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
Or you can contact Mike at Maddog Traditional Archery. He would be glad to hook you up, and he is a sponsor here.
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.
Kodiakkid,
