Bear Archery Apprentice Bow Set.

Durable only thing is the knock will fall off that holds the arrow. Need to super glue it on before it goes flying off. Great value for the money kids first bow great present for Christmas or birthdays and the beginner bow archery set.

Got two of these one for each of my grandsons they love them, learning how to actually use them also.

I got this bow for my son (8) and daughter (10) a few weeks ago to teach them the basics of archery without moving to a more advanced bow. It has foam rollers for them to use rather than a release like you would use for a compound bow you may use for hunting. So far it holds up well and they are shooting at about 10-15 yards to learn consistency and shooting form. I do think they will move up to a bow with a heavier draw (I believe this one goes from 6-13 lbs) shortly but for $30 and gauging their interest in the sport I thought this would be great. It has certainly met the intentions of what we bought it for. Younger kids could definitely also use this bow as my two are probably on the older side but this was the first bow they learned to shoot with much at home. One downside is that it only comes with two arrows. We were doing a lot of walking back and forth to the target for just two arrows, so I bought three more which works out great. Doing it again, I would probably just buy it all together if anyone is looking for advice. Note that there is no sight or ability to put a sight on this bow but again, this bow seems more introductory to get kids to learn how to pull back and fire arrows than to become a marksman archer. However, for $30 you won't find much downside if you are trying to introduce your kids to archery at a young age.

The media could not be loaded. Over all this seems to be a good starter bow for my 9yr old. It’s not adjustable and the arrow rest fell off the first time she shot it but it can be glued back on. She loves it and seems to shoot pretty well with it.Bought this one for our 5yr old. https://www.amazon.com/Bear-Archery-Valiant-Bow-Set/dp/B07YQ4JJDL/ref=mp_s_a_1_31?dchild=1&keywords=bear%2Byouth%2Bbow&qid=1609825097&sr=8-31&th=1&psc=1

Grandson loves it! Very sturdy built

I got this for my four-year-old, the bottom end of the recommended age range. She’s a HUGE (tall) four-year-old and mistaken for a kid MUCH older, easily 5-6, on a regular basis. I checked her draw length against the stated range of the bow before I ordered and she -should- have been in the range. She can draw and hold the weight no problem, and sadly she LOVES the bow. Problem is, the draw length puts her hold about 3” behind her EAR. And there is NO way to adjust it either, at least not that I can find and not according to my local shop (which specializes in Bear). So it’s either let it sit for a year or more or return it. I’ve already replaced it with a standard recurve which she does love but she’s SUPER disappointed that she can’t shoot a bow “like daddy’s”.

If you can get this cheaply it's a great. In a sense that's true of a lot of things, but in this case it's made in a way so as to be able to be very cheap, making it a good, fun starter bow for a young kid who doesn't know if he's interested in archery or not. The rubber finger protectors on the string make it very easy to pull, though they do make proper finger position and release more important in order to get a halfway accurate shot. Just be prepared to buy real arrows if you want them to be able to stick into a target - the included "safety arrows" are blunt and will bounce off of anything more tightly packed than sand or loose straw. If you've got real arrows and a close target (about 10 yards) it's even fun for an adult to play with - and I recommend doing that so you can teach the child how to use this bow specifically. Note: for some reason the arrow rest (a black plastic tab) comes in the bag with the instructions, it's not factory applied, so don't forget to put it on before shooting.

My bow hunter husband got this for our 6 year old to learn with. It's accurate and easy for him to use. Excellent first bow!
