She should be able to pull back the 24lb bow, and if you want to use it will be really light for you. One thing before you purchase is you need to find out which eye dominance you two have. If you're both left eye dominant, you can share a left handed bow. If right, then share a right handed one. If you're opposite, which you could be, then you can both use the same bow but it will be much more difficult to aim/less comfortable for one of you. Also, be patient because Katniss trained for a while to get that good and Legolas is elven...

No it's an amazing bow! Great for first time bow hunter/ Archery, kids or Pros. Draw weight goes down to 5 pounds which was great for my 6 year old and in a female and draw back 30 pounds of weight. My husband draws about 60 back. Once you test shoot it and get it sighted in where you want it then this bow will last you for years! :)

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.

This is a toy. We used it as a prop. Would not be enjoyable for a child learning about archery. Go to a sporting goods store and ask about age appropriate archery equipment if you are looking for more than a toy.

Depending upon the maturity, physical size of your child, knowledge of bow safety , and adult supervision I would say age 6 is a good age to begin with this bow. Parts on it started to fall off within the first two weeks my son used it.

I got my daughter the same bow (except pink) and she is 8. The size a weight are great but the draw length is almost to short for her. The bow itself was smaller than what I thought it would be, for now it works great for her but in a year I think she will need something bigger.

It is a great bow. It is good for a child all the way up to an adult. My 12 year old is who ours belongs to, but my adult neighbor who owns one, and shoots competition archery is the one who suggested it to us. He said that since it is so adjustable he will never need another bow.

My 10yr old daughter is able to draw and shoot it without any problems. It's a good beginner bow.

The 12 year old we have couldn't draw the bow. If your grandson is large for his age, he may not have an issue.I suggest heading to your local sports supply shop to get a better idea of what you are buying. I walked into this blind, and had I known better, would have gone in a different direction.

this bow wuld be great for you. i have not measured the arrows but believe they are a regular length. My grandson is 10 and really likes it. the pull though is alittle stiff or tight but it is still new. I am very imppressed with the bow for the price.

That's the great part this is an adjustable bow. I bought it for a 10 year old and I was told by the range staff he could use it all the way to a young adult. It can be used for target range and hunting. Best buy for the money is what I concluded.

This is a starter bow and sized for kids 7 to perhaps 14. A stature such as yours, would merit a bigger and bow with more resistance. Sorry, i don't know enough to make suggestions.

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.

That bow has interchangeable limbs at a reasonable price. He might start out at 35# and develop his bow strength, then get some 45# later. You can probably sell the first set of limbs easily. If you have not yet purchased this bow, you might consider the Samick Sage. I have both, and the Sage is much smoother.

My daughter just turned 7 and is also left handed. She has a little trouble getting the bow to full draw. The bow is set up for both left and right handed shooters.
