Great New Youth Bow!

About 6 months ago my son started showing real interest in shooting a bow. He found my first bow an old fiberglass Bear and asked if he could shoot it. I said well I don't know so we gave it a try. He put half a dozen arrows in a box at 10 feet and thought that was pretty cool. He continued to ask often enough to shoot it I thought I better look into the best choice on the market so he could really have some fun shooting an not get discouraged by inadequate equipment. After a little research I found a new bow coming out from Diamond called the Nuclear Ice and all the guys at the archery Trade Show thought it was just what the market needed for very young shooters. With a short axle to axle and a mass weight that small shooter can handle it looked like a great option to get started. I called Boyd at Buck Hallow and reserved one of the first ones he could get his hands on. It fits his frame well and he loves it. Boyd has a few in stock with more on the way. They come in pink digital camo for the girls as well. Time well tell if his path stays on a course with the outdoors close to his heart. One thing is for certain we are having a blast finding out.

Boyd, Had a few in stock RH, LH an d a pink RH make sure you call before heading that way. These bows are flying off the shelves filling a market void.

As you can see from the list below the Nuclear Ice with the short axle to axle and low mass weight it is a clear stand out for an early youth option in a serious bow. It comes with a 3 pin sight, 3 arrows, a 3 arrow quiver, and a nice rest ( like a whisker biscuit with an open notch in the top).

Pretty cool and a sweet bow for sure. Is he going to remain a finger shooter or are you going to get him a release? The bow looks a little too long in the draw yet. Did Boyd think so too?

Man that is great. My son is just turning 9 and also wants to get started. How old is your son?
 
He turned 5 at the end of December. Yes he will get a release if he wants whatever feels right to him. Any suggestions. Length was a little long in the picts. he was going crazy to get shooting so we let him have at it. I realized I had posted the preproduction specs for this bow when I made the post. I updated them a minute ago. Draw weight now competes with the rest of them.
 
I have always been a TruBall release fan and my young sons had a couple that were real short and had small buckles to fit a tiny wrist. I am sure that there are many other companies that have smaller youth size releases as well. Boyd would know. Good luck, hopefully he likes it and continues to get addicted to this very addictive sport called archery and bow hunting.

My son has a Tru Ball Patriot Youth Release. Good release and fits his small wrist and short hand very well.
Does this bow have a traditional bow string or a cable type? I have a bear youth bow, a Brave I think, a mini compound bow, and it has a cable type string which cannot have a peep installed.
 
I was at the Davenport Gander Mountain this past weekend and a chance to look this bow over and even shoot a couple of arrows through it myself, what an awesome bow. i think there may be one under the tree for my son this christmas.
 
My Godson just turned one a couple weeks ago, and I really wanted to get him his first bow. I know, it's a bit early yet so I got him a lifetime hunting permit instead. Can't wait to get him that first bow though! At the rate they're improving these starter bows, there's no telling what will be out there when he's finally ready.
