Thanks everyone for the posts. We have archery leauge tomorrow night, and allready its all he talkes about. LOVE IT!!!!
Bobco, Great picture! Yep, I think traditional is the way to go to get them into it. Something easy to pull and mushy. Teaches them form and a good release before switching to the compound if thats what he wants to do. Like you said too, I will let him make that decision when it comes time. I just started shooting traditional the last three years and just love it! I took my first deer with it this winter. So maybe he will stick to the traditional think a bit longer if I'm doing it too. Great group too!!

Dave, here is what got for my son when when he got started in archery.
I bought one of those inexpensive fiberglass recurve(long) bows. They come with I think two red fiberglass arrows, a plastic/leather looking arrow quiver, and a finger tab. Sorry I can't remember the brand. I didn't think much of the arrows, they are really heavy for a light weight bow, and they fily like...well they just didn't do it for me. I went and got some Easton #1712's and got them cut a little longer than his draw. At this age they grow so fast I cut them about 8" longer than he needed. Ok, second thing I did to the arrows is take off the plactic vanes that they came with, they didn't fly all that great either, and taught my boy how to fletch an arrow by putting on some small feathers. Yep, he fletches his own arrows too!!The kind some of the indoor guys use. Now when you try to nock these arrows on the string they will not fit, the string is too small of a diameter. So I took some of my serving string I had and served the string, which is really light weight rope. Put a couple of nocks on it (one above the arrow, and one below)and they fit on it like a charm. The finger tab that comes with the pack didn't work well for my boy. So he just shoots with this bare fingers. After a few shots he said that his fingers started to hurt. I couldn't find a glove small enough for him, so I took some black electrician tape and wraped it above the nock, and below. You can see it in the second picture I posted. Wa-la! It shoots them light aluminum arrows like a charm, and his fingers don't hurt a bit when he shoots. All in all I know I spent more on the arrows then the bow, but it shoots so much better with them you can't believe it. Thats it.

Thanks again everyone.
