The Lil Banshee Bow Review

Getting kids into archery is a lot of fun and most adults learn a thing or two.  This is a great beginner bow for young kids and will let them get started having fun right away.  All you need to do is put things together and off you go.

To be clear, I’m talking about the Barnett Lil Banshee Jr. Compound Bow.  This is a fun little bow that is well made and good for young children.

So getting down to business.  You want to get a good little bow for your child.  At $28-30, you end up with a small compound that is very durable and probably the best choice for someone looking to get started.  As a compound, it helps make the bow easier to pull back and you have an adjustable draw length so it works well for different size children.

I believe that children aged 7-12 should be able to use this bow, but that depends on the child.  You can take the handle and flip it upside down to make it work for the left hand.  For the price, you really can’t get a better bow for starting your kid in archery and it’s better than spending a couple hundred bucks before finding out if they really like archery and want to keep doing it.

Tips to make things way better

Buy extra arrows when you get this.  It’s the number one thing everyone ends up getting.  You might as well save yourself some time and get them from the beginning.  The Barnett Outdoors Junior Arrows (3 Pack) are a good choice for this bow.

Try my printable targets to keep your kids excited and having more fun.  You’ll make them want to go outside instead of playing on a cell phone.  They can go hunting, do target practice, or go zombie hunting.

This Lil Banshee bow review is 100% my own opinion.
