Title: Literally Living the Dream
Post by: cbond3318 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!

:yeah:

I have one who's six and we will be moving to eastern WA soon.  I would like to get him started in archery as we will have much much more outdoors time and space. 

Now I see you answered above.  Well done, dad.

Awesome! My oldest watches me and my wife shoot most nights and is constantly asking for his own bow. Then he goes and bow hunts bighorn sheep in our pasture lol looking forward to that moment!

Thats awesome.  I started my son at 5 just took him out and let him blow on the coyote call and hiked around and drank hot chocolate and hostess pies.  By 6 he was shooting his 243.  At 8 he passed hunter safety and on his second day of deer hunting shot a pretty good 3 point.  Can out hunt  and out shoot me any day of the week

Keep the kids on this path and it will serve them and you well....

Bought my 11yr old granddaughter her first bow about 2 months ago. She's ready to increase her draw weight. Next is hunter safety so she can go out next year with us.
