One of my nephews (13-14) has stepped up from his Genesis. He is interested in a bow that he can eventually hunt with. He asked his dad about blunt tips for squirrels and small game, and camo jacket & skinning knife. (That's how it starts)

I'm sure there's good shops in Dawsonville, GA area. Are there any bows I can tell his dad to avoid? Look at? I don't know his draw length or poundage, but he could work up to 40-45 with practice.

Bear Archery makes good youth bows

Mission has some nice youth bows.

Diamond razr edge package. Can usually find them for around $300.00.

Many lbow companies are making nice 'youth' bows for younger people and women. I know Matthews (Mission) and Martin have nice youth bows. I got a Martin Monster Buckhunter for my grandson that has a DL range I believe from 22-29" and a DW of 35-50#. Plenty enough for any whitetail.

Diamond Razor Edge sounds perfect for your nephew. I have my draw weight at 35lbs now but it has a max draw weight of 60lbs so he can work his way up. I am 5'4 126 so the youth model works prefect for my girly frame. Happy Hunting!

My 12 year old shoots this and it is great. We bought it from a store where the guy who owns it shoots one when tree stand hunting, and he is a very large man, all muscle. He says it is a great bow, and has harvested many large game animals.

Diamond has a new bow out now #5 to #70 the package runs about $370.00. Diamond produced this bow to compete with the Mission Craze. So the decision can really be hard buy a Mission and all profits go to missionaries all over the world or buy the Diamond and get a very good product.

I was always a big fan of the parker youth bows, very adjustable and the dl adjustment is super easy. shoot great and are very reasonably priced

Diamond Razer edge infinity............ GREAT bow for youth or women.
