Highlights

Light enough that they can actually shoot it

The commonest reason a child gives up on archery is a bow they cannot hold out and cannot draw. Start them on something they can manage and they hit the target; hit the target and they come back tomorrow. Everything else follows from that.

Moulded plastic

Light, tough and cheap enough that dropping it in the garden is not a disaster.

Complete set

Bow and arrows together, so there is nothing to work out before the first shot.

Bright tricolour finish

Easy for a child to identify as theirs, and easy to find when it is put down in the grass.

Built for small hands

Sized and weighted for young children rather than scaled down from an adult bow.

Product description

About this product

Bow for Archery Training – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Tanzania.

The M115 is a children-s bow and arrow set: a moulded plastic bow in a bright tricolour finish, supplied with arrows, for young children taking their first shots.

The design brief for a child-s first bow is narrow and it is not about performance. It has to be light enough to hold out at arm-s length while aiming, soft enough to draw without straining, and forgiving enough that a shot lands somewhere near where they pointed it. A child who hits the target keeps shooting. A child handed something too heavy puts it down after four arrows and does not ask again.

Plastic rather than wood or aluminium is the right choice at this level. It weighs almost nothing, it survives being dropped and left outside, and it costs little enough that a set for three children is not a serious decision.

Set it up properly and it teaches real habits. A shooting line drawn on the ground, one shooter at a time, everyone behind the line, and a rule that nobody collects arrows until every bow is on the ground – these are the same rules used at every archery club in the world and they are worth teaching from the first session.

It suits a garden, a lodge or camp activity, a school sports day or a birthday. When a child outgrows it, the next step is a light recreational recurve rather than anything adult-sized.

Questions

Good to know

What age is it for?

Young children - roughly from five or six upwards, depending on the child. It is a first bow, not a training bow for a serious young archer. Once a child is consistently hitting a target with it, they are ready for a light recreational recurve.

Is it safe?

With supervision, yes - and never without. Even a toy bow puts an arrow out with enough force to injure an eye. Use the arrows supplied, never anything sharpened, and never let a child point it at a person or an animal.

How should a child be supervised?

A bow is not a toy, even a children-s one. Set a shooting line and keep everyone behind it, one shooter at a time, a solid backstop behind the target, and never let anyone walk forward to collect arrows until every bow is down.

Can it be used indoors?

Only in a long room with a proper backstop and nothing breakable in the line of fire, and even then we would rather you did not. A garden with a foam target against a wall or a hedge is the right place.

What target should I use with it?

A foam archery target or a cardboard box packed tightly with old cloth. Do not shoot at a wall, a tree or anything hard - arrows bounce back, and a bouncing arrow is genuinely dangerous.

What happens when a child outgrows it?

The next step is a light recreational recurve with proper fibreglass arrows, not an adult bow scaled down. Jumping straight to a heavy bow is how children develop bad form and lose interest.

Can I buy spare arrows for it?

The arrows supplied with the set are specific to it. Tell us what you need and we will say what is in stock - we also stock fibreglass practice arrows for the next bow up.

Do you deliver in Dar es Salaam?

Yes. We deliver across Dar es Salaam and ship nationwide to Arusha, Mwanza, Dodoma, Zanzibar and beyond. You can also collect from our shop.
