Put a recurve in the kid's hands. Draw length and draw weight both automatically increase as the kid grows. His arms get longer, he pulls further. He pulls further, he gets more draw weight. Get a takedown and you can order an extra set of limbs to really jump up the weight, if needed.

auther , thanks for the sugestion , I,ve been checking out martins dream catcher , looks sweet , but I just setup my boy with a wisker bisquet rest and he loves it ,so Im looking for a compound I think . I think browning use to make a dual cam that had like 3 inches of adjustment , but cant seem to find one .

Personally, I'd never let an arrow rest determine what kind of bow I shoot, but that's your call. Or, should I say, HIS call. He might love shooting an arrow off the shelf with his fingers even more than shooting arrows through a whisker bisquit with a release. I hope you at least let him see the options he's got.

I think the browning RAGE has 10" of draw length adjustment.

I agree the Browning Rage would be worth checking out. Draw length adjusts from 21" to 31" and draw weights range from 35 to 65 lbs.
