Size in relation to draw length

Draw length always depends on the shooter. It is defined as the distance and increases with the child's growth. Draw length is measured with an inch-graduated arrow. This measurement is necessary to confirm the size of arrows that the child will use. Therefore, before choosing a bow, it's very important to know your child's draw length.

Our tips for choosing your child's bow

To avoid making the wrong choice, here are some tips to help you choose your kids bow.

Choose the right store

It's always better to carefully choose where you buy your bow and accessories. Opt for a reputable, professional, and reliable address. You can also choose an online archery store and have your beginner bow delivered to your home. Hattila is a reference in terms of online archery.

Choose the right draw weight

The bow's draw weight depends on the child's physical strength and their intended practice. For a child aged 9 to 12 years, the recommended draw weight is between 12 and 16 lbs.

Study the advantages of the equipment

A bow can be made with different materials. Their designs are all different. Choose a bow with hard alloys that are easy to use.

Choose the right size

Still referring to the draw length, the child's height determines the choice of bow. Note that the draw length will change successively for a child.

Conclusion

As different as they may be from one another, regardless of your choice, all types of bows will be advantageous.

  • The longbow is more resistant. The length of their limb allows for stabilized shooting.
  • The short bow is more flexible. Thanks to its energy, the shot is faster.
  • The heavy bow allows shooting at greater distances. However, it causes fatigue more quickly.
  • The light bow is most suitable for a beginner. It is more flexible, easy to use, and less tiring.

How to choose a bow for children?

For your children to practice archery in good conditions, you'll need to choose a bow adapted to their morphology. To do this, you must first determine their draw length, height, and adequate power so they feel comfortable.

Bow size defined by draw length

Draw length always depends on the archer and determines the final size of the bow. It will also evolve with your child's growth, which implies changing bows or at least making modifications as they grow. Don't hesitate to consult our article on "how to measure draw length" to estimate your child's.

Suitable power and weight

Not all children have the same build or strength at the same age.
However, regarding bow power, we recommend for our budding archers draw weights of 10 to 18# at most, and as for the bow's weight, it must also be very reasonable, so the child doesn't develop bad form while shooting.

Compound bows or traditional bows for a child?

But both are possible! The compound bow manufacturers have designed very light small bows, adjustable in both power and draw length, making them perfectly suited to follow children's growth.
As for traditional bows, small takedown wooden bows promise hours of play for your young Robin Hoods!
