to determine eye dominence: put your hands over each other palms outstretched at eye level, so the 4- fingers cover each other on top and the thumbs cover each other below,forming an open area in the shape of a triangle app 1 1/2" x 1 1/2". now with this done and arms outstretched at eye level look thru the triangle and look at a particular object up on a wall app 20' away, now while keeping that object in view the entire time slowly bring the hands back to your face. they will naturaly go to one eye or the other, don't overthink it, just do it, that will be your dominant eye. if you bring it to the other eye you will no longer be able to see the selected object.now for some people eye dominence doesn't match up with their hand dominence. for example my father was right handed and left eye dominant, that can be a bit of a problem, either learn to shoot left handed, or what he did was hold the gun right handed and aimed with his left eye.
Thanks for all the advice. I am going to get her a cheaper one first to see if that is something she really wants to do and see the right/ left hand thing before investing in a nicer one. But once we get it, I will still have questions. I know nothing about archery but want to learn.
Thanks again
Look for a child bow on e-bay or craigslist you find some nice deals as kids out grow these time bows fast good luck
my daughter turns 7 in october and she will be getting the diamond nuclear ice with pink limbs she was wanting one last year but after a whole day at Disney it wasnt in the budget
Word of advice, if you can keep her shooting right handed the do it. It is much easier to find RH bows and guns then lefties. I was left handed when I was little and my parents forced me to shoot, throw, bat, and write right handed and I am glad they did. My best friend is a leftie and it took him 6 months to sell a rifle that should have sold in a week because it is a leftie. Check out Mathews, they make a bow called Genesis. I beleive it is fully adjustable and when they step up to something else you can use it for a bowfishing bow. It has no let off, so there is no set draw length. Check out ArcheryTalk.com - classifieds - bow for sale - womens and kids bows. They have some great deals on there, most of the bows are already set up.
matthews also makes the mission bows, same adjustable draw lengths and poundage and at very good prices for something that can last you so long.
