My son who was 3 at the time messed around with one when he came out to El Paso to spend a few weeks with me last year. The guys at the bow shop tuned it down as low as it would go so he could draw it back. He loved it and Santa is bringing him one for Christmas this year. We shoot a lot of 3D at that bow shop, and at least one shot is a bonus shot where you have to use some different bow. One shoot had this bow as the bonus shot bow and I was surprised with how quick and accurate it was. I think it would be a great bow to start a young kid off with.
