RE: Too young for a " real" bow?
I bought my wife the Browning " Micro Midas" (i think) it adjusts for draw length and wt from 35 to 50 lbs. Perfect bow to grow with and will feel and shoot like a " real" bow. It definatly will kill a deer. as mentioned about $200.
He sounds ready to me. It isn' t an age thing but a readyness.
