Bear Crusader Longbow Complete Set

the legendary Fred Bear started Bear Archery more than eighty years ago, and since then more archery enthusiasts have got started in the sport with Bear archery Equipment than from any other manufacturer. Bear if famous for its innovative designs of archery equipment that are built to specifically fill the requirements of youth and intermediate archers. With quality equipment, young shooters have the opportunity to develop into lifelong advocates of archery.

The Bear Crusader Starter Set is an example of a great little bow and an excellent way to get a youngster who is interested in archery started with quality equipment. The fifty-one-inch solid fibreglass bow is a tough as it gets and with a draw weight of approximately 15 pounds and 26 inches of draw, it is a serious bow capable of excellent accuracy.

NZAP sell The Crusader kit as packaged by Bear Archery. This includes the fifty-six-inch, 15 to 18 pound Crusader longbow, a rudimentary quiver, armguard, and finger tab, plus a bullseye target. This kit is not a toy, but almost. It is great fun for children to shoot, but it isn't suitable for any young person interested in serious accuracy. The only reason that we don't classify it as a toy is that it shoots metal-tipped arrows that cold break a window or cause a painful bruise if used improperly. Adult supervision of its use with young children is definitely recommended.

The Bear Crusader Longbow Starter Set makes a perfect gift item for anyone from about age 8 or 9 up to about 13. The Crusader Longbow can be used by left or right-handed shooters without adjustment.
