What Bow set up for a 10 year old?
 
So a couple weeks back I took my 10 year old grand daughter out to shoot a bow for the very first time. It was a hit! She loved it and would like to go again. Now my question is that at $35 to $40 bucks each time we go in order to rent a bow for her it adds up pretty fast. I might as well buy her very own set up. What would you recommend I start her out with? I don't want to spend big bucks cause you know how kids are, after a bit they can loose interest and move on to something else. If she sticks with it, then I do not mind investing in good equipment. She has no desire to hunt so this would be strictly target.
Thanks.

Take her to a shop and see what's "her size". If she's big enough, a Diamond Infinite Edge will be a good place to start looking. And decently quick resale if she changes her mind.

My 10 year old girl shoots a Diamond Atomic. Great little bow. Infinite Edge would be the next size up and a great option.

I bought my granddaughters a Diamond Nuclear and they love it. Great bow. It is no longer made but it has been replaced by a new model, Diamond Atomic. Do a search on YouTube for them and see them in action.

I bought my boy a Hoyt Ignite three years ago. Not the least expensive option but an excellent fit for growing shooters. Draw length can be adjusted from 19 to 30 inches and draw weight can be adjusted from 15 to 70 pounds. Set it up on the light side when a smaller child is getting into the sport. As the child grows you can dial it up and eventually have a decent hunting rig.

Bought my daughter a bowtech fuel a couple years back. It’s very adjustable for draw length and weight. And the overall size and weight of the bow is not that bad. Might be a bit heavy, depending on how big your 10 yr old is, my daughter was pretty big already at that age.

My sister in law settled on the ignite after looking at a few of the other models (craze, infinite edge, etc) of the super adjustable bows and she has been very happy with it. That was a few years ago, so there may be better options available now - but you should check them out with the kid in tow.

My 7 year old daughter had an APA sidewinder and loves it. The biggest perk is that they grow right to 28" and 60 lbs
