I bought the Parker for my son also. He is 11 and about 75 lbs. He is already drawing about 35 lbs. He will be able to hunt with this bow for many years. I have already set it up for me. 5'10" and 200 lbs. With in 15 mn I had it sighted in for 30 yds. 15 minutes later he has it resighted for him self.
