. It's geared to do exactly that, grow with someone. It goes from 5-70 lbs and 13-30 in draw so definitely can be used by a youth for a long time. I don't know overall if it's too large/heavy though for a 9 year old  :dunno: but might be worth looking into.

I would recommend the Diamond Infinite Edge. I have little doubt that a 9 yr old girl would have any trouble handling it. My 10 yr old son has one and it works well for him.

I have a diamond for one of my daughters and a mission craze for the other.  I think I like the mission craze a little bit more.  Both adjust about the same way from light weight and short draw all the way up to a full blown adult hunting bow if they stick with it and no need to go to the pro shop for adjusting.  When peeps and stuff like that need to be moved then you would need to go to the pro shop.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.
