Well if you are looking for a BowTech, the Tomkat (assuming it' s in his draw length range) and the BlackHawk or BlackHawk II. are both mid-priced bows with good performance and solidly built. No bells & whistles, but they both are good solid hunting bows. The Tomkat comes as a kit with sight, rest, stabilizer & rest; MSRP is $479 I believe, and Is ee them going for les than that usually. The BH & BHII are just " bare" bows (though they come with the " hush kit" as does the TK).

I personally don' t care for a bow as short as the BlackHawk, but they shoot very nice with that big brace height, and are suprisingly quick. A lot of bang for the buck, especially for a younger archer as the bow can " grow" with him.
