Good Evening Gentlemen (and I use the term loosely!),
My daughter's 12th birthday is next month and I think I would like to get her a good beginner bow. She's very into the "Hunger Games" and keeps talking my ear off about how cool she thinks bows and arrows are. I got my first compound at the age of 11, and even though I never hunted or competed with it, I spent a good amount of time shooting hay bails and plastic deer to develop a decent eye for handling this weapon. I think that this will develop confidence in her ability to protect herself down the road as well as keep her in tune for shooting at targets whether it be an arrow or bullet.
I've done a bit of research but have no idea on where to start. I'm thinking that I want to go a bit more quality than what is lying on the bottom shelf under the holsters and wrist rockets at Bi-Mart (unless those are good for beginners!) but don't want to break the bank on something that is on the wall at fisherman's. I think under $100, but I'm not sure. Also, should I go compound?
I would love to hear your thoughts and thanks in advance!
