Beginner archery set?

[supton]

Daughter would like a beginners setup, I guess she would to try one out. I know nadda about bows. Is this any good? Not looking to spend much, she is a teen and of short stature, and something for left or right handed would be required. Not sure if I should spend more or less.

Not a bad idea—I don’t do facebook but I do see some pricey stuff on CL. Look like hunting bows?

An example of a short girl using this bow:

I'd get a recurve bow however.

Bear Archery makes decent entry level bows. Still Made in USA as far I know.

Go to an archery shop. They will measure her. They can show you anything you want, including bows that will grow with her. And they will service what they sell, setting it up properly for her now and tuning it for her as she grows.

Honestly save yourself alot of frustration. You might save $30 at walmart on a crappy bow, but its just not worth it.

Also the local archery clubs usually have some bows for beginners or kids to use. They can provide good instruction as well.
