I'd say yes. That's a $500+ bow, and despite their nickname, the "High Junkie's" are pretty good bows. I know a lot of guys who use them.

It's got a good brace height, the ATA length is pretty short - so it should be a very adequate hunting bow.

If he buys it and hates it, he can recoup the $250 on ebay, I'd reckon. A "Free Trial," if you will.
