Best bow for 11 year old

[---Damo---]

Just wanting to know what you guys think is the best bow for a beginner aged 11?we have looked on cabelas and found some nice fred bear and other combo sets for under $100.He would prefer a compound.What have you guys bought for your kids and how have they performed?..Thanks...Damo

My young bloke's got a Micro midas and it's great for him.

LOTS of adjustment options and pretty sturdy too.

They are not real cheap brand new and go like hot cakes second hand.

A good buy for a junior in my opinion as it can grow with him (reminds me I have to go lengthen the draw ;) ).

cheers,

Luke

The Micro Midas would be my first option...my 14yo has a Fred Bear Sparrowhawk 2...great little splitlimb bow..comes with full set of mods..is quiet and cheap;)

Thanks for the info guys.what price are we looking at?

[Luke]

The M M 4 was over the $350 mark (from memory but could be wrong).

I got lucky and picked Taylor's up for $200 with a rest and a doz arrows.

For mine at that price it is outstanding value, at $350 though... not so sure ;)

cheers,

Luke

i started off with a perfectline 20lb compound, i paid $175 and you get half a dozen arrows, target face and a finger tab. not a bad beginners bow, i nailed my first 10 bunnys with that bow.

thanks dan.

my younger brother bought a Micro Midas 4 for $350. We chose that becasue of the mass amount of adjustments. been shootin that for about 2 years.
