I guessI did leave some info out.I don't know if he willbe able to cock it himself. I will be with him in the blind and probably do this for him. I'm assuming he will be able to hold it himself. He still turkey hunts and holds his Remington 11-87 Turkey gun himself. I'm assuming a crossbow wouldn't be any heavier. Just let me know what else you may need to know. Thanks again.
