My 7 year old took some archery lessons. They put them on recurves to teach them the basics. He really enjoyed it. I started looking at the bows for him, but I wanted to get him a compound. They are just easier to shoot for a lot of reasons and I knew that he would want one like mine anyway. I decided on the PSE mini burner. I got him the right handed version with a 40 lb max(dialed it down to about 22 currently but it will go lower). I had to order it on amazon because the bow shops didn't have it. He has been shooting it for about 3 weeks and loves it. It is super easy to adjust for length of pull and to adjust the poundage. We got that pretty close and took it to a bow shop. They tied in a peep, added the D-Loop, got him a little release and sighted it in at 5, 10 and 15 yards. He has been shooting almost every night in our basement at 5-10 yards just working on the basics. We are going to hit a total archery challenge this summer so he is pretty motivated to get better and stronger so that he can shoot from further. He can hold over at 20 yards and be pretty close, but we haven't pushed it beyond that yet. I think it will last him about 3 or 4 years until we can pass it down to his brother who is 3 and get him the next step up. If she likes pink, PSE has a pink one. The one that we got was a camo version and it looks pretty good.
