Title: Youth bow
Post by: huntandjeep on November 13, 2015, 05:35:23 PM: My 7 year old has outgrown her compound bow. Looking for an upgrade from the $45 Bear she has now. About the only one I'm seeing is the Diamond Atomic youth. Is this the only option out there ? She really wants one like mine with the with the " circle you look through at the light up things and the hand thingy and an arrow holder " :chuckle: I don't have a problem with the price or the bow ( I shoot a Diamond ) but can't find any others like it. Thanks Allen

I think a peep is too complicated for a 5 year old. I had a kisser button put on for her and she does alright with that.

That's good to hear. How did you teach her to not pull the trigger until at full draw ? I'm worried about mine dry firing it before she gets it to full draw.
