Default Best Bet for a Youngsters First Bow???

Have a little cousin who would like a bow for his birthday. He is 9 yrs old and is a skinny little kid like I was. His dad hunts on our lease and he has a bow. The boy goes hunting with him alot and would like his own bow. Any ideas on a good bow that is adjustable draw and poundage? Saw some Bears at Wally World any ideas?

Thanks,

Kent

My first bow was a PSE Nova Team Fitzgerald. I was around 11 I think when I got it for my birthday. It shot well. It was adjustable from 40-50 lbs. I dont remember the draw lengths though. Sorry.

I'm not trying to push or really sell anything.....but I've got this exact bow that we're not using. It'sready to shoot....and I'll take $150 for it...+ shipping. It hasa biscuit...sight, peep, quiver, arrows....full set-up....and some kid needsto be using it.Send me an e-mail if you're interested.

a friend of mine just bought his daughter her first bow. its an alpine micro extreme. its 8-9" draw adjustable. they have them in 20-30,30-40,40-50. he got her a 30-40. but bought the limbs to go up to 40-50. i think the bow retails for $230. limbs were another 40 or so.but this lil bow is really impressive.

Bear Kodiak Cub. A recurve has no specific draw length and the further you pull it, the stronger it is. So, it automatically adjusts to the kid's draw length and strength as he grows.
