I got my son a Diamond Razor Edge and he is 9yrs old/almost 10.. It is set at 27 lbs right now until he gets more comfortable shooting the bow and gets his form down.. The thing I like about this bow is he should be able to shoot it for a few years.. The bow has different limbs that allow for you to turn up the poundage (i'm hoping he get 3-4 years out of it before he is ready to upgrade).. Its a great kids/youth/ladies bow..
