Welcome aboard!! I just was out and looking at the same size bows you are seeking I have a ten year old daughter that started shooting 3D last winter and she loves it. But her like you, could use a better bow and since christmas is coming I went out and bought her a nice Browning Micro Midas it is a real nice bow and will fit her for a few years til she is capable of drawing a higher poundage bow. I also looked at the Darton line of bows and they are also very nice bows and I really wanted to get her one of them since I shoot a darton and then my daughter would have a bow like mine and that would be kind of cool but they don't make one that would fit her as well as the browning will but if I were you I would drag dad down to the local pro shop and have him help you pick out a good bow for you besides that would make his day helping his boy pick out a new bow <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>
