My little girl is 2 1/2 and all she can talk about is getting a bow for her birthday so I've been thinking about this alot too. I think if they're really young like her, a traditional bow is best. Much simpler to get the hang of and I think it's good for them to learn the basics with a trad bow. I wanna get her a good one so she can really learn and hopefully develop a love for the sport. So I'm thinking of going with the little black rhino. I'm glad to hear of some good experiences with them.
