Bow for a 4 yr old?

[Captrix]

I've been looking at the kids bows but I'm not sure which one my son will be able to use. The ones at Walmart look like they might work for him but I don't want to spend the money and it not work. I want a bow that he can use while I'm shooting my bow. Have any of y'all bought a bow for your 4 or 5 yr olds? Which one? Awhile back there was a guy on here that had an old one his kids used and he was going to send it to me but never did. I mailed him a paid UPS label and I never heard back from him. So I'm just going to buy Shane a bow, just not sure which one. I know I've seen them around $50 - 100 at Academy and Walmart. Any suggestions?

I have 2 mini Genesis bows for my 4 and 6 year olds, but they are expensive. One of the guys on my lease (who is a rep for Martin) was telling me about these....

Looks like you can get the whole set up for $75.

Honestly, had I known about these I probably would have gone this direction, they look pretty sweet. The biggest problem my kids have is keeping the arrow on the rest.

I bought one of the 50 dollar academy bows when my kids were little. It would ALMOST shoot ten yards if you aimed high enough. It did not specify draweight, but I'd guess 5# or so. I really like the new Matthews kid bow. Mission maybe? They are gonna be a good bit more than the cheapies, but pretty cheap and very adjustable for a starter bow.

See my avatar. Lily had just turned 4 in that pic. 2Bill from San Jose recommended a longer string to make it easier for her and it works great.

I've seen those but even $100 is pushing it. So I'll stick to something cheaper. he'll like it just as much.

Both Walmart and Academy have good return policies......try it and if he can't use it, back to the shelf it goes....

I have a bow I bought for my daughter (nothing fancy) and she has not shown any interest... it needs someone who wants to shoot it and it's yours if you want it... just let me know
