Title: Youngun' hill style
Post by: timbermoose on October 15, 2014, 02:57:00 PM

So my 8yr old son, Gabriel, wants/needs a new bow. So thinking about building him a 58" hill style 25-30@25 what is a good stack and riser length for that?

He's adamant that he wants southern red cedar lams back/belly with a wanut riser. Currently shooting 22@22 oak bow with a bad hinge. Should I aim for a higher weight bow so as not to underbow him?

If,he can handle the 22 @22 then your probably pretty close.
Can't help with the stack.
