Why don't they make a bow like this for a boy? My grandson is 5 yrs. old and this seems to be a better bow than the other's for his age.

Nerf makes the Blazin Bow Blaster that has a more boyish look to it. It's not exactly the same, but similar. Perhaps they made the Rebelle bow because so many young girls are watching Brave and the Hunger Games Series and are inspired by bow wielding girls. I am quite pleased that, for once, my daughter has a weapon style toy that her brother thinks is cool. Usually, she the one asking why there aren't any "cool" toys made just for girls.

Turn it into a craft/bonding project with your grandson. Order some camo paint and some military stickers and enjoy some time together.

My grandson who is 4 used it this year. I am thinking he may grow out of it by age 8 or so and move up to the next size. Unless your daughter is very petite, she may be better off with a little larger bow to begin with. Just an opinion.

Unless the arrow has a rubber stopper on it no children under 16 years of age should be allowed to shoot a real bow without supervision. I have purchased some of the "dull" or bullet point arrows for my 9 y/o twin granddaughters. They bounce off anything other that a foam target. Again the important thing is SUPERVISION FOR CHILDREN.

It's pretty small for an 8 year old my 3 year old used it. Yes he's the size of a 6 year old but it was great for a starter bow.

Not a good idea. The bow and arrows are soft foam and really don't fly at all well. I bought it for my 9 year old grandson knowing full well that he would use it in the house.So far nothing has broken. But it isn't heavy weight enough to pull a wire. It barely shoots the arrow.

Lisa this bow is not a Good choice for a young archer . It is pretty much a toy . sell it, send it back just get rid of it someway .Go to a Barnett Vortec Jr . youth bow .It is a little more expensive .You can get it here on Amazon , or at your local dealer . It has a real bow string , real sights , and adjustable draw length .It will Grow with your child all the way from practice to real Deer Hunting . Well worth the money !! Easy to adjust draw length ,and Draw weight !!

I think this would be excellent for a kid that age because it has such a wide draw and poundage range. It adjusts from a 13 to 30 inch draw and from 5 to 70 pounds so it can even grow with them as they get older. I love my bow like this and recommend it for any age kid and ladies.

You should be fine. I use this bow with my daughter, it is just about 1.5 inches short on draw length for me, but should be appropriate for your son

I got this for an 8 yr old girl who is very athletic. It was very appropriate for her, and it's not one of those junky toys. I'd say it's too much for a 5 year old...they aren't as coordinated at that age. I did see several other archery sets on Amazon that would probably work for a 5 yr old...much simpler and easier to use.

It's working great for our granddaughter. My husband thinks it would work well for a boy as well!

Yes, it would be a good starter bow for you. My stepson is 11 and it's just a little bit hard to pull for him.

It is a good beginner bow for children to learn how to use a compound bow and sights. My nine year old granddaughter was able to use this bow very well. I believe it is worth the money.

If I were you, I would buy a bow with a stronger draw weight so that it can grow with you. It would be ideal for you now, but you will get drastically stronger over the next few years, and you will wish for a stronger bow. I know that for the price, this one has nice features, but I would recommend spending a bit more and getting a better bow. You aren't a beginner, so you will be left wanting for more with this bow.

My 9 and 10 year old sons have this bow. It was a little hard for them to pull but you are able to adjust it. I would think that it would be great for a 14 year old.

This is technically a youth bow, however take into account the draw strength and the person who will be using it. There is a wide range of draw levels but I would make sure that the archer using it is able to safely pull on this prior to purchase.

I purchased this bow as a beginner bow for my 11yr old twin boys who weigh about 75lbs each. They have difficulty pulling it back, so I should have waited another year or two. She sounds older and bigger and may not have the same problem though.

I don't know what age group but my son is almost 2 and LOVES it. He plays with it in his lap and runs the bow over the strings.
