What age

At what age would y'all think would be a good age to try to get a youngster into archery? And what equipment would you suggest? I am asking cause I have a nephew that likes to watch hunting but noone in his family hunts. I think archery would be a great start for him, but when do you start? How much do you spend on equipment that he will out grow? Any thoughts appreciated

If might be an idea to spend a hundred dollars and get a youth compound used with all the accesories. Shoot with him a lot so he knows what to do and stays in good form and make it fun for him. Maybe stick an apple on old uncles head from time to time and make things challenging for him. [;)]

I read that, thought who the neighbors were, and laughed. their closest neighbor is ENOS s parents. But even so they live not to far from me in the country (I couldn't live in town)so the closest neighbor is 1/4 mile give or take. I'm sure he wouldn't shoot unless I was there. I'm sure his mom wouldn't let him shoot unsupervised. He is nine right now. I just talked to his step dad and he thought it would be a great idea and said he (nephew) would love it and stp dad even thanked me for thinking of it. He actually sounded excited which is strange not much excites him. I don't know anything about youth bows, guess I will have to start the research now. Thanks!!

bang, sounds like old step dad could be a future bow hunter also. I believe my brother has one or two youth compound bows from his boys. If you want I will check and see if he'd get rid of them cheap, maybe send you some digitals of them to check out. I'm only offering because 1. I know my brother wouldn't of bought used (like me) 2. he normally buys good name brand stuff 3. his kids are all to big for them now 4. he sells stuff cheap that he knows he can't use. [:D]
I have a Ruger red label, Winchester model 70 and a Ruger P89 in my safe that my brothers ex wife bought for him, he didn't like them once they decided to get a divorce. I have told him countless times they still belong to him, but it's been quit a few years and he still won't take em back. (stubborness must run in the family [^])
