I work at a camp and conference center and have hundreds of 2nd-6th graders go through the Archery Range each year. The old 20lb recurves that have been here forever are fine for the older kids, but the younger ones struggle with them. We have two old 9.5lb bows that are perfect, that the kids always prefer, but they are not made any more. Other bows that are marketed for children are just as difficult to pull as our 20lb bows even though they boast a lower weight rating. This one has the draw weight, feel, and performance of our smaller ones. Archery is a great way to quickly teach kids perseverance, going from never having held a bow before, to, "I did it!" I'll be getting about a dozen more of these! It was also fine for my 5 year old grandson.A related performance evaluation would be to NOT use fiberglass arrows with their typical stiffer fletches (wings/feathers), but get a similarly priced poplar arrow with synthetic feather fletches. The stiffer fletches cause the arrow to bounce off the bow as it passes the hand grip and take on a nose-dive looking flight that doesn't level out until well past the distance of a kid sized range. That flight pattern means the mass of the arrow is not behind the head, so it will do a lot of bouncing off the target. Some of those fiberglass arrows also have a head that fits over the shaft so it's wider than the shaft and gets stuck in the target when pulling the arrow out. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good beginner bow. Needs better arrows. *by M***L on Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2018* The bow works pretty good. Plenty easy for my 4 year old, but still reasonably powerful. On the negative side, the arrows that come with it stink. I used some of the arrows from my own bow with it and it is much better. The small arrows that come with it are unbalanced and tend to fly all over when shot. This could be very frustrating for a new shooter so I would suggest looking for some better arrows. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ strong bow, works well for kids and adults, but not a toy; no instructions *by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2014* careful, this thing as oompf -- definitely only with adult supervision or very disciplined kids that make sure noone is in the line of fire. My first shot (you guessed it - I really bought this for myself and not for my kids ;)) went 40 feet down the yard and stuck with an audible 'drrrrrrrrr' in our chicken coop.Despite my warnings my younger son (5) used it without the inner-arm wrist guard it came with and got a nice stingy slap of the bow string, so be careful to wear long sleeves or the guard. Also, the bow does not come with any sort of instructions, make sure you know which hand to let go ;)The arrows have one "feather" that has a different color; like all of bows and arrows, the different-colored feather (white in our case), also called 'index feather', should point to the outside of the shelf of the bow, away from limb: the arrow will swish along the arrow rest guided by the bow limb, and if there is a feather pointing toward the limb or the shelf then either the feather get ripped out pretty quickly or the arrow will not shoot straight.We are really enjoying this bow, as it is fun enough for me to use, and not too stiff so that the kids can use it, too. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nl/products/16385289-bear-archery-1st-shot-bow-set](https://www.desertcart.nl/products/16385289-bear-archery-1st-shot-bow-set) --- *Product available on Desertcart Netherlands* *Store origin: NL* *Last updated: 2026-06-26*
