I see a lot of crap sets online. Looking for an archery set for kids 3-6 years old that isn't total plastic junk. Any recommendations?

I had the same problem earlier this month. I finally found a all fiberglass recurve like the ones we had as kids. Made by Indian archery in Indiana probably 50 years old and still as good as new. eBay 20$ with arrows. Put a search for fiberglass kids bows. Everything else was plastic Chinese garbage or a 300$ kids compound.

Southwest Archery has some decent youth starter bows that don't break the bank. I have one of their adult bows (Spyder XL) and I like it. Check out the Little Tiger and the Tiny Tiger, https://www.southwestarcheryusa.com/collections/all-bows

Well we're Green and we're Gold, and we play better when it's cold. All us Cheese heads have our favorite superstar. We love Brett Favre.

I had Mike MacCready at MadDog archery build my son a longbow for Christmas. We just came in from shooting it a minute ago.
Pretty cool deal. You get to pick your glass and riser wood and he glues it up and builds it to your specifications. $110. We got green glass with a maple and bubinga riser. #25 @ 26” 48”bow. Took about 3-4 weeks from order to shipping. Super nice guy to do business with.
I bought a couple of the cheap Mossy Oak 24” 500 carbons from Walmart and stripped the vanes off and refletched with feathers.
Pretty neat setup for not much money compared to what some of the junk youth bow setups are going for.

Hard to beat a Matthews Genesis Mini. Likely better suited for 7-10 year old, though.
