I'm buying my daughter the rascal it's a very good bow. With 20pd limbs and using a jazz arrow it spits out at 161fps.Like it says,it's not a toy.Plus I can change to a 30 or 40pd limb and keep the same riser.But I let her shoot all the bows for kids and the rascal felt good to her.If the kids shoot a bow that they don't feel comfortable they will not want to be in this sport for long.So if you can let your son pick out whats best for himself,You'll appreciate it in the long run.But I'm glad to hear another next generation coming in the archery world.It's great when families come together when doing something that we all enjoy.It builds special relationships that go beyond just family time.But remember to make it fun and not to serious with them at first.Does he hunt with you too?
