Do bow and longbow arrows work with crossbows and do crossbow bolts work with bows and longbows?
No and no. Specifically, arrows for bows are longer and more flexible as a slight flex can improve an arrow's flight, but crossbows would be too powerful and break the arrow. Crossbow bolts/quarrels are far too short to be used correctly in a bow, as a real archer would never partially draw the bow to shoot an arrow, yet a bolt would not be long enough for the archer to draw back to his or her anchor point (that same place on their face they always draw back to, to make shots powerful and consistent).

What draw weight in archery should an 8 year old start out with?
20lbs or less, otherwise the bow will be too strong for them to handle, at that age I would recommend 10-15 lbs.
What are some of the factors an archer must consider in there choice of bow?
An archer must take into consideration if the bow will used just to practice shooting or in hunting. if to be used in hunting then I recommend you look at a 3 string bow with pulleys. If just for practice then a single string will be fine.
What is the spine weight on an arrow?
The spine of an arrow is not expressed in "weight" - it is the bow's pulling power that is expressed as a weight figure. The arrows must suit this weight.Any bow takes a certain amount of force to draw back to the normal shooting position (usually with the string touching the chin and nose); this force is measured in x number of pounds - my own ash longbow is lighteweight at just 45 pounds draw weight.In order for the arrows to fly true, they must have a certain amount of flexibility ("spine") to match the draw weight of the bow - if they are too flexible they will shoot off to the right, if too stiff they will go left of the target. This is due to the so-called "archer's paradox" where the arrow first bends itself around the bow handle and then continues to fly straight.
How can you change the drawback pounnds on a bow so its easier to shoot?
Decrease draw weight. Back out both limb bolts a quarter turn at a time. Make certain to adjust both limbs equally to avoid changing the tiller and nock point position on the string. Also make certain to avoid backing the limb bolts out too far to avoid injury to the archer and damage to the bow.

Why does your arrow kick up or down?
The arrow "kicks" up and/or down because the nock end hits the arrow rest (or arrow shelf, if the bow does not have a separate arrow rest) as the arrow leaves the bow. This usually occurs because the nocking point (where you place the arrow on the bowstring) is too high or too low, but it can be caused by the fletching either being out of alignment or simply too large for the type of rest being used. This problem may also be that your fall away rest is not dropping properly.Other reasons may be too light-weight of a point on the arrow, or the nock-end of the arrow is "dragging" on something during the release (fingers, etc).Bows do not act like firearms (guns) when used: There is no recoil to "kick" the bow or arrow up or down, nor is there any energy being expended to push the bow back towards the archer. The only real transfer of energy in a properly tuned bow/arrow setup is from bow to the arrow, by way of the bowstring. If the bow moves enough to affect arrow flight, it is generally because the person using the bow has moved their hand and/or arm.

Can a kid use a compound bow?
Anyone with adequate training in the skill and safe usage of a bow can shoot with any bow that is right for them. Remember that the bow should be the right "draw weight" for them, draw weight is strength and a bow that is too powerful will make it unsafe to use in the person's hands, this applies to adults as well as children. If you get your child some training and provide them with a suitable compound bow, they will be perfectly capable and allowed to use one on a suitable archery range. (NOTE: I am a real archer and I am an expert on the subject) ...This is just my personal opinion and is simply worth consideration to you, but traditional archery is ideal for the sport of archery becasue you can appreciate the extra skill needed to use it and the feeling of connection to history can be well rewarding.
