Two safety tips: At the right angle, this bow can send arrows out 100 yards. The attached cable guide (rod) goes BETWEEN the balance cables and shooting string to keep the balance cables out of the way of the arrows as they are released.
Several things to keep in mind: there is no adjustment on this bow. Draw weight of our bow is 19 lbs. I assume that when the specs say 17-21 lbs, it means that the bow you get will be within these limits. Draw length is also set, I think accurately stated at a max of 26 inches. With a draw of 24-26", a person 5' to 5'6" should be able to shoot this comfortably. For your child to use this bow, s/he should be able to pull about 20 lbs, not just once, but many times. Of course, they don't have to hold 20 lbs while they are aiming because once past max pull, the pull weight of the string drops to about 7 lbs. It's not an age thing, it's a size and strength thing.
Much has already been said about the accessories. Can't comment on the included arrow rest. I had to shim the after-market arrow rest bracket because the bow riser is too narrow. The included arrows are low quality and cannot be used with our 3-point arrow rest because the fletching doesn't line up right, and the nocks are glued. No matter what rest you use, it's worthwhile to get extra arrows with a rotatable nock so you can line up the indicator fletching correctly for your rest. I recommend arrows (26") with points much sharper than the dull points on those that come with the bow; at 19 lbs bow draw weight, the included arrows mostly bounce off the target at more than 10 yards.
Comments have been made about the bow and balance strings. I could be wrong but they don't seem to be metal cable. But they are plastic coated something. An earlier review stated that you couldn't nock arrows safely or add nock points. I found both those statements to be incorrect; arrows nock and hold just fine, and adding nock points was easy (thanks YouTube).
Our bow has an integrated sight bracket, counter to videos about the bow. I don't like it because you can't add a multi-pin sight without it being too far out in front of the bow. Most kids will probably shoot intuitively anyway, and not use sight pins, but to shoot more accurately, some sort of work-around is necessary. The arm protector is cheap, but works. And the bow-mounted quiver works fine. We don't use the finger tab. Not all common accessories will fit on this bow.
Again, excellent value, even with its limitations, and it can be used as is, or upgraded for a little extra $$ to be pretty competitive/accurate.

Full video was too large of a file size so I cut it down to the last third of the recording.
**********
I originally bought it for my 12 year old sister as she had garnered interest thanks to Hunger Games. In order to teach her to shoot I needed to brush up on my skills as I hadn't shot since Boy Scouts (that was a recurve nontheless). Needless to say I'm in love with this bow!
I've added a number of upgrades to the bow:
- Allen Company String Nock Set (Crimp On Large Size), 5 Pack (simple and effective)
- Archery - RELEASE D LOOP MATERIAL 60" - 2MM - .080" DIAMETER - BCY #24 By Extreme Gear (save your fingers by using a thumb release and a D-loop (make a D-loop with this material); added benefit is it gives an extra 1/2 inch or so for the draw)
- Allen Company Thin Air Fall Away Arrow Rest, Right Hand (it's usable - I had to cut pieces off to make it work (fletchings were scraping it bad) - but I'd never put this thing on an adult bow) **Instead of a 'fall away' arrow rest this bow would best be served with a stationary rest: whether the very basic one it comes with or a precision one like a Whisker Biscuit.**
- Trophy Ridge Punisher 5 Sight (nothing beats a light-up 5 pin sight. Stand under a light if you don't want to use the batteries)
Accessories we use are:
- 12" Deluxe Archery Armguard (EA) (large size fits both my sister and I)
- Tru Ball T-Handle Thumb Release Standard Caliper Jaw (bought a cheap thumb release and hated it - inaccurate release and a chore to put on the string; this is more expensive than the bow but I'll be using this on a "real" bow when I get one)
Arrows:
-Easton Scout 2 Fiberglass Arrows 26" (found on another site for $2.49/arrow)
*There's an arrow sold on Amazon and in some stores with the brand name "Carbon Express". Do NOT buy those, they are junk, fall apart and are heavy. The Easton arrows referenced above are far superior and perfect weight for this bow... Except the bow string is too thick for the arrow nocks so you have to sand one side on the inside of the nock just a little at a time until it can snap easily onto the string.
**Speaking of string this bow does not use traditional bow string. It's some kind of coated wire(?). It works just fine but you can't use peep sights or other accessories that require actual string.
I've owned this bow for just under two months now, shot count is well over 1500 as I shoot this daily. I've not needed to fix or correct one thing on the bow itself.
