If you are thinking of biting the bullet and buying him a new bow why not just give him a card that says he's getting a new bow and then take him bow shopping. Any time someone asks "what bow should I buy?" we always tell them to shop and shoot as many as possable. I don't know why this would be any diffrent. Actually IMO he may get more out of the shopping experience then if he just opened a present to find his new bow. He'll leand the proper way to shop for a bow and also I think it would be good father and son time.
