    No

    no way, he’ll shoot his eye out

    Check on the package and see if what age range it says they can use it.

  4. PeaceGuGuGaGa says:

    Yes, it looks age appropriate, and I am sure that your kid would love it. I have a friend of mine, I am positive his son owns this one. I called him and asked him what he thought, turns out his son is 11. So, I think this would be a wise purchase.

    if you think he is responsible enough

  6. Jesse says:

    yes you should

    by the time i was 12 i had well over half a dozen guns that i had worked and saved up for. I’m sure he can handle a bow

    I would say if he takes safety class and uses only target arrows(blunt) and uses it under supervision and a safe area and background.

    This is much better than by cheap bow I got at 12 with 20lb draw.

    He may out grow this in a couple of years and want a real hunter setup. So you can go cheaper to see if he likes it and get him a better one when he is 14-15 or what ever you can spend.

  8. Libertarian and proud of it says:

    As long as he can be responsible with it. If he knows how to properly use one, then it’s okay. If he doesn’t know what he’s doing, and therefore might hurt himself, it’s not a good idea.

    Also make sure that he can pull the bow back and hold it correctly. It’s best to check it out at the store.

    It sounds like that bow offers a wide range of adjustment, however, at 12, you son is probably ready for more draw weight than the low end of the scale for that bow, and 45 pounds is lower than many of the other bows there for high end, so I would recommend one of the other bows with a higher range of draw weight, with a upper end of 50 pounds or more.

    Also, on that website, if you look just above the login and signup links, there is a link for switching currency, which if you follow it, will let you change all the prices into Canadian dollars instead of US dollars. the NAS package adds roughly 65 Canadian dollars.

    If you think hes ready for it, and he can draw it, pour it on it

  11. Arkel D says:

    If he is responsible and knows what to shoot with it.
