    Default Kids and Archery

    What do you guys think is a good age to start a kid? My youngest are 3 & 4 and the same height and weight, they show a lot of interest every time me and the other 2 kids get the bows out, just wondering if they are too young!

    I didn't start my girls till they were 7. If you would start them that early, keep the session really short & shoot at something alittle more active ( balloons etc.)
    Life should be measured by how many selfless acts of kindness someone does to positively influence somebody else's life.

    Do they make anything a kid that small could pull?

    This is the one my niece and nephew started out on around 4-5 years old. RayRay is right, try to keep it fun for them and short sessions or they lose interest.

    Get them something to shoot for sure. Even if it is a little brave bow from walmart. I started both of my sons off at 3. I think the diamond nuclear ice would work too if you are looking for more of a "real" bow...
