RE: Help me start my son!
If he can pull the 30# that should be plenty.
(1) Spend the money for a retriever reel from AMS.
(2) Make sure the arrows you get him have safety slides.
If you need to, you can cut the arrowsdown for his draw length. But that usually isn't needed.
(3) Make sure the rest will support the heavy fiberglass arrows.
(4) Have fun!
