And try as best you can to fit the draw length to him... hard to do sometimes with older style bows.

I was lucky; I was self-taught from the get-go, and bought what was probably a 31" draw (I'm a 29) and managed to stick with it until I figured it out. But I do remember HOW much better the whole experience was once I got a bow to fit me.

Main thing... have fun!!

And congratulations on getting a chance to turn someone our way.
