I posted this at bowhunting.com. I then realized it is probably more of a technical type question so I posted it here. Sorry for the double post. Anyway, here is the situation and question.

My son who is 12 is 150 lbs and is 5'6" wants to follow in his old man's footsteps and bowhunt. I bought a Mathews SQ2 last year and gave him my HCA Ultra. Now the bow's safest lowest poundage is 55# - a weight he can't yet pull back. Should I buy him a bow he can pull back or should I wait until he can use the HCA? If you think I should buy him a bow, what do you recommend? I don't want to buy a $600 bow and put $500 worth of accessories on it like I did. I would like to keep it around $500 or less for everything if possible
