What length arrow is needed for this bow? For a 12 yr old?

Depends on his draw length have him measured that will tell the arrow length

The one that the 12 year old feels most comfortable with. Children learn and grow differently. :)

I'm 12 and I bought one of these a couple of months ago. There is no set arrow length for age groups. It depends on his/her arm length for me my arrows are 27''.

Depends on the draw length. Have him/her stand against wall with arms outstretched. Measure. Divide by 2.5 and that is draw length. Example for 25 inch draw you can go 26. You can actually go shorter but I like a little extra to clear fingers.

Depends on what their draw it you will need to go to sportmans wharehouse or some place that has bows for sale and get his draw measured they will then st the bow to match hope this helps

The other responses are correct, arrow length depends on the draw length. You don't need youth arrows, but you will want them cut to size (don't need to at first as the ones it comes with will work for a first time shooter.) One note though, if you are buying this for a growing youth I would recommend having them be a little longer than an adult setup would usually be. My daughter grew quite a bit in a year and her draw length changed significantly. Now what I usually do is keep any usable, broken arrows that I have for my bow from our target shoots and cut them to length for my daughter. Saves a little money for me and my daughter now had some really nice arrows to use. The other responses are correct, arrow length depends on the draw length.

I think that it depends on your style of arrows and how you shoot. The quiver is only 2 3/4" diameter, so 10 I would think would be the max. For my daughter, she tends to shoot no more than 6 per round, so it is sufficient.

Assembled the arrow was just over 24 inches. It was a good kit and the arrows assembled easily.

The draw weight (less than 14 lbs I think) is much less than an "adult" bow which can be up around 30 lbs or more. This is the force it takes to pull the arrow back fully. I also think it is slighly smaller.

6 to 90. My 8 year old daughter does fine with this bow. When adjusted under 25 pounds, the sight is not useable at ranges over 10 yards unless you use a very light arrow. It is now adjusted for my 12 year old daughter to 35 pounds. It shoots a light carbon arrow pretty fast. I am 60 years old and shoot it often.

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.

these bows are 47 inches when strung. I bought two, for a 13 yr old grand daughter and a 8 year old grandson. They have shot them all year, in fact are shooting them now, and they have been great. Both kids are developing pretty good skills. I set up a twenty yard range with hay bales in the back yard. We're well pleased Jim

Spencer, The package comes with 14'' arrows, but if you are looking to use broadheads then I would recommend 16''. Best, Bruce

Hi Courtney, All the Wildcat packages up to 30# come with 28" Feather fletched Easton scout arrows. This length would be appropriate for archers up to 5'10" ish. Over 30# packages come 29" arrows.

I believe it will depend on the length of arrow you order. The are available in 3 different lengths. My son has a shorter draw because he is a smaller person so the 26 inch works great. If you are a teen or young adult you most likely will be using a longer arrow because you have a stronger/longer draw and 30 inches would be okay. If you are hunting game a different bow is most likely in order....these are good for practice targets.

I took the bow to our local sports store and they made the arrows for my girl, the bow is now to small for her, I believe that the length were 17

It comes with 2 28" arrows so that's what I got when I bought extras. I think the arrow length depends on the draw weight and your draw length, I tried to look up how your supposed to figure it out but I didn't find much. The 28" have worked fine for me and I'm a 5'6 woman.

No idea other than its dimensions. I got it for my sons youth bow and based on the dimensions it would fit. The dimensions are like if it was rectangular and not triangular like the picture shows. I am sure the length is what it says just a little deceiving because it isn't rectangular and it didn't fit our bow. Hope that helps.

By size do you mean length? If so that will depend on the draw length. If you are new to archery I recommend going to your local archery shop to get arrows. Take the bow with you and they can set you up with the proper draw length and make the arrows to fit. I hope this helps

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.
