Need some help on buying traditional bows
I am going to buy traditional bows for my 2 daughters. They are just starting to get serious about shooting. I shoot a compound, but, it's too hard for them to pull back.
How do I know what is the best bow to buy...What are some points that I should look for?
My girls are 9& 13 years old....
thanks..

You can go with a custom job, but what I did with my son was buy him an Internature bow (AIM) Bullsye model. They have limbs from I think 15 pound to 35 pounds. FS Discount archery I think carries them.

RE: Need some help on buying traditional bows
you might try www.women-outdoors.com/traditional
go to the classifieds off the main page, its usually loaded with bows. Post a wanted ad on there.
Like I said early about aim, the amount of goof ups (including kids bows), I wouldnt spend the money. They can be good bows if you have the opportunity to pick through them. The quality control is just that bad!
the first question I would have for you is how much are you wanting to spend on one?

Thanks for your input guys.....
I would spend $50. - $100. on each bow.....
I don't want to invest too much. I know they are going to want a compound once they are strong enough to pull one back. But, I want them to have experience with both kinds.
