Hi All,
I'm new to the site but a complete and sold-out Brother in the outdoor world. Glad I found ya'll!

I bought a Browning Midas 2 for my son 3 years ago. He is 11 now and the Midas is too small. He wants to start hunting, and I wish to take him. Our archery season just closed so we're talking about next year. I've been searching Ebay for used bows, and I found a couple that I considered buying, but I don't know enough about bows. I am certainly not in a position to waste money! The Midas is 25/30#. You have to have a minimum of 40# to legally hunt. There is no need to spend big bucks on this bow as my son is growing like a weed! I shoot a Trykon and he doesn't need anything like that. It will get dropped and handled roughly. Does anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking a 40-70# bow with the basic goodies, and I was looking at used for under $100. Wouldn't an older compound serve him well for the next 5 or 6 years?

Thanks,

Kerrdog
