Title: Best youth Compound bow
Post by: Jayfire83 on June 04, 2020, 02:12:17 PM: Hey guys,
So my 11yr old daughter passed hunters ed and I couldn't be more proud and excited to get her out in the field with her mother and I. Though she won't be archery hunting right out the gate I would love to get her going with a compound bow set up. She has already spent quite a bit of time on a long bow learning the traditional fundamentals, and she loooooves shooting archery :tup:. If you guys have any experiences or advice with the youth compound bows out there it would be greatly appreciated.

As far as youth bows diamond has impressed me. The Razor edge, and big brother Infinite edge pro are perfect for kids of all ages. I have had better luck "tuning" them, they are easily adjustable and they seem to fit smaller persons better than their competitors bows of the same class. My only knock is the placement of the draw adjustment screws.

The PSE Mini burner is another bow that seems to fit that age bracket well. Although it doesn't grow as long. Its a good option if considering upgrading before/when she actually starts bowhunting.

I know a few people who have taken elk with them, very capable bow.

Post by: 724wd on June 13, 2020, 07:50:36 PM: my daughter shoots a bear cruzer lite. 2.2 pound mass weight. lots of adjustment. Killed her first deer with it two years ago and had many chances last year that didn't pan out, but not because of the bow.

R2R, If it were me, I'd hit Lady Red at Camo'd Arrow in Chewelah first. She's wonderful. Black Sheep in CdA has nice stuff. SVA has a good following.
