My 8 year old grandson participated in the 4-H archery program last school year. He was only able to go to one tournament before Covid shut things down, but this is what they recommend for him.

I borrowed a bow from my niece that he used last year, but if he decides to participate again this year I'll buy him one of these. They are available a little cheaper on Amazon.

Some info and regulations about the bow regulations here. Because the bow we borrowed was set up with sights and a release he was not able to compete at the Novice level. We didn't find out about that until 2 weeks prior to the tournament and didn't want to change anything at that late date.

Most people don't really want the truth.

They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.
