my son and daughter have these, great bows and they grow with the kid so your not buying a new one every year cause they grew two inches.  :tup:

is she a serious shooter?  are you looking to get he started inexpensively?  traditional or compound? 

My 6 year old daughter is shooting her mini genesis.  she's been shooting since she was 2.  started with a Bear 1st Shot stick bow.  she shoots 3d with me and is about ready to step up to sights and maybe a release.  the next step will be one of the very adjustable bows on the market these days like the menace or diamond infinite edge.  but she needs more physical strength to hold the mass of the bow first.   :tup:

She already shoots with the bear compound no adjustment for.cams , draw length or poundage . IM looking to.get her a real compound that she can shoot like her daddy does.

Does she want a longbow?  I have several youth longbows.

then you're on your way to the Menace, Infinite Edge... i think PSE might have a super adjustable bow, too. 

archerytalk classifieds might be a good place to check on used prices, if $ is an issue (if you're like me!  :'()

The Menace and Infinity Edge are both a little to big for a 7 year old now in my opinion.  The adjustability is fine for poundage and draw length, but overall the bow is too big.  (Just my opinion once again)  Of those two bows, I'd recommend the Infinity Edge over the Menace.  I've owned both.  Personally, I'd shop for a smaller framed bow for her for the next couple years.  They generally can be found for very cheap.

I highly recommend the Bear Apprentice 2, I have two of them, for a 7yo and a 9yo. Extremely adjustable.
