My son has enjoyed this boy. Good quality, not really anything I’d change.

It seems to be a nice bow but first time out arrow rest slid off and we were unable to find it. Seems like if you pay $230 for something you wouldn't have a problem on the first day. It was a Christmas present so now we are back to square one looking for a part to fit it.

We love this bow set. It’s our second home NR as the previous was stolen. The arrows are very long & we needed to shorten them to my son’s size. Overall great value for a great bow!

This bow is just what I needed for my boys. It is well built and should last them years great buy if you are looking for something that is not a toy and don’t have to worry about draw length.

Mini Genesis! Good fit for my seven-year-old who wants to try archery (because his big brother is into it), but doesn't have any draw strength yet. Well set up right out of the box, took it down to eight (eight!) pounds draw for the little one. Just as well made as the other Genesis and Gen-X bows.

I bought this bow for my son's 3rd birthday. The reason I went with this bow is because the draw weight goes so low, all the way down to 6lbs. It's the lowest I was able to find without having to buy a toy.Also with there not being a set draw length it works great for him to shoot, then I can pick it up and show him something, hand it right back to him without having to make any adjustments. The draw length is still short for me at the max of 25 inches but it's enough that I can show him what I need to.The quality of this bow is great. It's made by Mathews who make amazing bows. And the customization is great, being able to buy different colour riser, limbs (you can even buy one with each limb a different colour), cam, wheel, cable, string, grip, and limb cups.It also comes with an arrow rest, an arm guard, quiver, and 5 aluminum arrows. The aluminum arrows are quite pointy but I've found it's required with the low draw weight of the bow. It has drilled and tapped holes for a sight and to upgrade from the factory arrow rest.My son absolutely loves this bow and so do I. I most definitely will be buying another one when my daughter is a little older.

Sweet little bow, bought it for my boy just before his 5th birthday. Just don't dial it back the 7 turns it says you can, because the string can come off. Went to 6.25 turns and seems to work great, he's pounding the target from 20'.

Had a little trouble deciding between the Classic and the Mini for a 9yo girl. I now have both, but the Mini was perfect for the 9yo and the classic may have been a little big for a starter. Draw length span is amazing, I'd say it would fit kids up to about age 13. The draw weight comes set at max, so I suggest giving the limb screws a turn or two counter clockwise before getting started. It's all about making it fun. The size and weight of the bow make it easy for kids to handle. The temporary nock point will loosen and slide up the serving after a few outings so be sure to get a more permanent one installed. I had a local shop put on brass nock points.
