If they're old enough to except the concept of safety they are ready to rock and roll

My little brother started when he was 2 with a little plastic bow.  when he was 4 or 5, he got a little compound bow. now he is 16 and winning several tournaments such as Vegas Indoor, and Redding California Marked Yardage, as well as all the local 3-D shoots (shooting as a youth in the mens class)...its never to young to start a kid out!!!

my nephews sons are 3 and 6 the 3yr old shoots a fiberglass longbow and the 6yr old shoots a compound with a release and does pretty good. i think it depends on the kid and the parent and what they want to put into it.
