![]() I had planned on using wire for the bowstring, but keeping it straight and tight was an issue. ![]() I advise adding the quiver and it's strap BEFORE adding the bow and bowstring. The strap for the quiver is made from fine solder, flattened, and Blackened using Jax metal burnishing fluid (a stained glass/craft product). The instruction sheet shows how to detail these parts as I did. The archer's quiver has wire to hold the individual arrows in place. The banner is cut from the instruction sheet and mounted with fine wire. It isn't as if writing neat words in English would be a lot easier in this size, and going over the folds in the fabric. But, mostly, they are just blocks of chicken scratch. In some cases I tried (vaguely) to follow the characters as depicted on the box art. Painting with a brush was not going to be practical, so I used am extra fine point, Black, Sharpie pen. Decals would have solved this problem, but I looked into other methods. I noted that the photos on the instruction sheet show the figures finished without these. The characters on the figures sleeves pose a problem. You have color trim, detail parts like weapons, and some accessory parts that you have to add last, like the arror quiver and its cordage. ![]() There are a lot of small details to take care of on Samurai models.

I'll be up in their neck of the woods and will probably hear how he progressed in the last year.Īnother good option with insane value, but the Tatar is available in 25# and this starts at 30#. I think he picked it because it pulls smooth, is light weight and has a slender grip and looks much "sexier" than these bland TD Recurves. He was a happy little camper that night ) I put both of these bows together for him to try and pull them and he picked the AF Tatar bow. I offered him either a 54" take down like the Galaxy or an AF Archery Tatar Bow Recurve Bow Horsebow 53" Archery. I was at a DU banquet and there was a deserving 10 year old. I always have around 8-10 kids bows in the house to give away or outfit interested kids. Not the 54", this is something for 12 years old hand and weight wise. I had the 48" SWA Tiger bow and imho it is the best of these options you presented. Same for the Galaxy, pretty much the same bow with a different print. SAS, too large of a grip for his hand most likely. Physically too heavy is also not advisable. ![]() Too long and they become a drag to carry and too fat a grip makes them feel like they hold a 2x4. Bows need to fit the height and the hand of children foremost for them to have fun.
