The problem is that it all depends on his shoulders. I have rotator cup tendonitis (sp?) and I drew many many bows before buying one. I went with Bowtech because for ME it drew smoother than any of the others. I tried Mathews, Hoyt, PSE and a few others but for me the Bowtech was the easiest, smoothest draw. Take him to a pro shop and have him decide what draws best for him. Plain and simple.
