I went to the Childrens charity shoot yesterday with my family And elkhunter loaned my 12 year old daughter a bow to shoot along with me,She had a wonderful time and is asking for a bow.,What would be the best bow I could get that she might get a couple of years out of.

do you want a tradional(recurve/longbow) or compond?

If you are buying compound, I'd go with a Diamond Razor Edge or a Diamond Edge(it's the pre 2009 model). Also Parker has some nice youth bows. Look at the Sidekick.

These bows have adjustable draw length and poundage that you can change. in fcat the razor edge is adjustable to 60 lbs. You'll get plenty of years of use from them.

If yuo need to spend less money, there are other options like a Browning Micro Midas and a Mathews Genesis.

Thank you very much.I will look at them.

the bow she shot yesterday was a genisis.....

if she is not wanting to jump in head over heals right off the bat.... that bow fits anybody from 3 to 103......

if she wants to start shooting a lot i would look at all youth bows made by the major manerfactors and decide which one fits her the best

I took her to woods and waters today and talked to the pro.He had just gotten an order in and his little shop was full.he told me to bring her back next week and he would let her shoot everything in the house and let her decide what she likes.They had next to eveything but the diamond but I think they had the bowtech counterpart.We'll see what she likes next week.

What is the Bowtech counterpart? Diamond is Bowtech? If it is really a "Bowtech conterpart", you'll pay more.

Sounds like you're on the right path though. Shooting a variety of bows is the way to go.
