Bow for 9 year old daughter
« on: March 22, 2016, 10:05:27 PM »
My daughter will be 9 this summer.  She has been shooting since she was 2.  Right now she's shooting a Genesis Mini but has progressed beyond the capabilities of her equipment.  I have been looking at the available ultra adjustable bows:  Diamond Infinite Edge, Bear Cruzer, Bear Cruzer Lite, Mission Menace II, Mission Craze II, Mission Hype, Mission Hype DT, Hoyt Ignite, PSE Elation, PSE Fever, Martin Carbon Stratos CR. 

I have narrowed the search to the Infinite Edge, Bear Cruzer Lite, and Mission Menace II.  My scientific method included all the specs and how they relate to my daughter.  I showed her the candidates and she likes the Bear Cruzer Lite.  In purple.  Left handed.   :o  It looks like a great choice, but the ATA is REALLY short!  27.125"!!!  :yike:  The Infinite Edge and Menace II are both 31" ATA.  Anyone have an opinion on this?

I'll have a used Bear Apprentice II available for about $100 after today. It has new strings and the stock whisker biscuit still on it. I know it's not on your list but I bet it would be a good choice and cheap.

My 9 year old son has a mission bow that he can adjust draw length and poundage from now till adulthood. It is great. They are a great solution.

That's a good deal on a great bow for a 9 year old.   :twocents:

I bought a Diamond Infinite Edge for my son.
He is a beefy 12yr old but I dialed it way back so I could adjust the cams and start him out easy.
It shot great with 500 spline arrows with 75gr tips.
He is now in the 35-40lb range and the 500 splines smoke right out there.
The Diamond will take her as far as she wants to go.
There is a LH Diamond Razor in the classifieds right now.

I got my daughter a Mission Craze. Really popular at our club for kids bows because they grow with the kids.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Ya, I was looking at the Razor Edge in the classifieds.  My only issue with that is they weight almost 4 pounds.  My daughter has held them before and the mass weight is a bit much for her.  But it's a heck of a deal!  I'd also have to paint it...  :chuckle:
