Amazon.com: Genesis Original Bow Kit: Sports & Outdoors.
I recently purchased this Bow for my daughter to get her into archery since she is showing some interest now. I looked at all the online stores and Amazon (with Prime Membership) had the best deal. With Prime Membership you get free 2 day delivery, which is great!
The bow came with:
Genesis Bow – this bow is very well made and the set up is easy but not fool proof. It requires you to use an allen wrench and turn counter clock wise, sounds easy huh? well it is counter clockwise with the you turning the bow end for end. So if you are looking at the bow from the front and you loosen the top limb, you can’t just move down and turn counter clockwise on the bottom limb.. you have to turn the bow over and turn CCW. It does make sense when you think about it but you have to guess that that is how it works
Hip Quiver – this is good enough and is color coordinated with the bow
Arm Guard – This is the only strange part to me. My daughter is 8 and there is no way that this will fit her for at least the next 3 or 4 years. I guess that this bow is aimed at 12yr olds and up so they made an arm guard for
the demographic.
Easton Arrows – Great quality but should have come with extra nocks (search google for Easton n type nocks
Review: So today is the first day we put this baby to the test and … IT IS FUN! I took my daughters out to shoot to practice form, and they shot a few ends but the competitive spirt took over and so they shot 2 ends of 4 arrows each. Scored out of 80 and they did excellent and had a bunch of fun, so much so that my wife and I took up the challenge to try and beat them. All the scores were close and it came down to the last couple of arrows. This is just a fun bow to shoot, it comes with great arrows and it is something that will last a while. Great purchase. Great value. 5 Stars.
Conclusion: If you need a bow for your kids or to get your wife to start shooting – get this one.

The First Lesson for my Girls, Riley 9 and Keeley 7. They are shooting at a target 15 feet away with a Martin kids bow. Things went well, we are using a modified version of the BEST Method and the kids seemed to get it right away. I should have gotten a picture of Riley’s shoulder blades and you can really see the biomechanics in practice. The goal is to get them to earn all the ASAP badges and medals before they get to High School.
