Title: Bow for a six year old
Post by: HighlandLofts on July 06, 2017, 04:47:43 PM: My grandson want to real bow to shoot, he just turned six years old. I'l like to get him someting that will last his a couple of years before he out grows it. I was thinking of buying him a compound bow.

Any suggestions on what to buy?

Adjustable draw weight from 5lbs all the way up to 70lbs.
Adjustable draw length from 13" up to 31".
The price new isn't too bad either. Of course you could look around for a used one too.
I got one for my daughter and couldn't be happier.

That is a good bow also and what I upgraded my daughter to after she grew out of the atomic. The thing with the infinite edge is it is pretty long ATA. I would almost go to a Mission Craze because of the shorter ATA, it is just as adjustable just a little bit smaller if you are thinking about getting one for a 6 year old.
