FalconFN Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 After doing some archery over the summer my 10 year old daughter now wants a bow for Christmas. Has anyone got any recommendations for a good starter bow that wont break the bank? I've been looking around and Barnett Lil Sioux seems ok for the money but I'm not sure how good they are - has anyone tried these or have any other ideas? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve177 Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 I have a starter bow< that was billed as for kids. You can have if you wish, i have several arrows extra as well. I dont get the chance to shoot as much now i've moved to uckfield to move in with SWHBO. Collect from Uckfield, or can meet next weekend if you wish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenhorn Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 The Barnett lil Sioux is a good little bow for a starter, at 15# draw weight it's easy on the arm to I got my son one. They are well priced for a starter, he now uses a mongol horse bow 28# draw. If you go on to quicks archery website I think they do starter kit for around £90 that's recurve bow, quiver, finger guard, arm guard and a few arrows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
