Thanks for all of the replies. The opinions are mixed, slightly moreopposition. Unfortunately, the bow adjusts draw length and poundage simultaneously. The length is perfect, so we need to wait till he grows before wecanmake adjustments. Regarding crossbows, he saved up for this bow on hisownand thinks highly ofit. Also, crossbows are seasonal in MD.
I sure hope someone chimes in who has first hand experience with low poundage. But thanks just the same for all of the responses.
