Default RE: bow for a youth

30 lbs is ridiculous. A 7 year old will DESTROY themself trying to pull too much weight.

Find a reputable proshop, and they're gonna steer you towards something under 15 lbs.


As for a decent YOUTH bow, I just bought my oldest son a Hoyt RinTec. Set at 32 lbs, it will fling arrows nearly as fast as my old 70lbs. PSE (for 15 yards or so. ) It goes from 18-26" draw length, 20-50# weight, 6 3/8" brace, 33 1/4 ata, weight 2 pounds 14 oz's, and at 50# @ 26" is IBO rated at 270FPS.

This new Hoyt bow is worth checking out if you are willing to drop 400+ on a package for your kid.

(wish I had a bow this nice to learn on... my first real bow was a Hoyt pro-hunter 45# recurve. )
