What's a good beginner set up for our 9 year old grandson.

Diamond Prism is a really nice starter bow, will 100% be able to hunt with it when the time comes.

Prism - Diamond Archery

The Diamond Archery Prism is the perfect fully equipped beginner target bow. The easy to adjust draw weight and length grow with the archer.

Genesis is great , especially if you may have multiple shooters. Keep in mind it won't have a backwards to pull into, so teaching anchor point is critical.

Those very adjustable kid bows are also great, at first. Eventually you get to when they are VERY VERY short on axle to axle

so teaching anchor point is critical.

Yes, what is really beneficial is that correct and successful archery technique is required with that bow ... technique that then forms a basis for success and proficiency with whatever bow is then later used.

Buy once, cry once, and let the shaming begin.

Won't mention specific brand, but do one of the highly adjustable ones. It'll grow with him and keep him using it until he's ready to buy a better one!

My grandpa bought me my first bow. He gave me a recurve i used from probably 6-9 years old, then bought me a compound. It's one of those things that I didn't forget and used that bow to kill my first deer at 11!

This is what I'm looking at too. Oldest boy is gonna get a bow this spring.

Not sure how old your kids are but I have a Genesis Mini just sitting around that my 12 year old daughter out grew a few years ago. I wouldn’t want much for it.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the feedback. Spoke with our SIL today and we concluded the Genesis is the right choice for Jack's current purposing. Have one on the way...
