A real nice compact treestand bow for someone with a shorter draw length.......the brace height isn' t as high as some of the other offerings, and it won' t be quite as dead in the hand as the VFT models but its quick and quiet and as manueverable as it gets in a treestand or groundblind. If he finds the Tech29 a little " Too Compact" then have him check out the Mighty Mite, not much difference in speed , but a 7+" brace height and a little more ATA length. Even at my 30" draw length it was comfortable to shoot and a sweet bow to hunt with.
