Can you twist it up just a bit? 4" might keep them from stinging the back of their thumb etc. Kids love to shoot their bows but really dont like getting stung. 4" might give a little margin for error....but if the bow keeps that string real taught at 3" leave it as it is, will be easier to brace...if youre going to teach them that too. Hey they are going to have fun....

I would go with at least 4 or 4 1/2 so it don't slap there arm. Just twist up the one you have. :)
