Hoyt Rintec, great bow and lots of draw adjustments so he can continue to use it as he grows. 8" of draw length adjustability and it just looks and feels more like an "adult" bow than a "youth" bow. My wife shoots the Rintec XL and she loves it. The XL has 5" of adjustability and upgraded cams. For a bow that he is going to be able to both practice with and hunt with, I thi nk the Hoyt is a better choice than the Genesis.
