have an 835 synthetic and my 11 yr old shoots 3&31/2 outta it and loves it!!! thought he'd be scared but after the first one he realized it sounded worse than it is. He's about 5' and 105 so I think you'll be fine. Only suggestion i have is if its xtra full shoot 3's first mine blows the center outta the pattern w/ 31/2's. hope this helps
