I agree with bronko. He is at the stage where you really won't get the abvantages of a youth bow that has a lot of adjustments. He will already be at the high end of the adjustment range. You will probably be looking at a 60 lb bow at this point. A gift certificate is your best bet so he can be properly fitted for the right bow. It would also give him a chance to shoot a few to find the one that feels good to him. Should be able to find one in your price range. Might not be a package deal. Those usually start around $400.00 for an adult package. You might find a 2013 package on clearance right after Christmas. Good luck. HD.
