First and foremost, remember that the reviews you're reading might be from people with high expectations for a bow that really isn't designed for group accuracy. It's designed to teach kids how to handle and shoot a recurve. If you want dead nuts accuracy, that ain't the bow for the job. Spending some time with grandpa will be the fun. Don't stress accuracy, stress form. With form comes accuracy. And I can tell you from experience, don't have him target shooting with an experienced shooter. I know my son got frustrated because I was hitting my target while he was struggling and wanting to shoot like dad.

Do a search for proper recurve form. That'll help you with helping him learn to enjoy shooting. Keep the distance to the target short and let him build confidence.
