Literally Living the Dream
« on: August 01, 2018, 11:35:48 AM »
My son turned 6 this weekend. Got him the Bear Brave Bow. I was a little apprehensive on how he’d take to it but had confidence he was ready. After a couple assisted teaching shots, he was off and running.

These are the moments where I sit back and realize, I am living the dream.

My 2 boys will be six in November and I've been toying with getting them bows.  How big is your son?  I'm trying to figure out if they are big enough yet.

That's Great! He is about 45" tall and weighs around that. The bow seemed to be cranked all the way up when I got it home so I backed it off 2 full turns which they say is 1lb each. He is right at the upper edge of the draw back but it made him use his core and back to draw so I left it. I think the bow goes from 15 to 25lb draw weight so assuming it was maxed when I got it, he would be at 23 lbs.

Its says the draw length is adjustable but I haven't figured that out yet and there literature is pretty vague.

Good luck it is a great feeling!
