Bows and arrows were for my 11-year-old daughter, who hereby already had experience. Sorry, there was the arrow 1 after 3 times shooting at a straw target broken, after 3 days tore the tendon. After returning we were told that we were obviously handled improperly mt bow and arrow (actually was exclusively shot at the straw target) and although we were 1 new arrow, but no new tendon sent. Instead, lay in the package the old broken tendon plus another half !!! Tendon. Conclusion: once and never again!
