Youth bow help
« on: August 09, 2009, 12:12:00 PM »
I have a 13 year old son ,small for his age and has shot the usual small kids bows. He has passed his Hunters Safety and I would like to get him a youth Longbow. I not real sure of the poundage to get him,as I don't want to over bow him or under bow him either. Any suggestions--Thank you --1Longbow

I have a Jerry Hill Exotica longbow. 30# @ 26" I can send you pics if you're interested
Always strive to do the right thing. Don't beat yourself down when you mess up. Ask for forgivness and keep on keeping on.

My son is 10 and I just bought him a 52" kodiak mag 40# at 28"! he was shooting a kids bow that he just outgrew, he 's only pulling about 18" so he can pull it just fine. I only give 150$ for it and it is in excellant shape! maybe that is a route you can go and get a nice old bow that will grow with him!! just my 2 cents, Jason

Have his draw length measured.See what he can draw and hold 30 sec at full draw then drop 10 lbs and he will have something he will enjoy.

 A takedown so that you can add heavier limbs later without too much expense wouldn't be a bad idea.

Before spending very much make sure he is going to stick with it.
