Depends on the kid I suppose?
In NH there's a minimum bow weight of 45 lbs. for compound and 40 lbs for recurve.
I'm not sure about an age regulation?

For myself, trying to remember back 30 years,
I remember playing with my buddies recurve @ age 13 that was a 30lb. pull and am not sure I could have pulled 40 plus pounds.
I think the kid would have to be Arnolds son to pull a bow back in my state?
