Competition Ready
Have everything you need from nocks, string wax, fletchings, to keep your childs bow & mind in top condition. Archery is more physical & mental than people realize. Holding a bow with 20 pounds of pressure straight, breathing, stance, staying calm, focusing, it all plays a part. Unfortunately sometimes in competition a nock or fletching might fall off. You'll need & want to have a repair kit nearby to quickly fix & continue competing.
An archer should always have extra nocks nearby during competition
