A nice starter bow,
By Karyn (The Woodlands, TX USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Crosman Elkhorn Jr. Compound Bow (Sports)
I purchased this unit for my 12 year old daughter on the advice of an archery buff friend. After a little internet research and tinkering (the instructions are not very good), she has been shooting-up a storm with it. She had little problem with the 21 pound draw weight and the compound mechanism really helped her hold her shots steady. As shipped, the unit is fairly complete but you'll probably want to add a nock, and some thread to wrap around the string to fatten it up so that it will more securely position an arrow for firing. Please note that the bow came with an "all weather" string that makes the addition of standard sighting aids (like a rear "peep" aperature) a bit problematic. That said, this is a bow that is actually capable of decent accuracy and is well suited for smaller/weaker frames. The bow is sufficiently accurate that she has rapidly progressed to shooting very well and now wants to get fitted for a more expensive rig.

Almost Perfect Starter Bow,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Crosman Elkhorn Jr. Compound Bow (Sports)
This bow is a nice youth starter bow, and priced attractively for its quality. I have a 13 year old son, just about 5 feet tall, and this bow was perfect for him in draw weight and length. It was easy to assemble (it is close to "ready-to-shoot" right out of the box), and the directions were clear. The arrows, while low end, have taken hours of punishment pretty well, with the fletchings still intact. The arrow rest (self-adhesive plastic) was the only disappointment, as it broke after a half hour or so of use (those are easily replaced, and not a deal breaker for us). Independent of the arrow rest, the construction is solid, and this bow performed well throughout extensive days of shooting. The accuracy is sufficient for a bow in this price range, and precise enough to allow for subsequent shot correction. I anticipate my son will outgrow this bow in a year or two, but with little-to-no maintenance, I foresee many hours of trouble-free target practice over those years. Should something untoward happen to this bow, we would definitely replace it with the same bow. Nice value. Thanks Crosman!
Note to Amazon: While Crosman does indeed make air pistols, the words "air pistol" are out of place in the title/description of this compound bow archery set.

Starters with a Bow - LOOK HERE!,
By Cherelle (NJ United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Crosman Elkhorn Jr. Compound Bow (Sports)
After earning his Jr. Hunting license with rifle and shotgun, my 12 year old decided he absolutely MUST complete his training and add a bow license to the other two. I am all for correct training in safety procedure, and when he asked for a bow for his 13th birthday I readily acquiesed.
This is the best possible "starter" bow for the money that we have seen or heard about. For less than $50 thru Amazon I couldn't be happier (especially since we spent all our spare cash paying for upcoming Boy Scout Camp and Coldwater Conservation School/Camp for our kids. It was, as others have stated, a little tricky to figure out where everything goes from the 2"x2" picture directions, but it didn't take a rocket scientist to eventually get it. (look at it like a puzzle and logic takes over - LOL!) When practicing be certain that you have either a windowless building behind your backstop (like a garage - as we did), or empty woods. Otherwise your neighbors and their pets could be in imminent peril. I can say that this handy bow has certainly enough power to pierce, siding, insulation and underlying clapboard, along with toy truck tires and plastic garbage cans. It is apparently easy to be accurate with, but too powerful for our first efforts at constructing a target/backboard ;p All in all I can't say anything negative about the bow itself. The arrows are cheap garbage and you will have to get more fairly quickly, though. The "accessories" are also cheap, but will at least serve to get you started on the way. The only thing lacking to be the perfect starter get-up is a cheap attempt at a protective carry case.
