I have a family of five and am getting some beginner bows for everybody for Christmas. I need advice primarily on arrows, and also on any other thing I should be looking out for to start. I have measured the arm span of each family member under a pretense to get the approximate draw length for everybody via the armspan/2.5 method. I understand you will need a lot more information than I have at this time to really help us fine tune, but for now I just want to get a ballpark so we can shoot on Christmas and then begin a more rigorous fine-tuning process from that point. I have chosen beginner bows (Snake Recurve) and am trying to go to the fairly low suggested draw weights which I see in some places online for beginners so we can all start out working on technique and not be "overbowed" while doing it.

Here are the particulars:

Child 1 – turns 7 next month. Estimated draw length is 19.1". Receiving a 48" Snake recurve (15#).

Child 2 – 9 – Estimated draw length is 22.7". Receiving a 60" Snake recurve (18#).

Child 2 – turns 12 in two months. Estimated draw length is 23.3". Receiving a 60" Snake recurve (18#)

Adult woman – Estimated draw length 26.7". Receiving a 60" Snake recurve (#22)

Adult man – Estimated draw length 29.8. Receiving a 60" Snake recurve (#26).

My main question is what arrows I should order? I understand I should get fletched and not vaned arrows to shoot with this bow. Beyond that I don’t know much except that the low draw weights on the bows may make arrow selection a bit challenging, particularly for me (adult male), who has an estimated draw around 30". I know it is not possible to be perfect with such limited information, but if I can get some decent arrows in the right ballpark to have fun with on Christmas day then I can fine tune from there.

Also, if there is anything else I should know or should consider doing or getting I would be appreciative of any advice.

Thank you very much for your help.

here are my 2 destroyers . a few yrs old , but the only bows I need . cant see any reason to let them go .

Before I send it out to be cerakoted or re-anodized some other color, I’m interested in seeing what others have paired theirs with in terms of colors of string/cables and accessories.

I’m thinking about either using a complete mishmash of random colors based on the accessories I have sitting around, or throw subtly to the wind and go with florescent green strings/cables, dampeners and stabilizers end caps.

I look forward to seeing other people’s concoctions.

Thanks.
