Bear Archery Wizard Bow for Youth, Recommended Ages 5-10, Ambidextrous, Continuous Draw Weight Up to 18 lb., Continuous Draw Length Up to 24-inches

I wanted to teach my kids the way I was taught. This little bow was exactly what I was looking for. Good quality, and not to expensive. In my youth, Every two years our extended family would have a family reunion. We have a BIG family, and often hired people to come to the reunion and hold classes or host events for the family members. There was always this little old lady that came, we called her "snowy" because of her white hair, and she was hired to teach us Archery. She professionally taught archery to kids at summer camps, so she always showed up with 6 targets, 12 bows, and dozens or arrows. I went through her class so many times, I felt qualified to teach my own children, so I bought this bow. It is exactly like what she used to teach us with. This bow if perfect for teaching children (12yrs and older) how to use a bow. It is not a re-curve, or a compound bow, but the principles of archery are the same. This bow is perfect for teaching kids about stance, aiming, release, and constancy of technique. It's a simple bow, solid fiberglass with plastic ends and a molded rubber grip. I've seen these bows last for years and years. This one looks to be able to do the same.

The bow is made of metal with a plastic handle. Seems very well made. I shot it myself, and seems like it is good for children. My son is 9 and doesn't have any trouble with it. He can't pull it back all the way quite yet, but it still works for him. String is solid. Bought with GPP 28" arrows and a foam block by black hole. Good out door fun that is not a video game. GET IT

Received a Grey one though I ordered green. But yeah that’s ok. My son (4yrs old) was using a 12lb bow for two weeks and we thought to move up. We tried Bear Apprentice and Barnet’s Wildhawk but the draw was heavy. Bear’s spark draw was too low. But he was able to draw Bear’s Wizard easy though not the full draw. But yes in three/ two weeks he should be . Perfect bow for Teens, petite adults , backyard archery and beginners too. Cheap and best .

The Amazon page shows photos it says are from the manufacturer that say that it includes a finger tab, two arrows, armguard and paper target. This items comes with none of these things. The mfg. list price for this bow alone is $24.99 so the more than 50% larger price also led me to believe this was the higher price because it was for the kit. But alas, the price is simply MUCH higher than the mfg. list price.

Looked all around local stores but sadly couldn't find this nice simple bow for children. Glad to find a seller online. It works perfect for my 6 year old daughter and is easy for her to fire. Works well for making sure your child is into archery before going out and investing more into their new hobby.

it you want a better bow you can get it but it will be pricy so a perfect starter bow and it will not break the bank when you move up to a stronger pull

I bought this for myself as my first bow. I ended up giving it to a 9 year old I was showing archery to because she became EXTREMELY good with it in like, 2 hours. This bow is easy to use, accurate, and fun. The handle was just uncomfortable since I'm 23, but even then I had some guy shoot one of my bows so far it fell on top of the building quite a bit a way -- and he was barely pulling. It's really powerful, and easy to use for a child. It's also great for someone like me who's petite (5'4") and new to archery. Really good bow for the price.

Bought this bow for my 5 yo son. I had bought bought him a "fancier" starter bow but it really was not as powerful as I was hoping. This one really worked out well for us. Currently shooting it with some of my old 400 spine arrows with feathers. I would not recommend shooting with plastic fetching used on a compound bow since you will be shooting off the shelf. I love that it is ambidextrous since I'm discovering my son is left eye dominant. My son is big for five and is doing well with this bow I do not think he would have been able to use it before he turned 5 and even I enjoy shooting a few arrows through it so I'm sure it will last him a long time.

knobs broke on the ends of both bows real fast, and bows became unusable

Received only the bow, no arrows, nothing else...very disapointed.

Good bow, not to powerful. The arrow holder could be better
