Title : A Club Bow for Kids
Detailed Review : At first my son hated the idea of a recurve bow with the odd shaped handle. It took a little coaxing to get him to shoot it on the indoor range. After he plugged six or so successive golds on the target from various distances (shooting bare-bow) he was sold. This is a great step up from those little fibreglass bows. Vastly improved power and accuracy. The difference from backyard play to Club play. Since then his accuracy and technique have continued to develop rapidly and is keeping his interest in the sport strong. The only downside was that the limbs tended to twist and required "shims" inserted to hold them straight. The bow string is also a bit short and sits above the groove on the limb, not in it. These are only minor issues when you consider the price. In summary, a suitable budget cost bow for kids to progress through whilst learning basic skills.
