RE: First bow for an 11 year old
U can get a Browning Micro Midas III for around.....$270 set up. And if you're REALLY lucky, you can find a used one. They have 10 full inches of DL adjustment, and are available in 30 and 40 pound models. And, they're IBO rated 270, which is pretty incredible given what it is. We sell the livin crap out of them during the spring for the 4H shooters. The only draw back to them is the DL is only adjustable 1" at a time, no 1/2" increment.
