Default Need a small/kid sized crossbow

Hey guys,

I spent last Saturday up in Chicagoland running the kids archery range at the US Sportsmen's Alliance Trailblazers program. Trailblazers takes Boy Scout groups from the inner-city and lets them explore the outdoor world and outdoor activities.

We have access to Mathews Genesis bows which work for most of these kids. However, we did have one young man that has adisability and is unable to hold up a regular bow. It's at least his second year at the event and he has a true winning attitude and with an instructor holding the bow, he can pull it back and shoot. It is difficult for him tho'.

I was talking with him and mentioned that if we had a crossbow, he could probably shoot it by himself. He seemed very interested in this idea.

So, for next year's event, I'd like to have a very lightweight crossbow available.

I'm not familiar with what is out there. Is there something like this available? Are they expensive?

I appreciate the help!
