[QUOTE="longrangepistol, post: 1774896, member: 4182"] I would find out what eye dominance your children are. Have them hold out both their right and left arms in front of them and form a circle/hole with their adjoining hands. Focus on an object 30 feet away and have them close one eye at a time. Whichever eye is focused on the object in question will be their dominant eye. This is irrespective of whether they are right handed or left handed. My oldest is right handed but left eye dominant, she shoots a left handed Mathews Mission Menace, well. She won the NFAA Indoor Southern Sectional in March of this year with the bow she got for her birthday in December. Every student I've taught who's fought the battle to stay with the hand vs. eye dominance has struggled. Go with the dominant eye every time if you want to be successful and competitive. I found my daughter's Mathews Mission Menace on Craigslist in November of last year. Purchased the bow, drop away rest, fiber optic sight, release and arrows for $200.00 (bow and accessories were purchased in Sept. 2011 for $512.00 per seller's receipt). Watch Craigslist and archerytalk.com for deals especially now after the hunting season. The one caveat I tell all students is don't overbow yourself. Don't get a bow that draws too much or you risk bad habits in form. And remember always tell your child this about having FUN, even when you're at a National Tournament like NFAA Indoor Nationals in Louisville, Kentucky. [/QUOTE]
