My son is 5, and asked Santa for a "bow and arrow". He loves it!

Good stuff. Any issue with the arrow falling off the rest? My daughter wants one too. I don't want to drop $80 on one she'll use twice then forget about. I've been thinking about one of those but wasn't sure about the rest.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Yeah about every 5th shot he will drop an arrow off the rest. Its a Bear Scout bow...the bow isn't half bad for a kids compound, but the rest is real cheesy. Its a stick on, so when you either break it or lose it you need to get another one. Good for now though.

Good for you!! A suggestion for you...3 fingers under the nock and bring the arrow up closer to his eye so he can use the point as a point of aim... He has great form!

take a look at the martin childs bow it has a shoot through riser so it's hard to have the arrow drop off. It's only for real small kids though.
