Yes, it is certainly ideal for youngsters and smaller people; however, unless you are a very big and tall person, and simply using it for target arrows, this quiver will do just fine, especially for the price. The shoulder strap is adjustable and can be tight enough for kids and small adults, but can be loosened enough for for average sized adults. I read a couple of previous comments essentially saying the same thing I am saying about it being suitable for adults. At under $10, I took a chance, relied on those reviews and bought it. I figured if nothing else, I could just use it to store some extra target arrows that I have. I am a very experienced archer and bowhunter, mostly using compound bows with mounted quivers, but I also have a BEAR Titan 30# recurve, and thought this quiver could be suitable to use with it. I am by no means a big man, but I am not a little guy, either. I'm 5' 9" and weight 175 lbs. This quiver easily fits me. Also, I shoot 30 inch arrows and they fit nicely with 18 inches in the quiver and 12 inches above the top of the quiver. For a budget quiver it's nice quality. I would not recommend using broadheads; however, if you padded/reinforced the bottom and lower interior you could probably carry 3-4 arrows with broadheads if you wanted to, but it would be awkward for big game hunting. It can hold at least 12-15 target arrows. The headline is to get your attention so you don't just see the word YOUTH and keep scrolling, because the average adult can use this quiver as well. Obviously, you can find much better quivers, but if you are new to archery and/or looking for a budget quiver, this isn't a bad choice for the money. Also, it is sturdy/durable enough for kids. It's cheap but well made. I hope this review is helpful.
