Looking for a bow for my 8 year old son and could use all the help i can get. Looking at a Parker bow because of the "Grow With Parker" program that will put new limbs and cams as he grows for only 50 bucks and also cause of the bow weight. If any knows the pros and cons please let me know and also if any thinks there is a better bow for youth to let me know.

Just trying to see what people bought there little ones. He has been shooting a really cheap bow and I think that its time for a quality bow.

Thanks for all the info.

I picked up a fuse freestyle for my daughter. 10 to 25 lbs draw weight and 14 to 24" draw. Modular set up on the cams so you can adjust draw length and weight at home without a press. I think Diamond has something similar in the nuclear ice package. Both run about $150. Figure by the time my girls get to the age and stength they are shooting the bow maxed out, they well have shown me enough commitment to the sport that it will be time to move up to the minor leagues and get a Mission Menace or Hoyt Trykon Sport Junior.

The Diamond Edge is a perfect bow. You can have as low as 15# all the way to 50#s. the draw leghth goes all the way to 28". This is a bow that can be used for a very long time for around $200-250 set up ready to go. I bought one for my small framed wife. She started around 25#s but quickly moved up to 50#s.
I use one for bowfishing. It is truly a great bow and i highly recomend it.

I have a Mission Menace, made by Mathews. I really like it. It goes up to 53lbs and 30in (I think). Whole setup with case and arrows and everything on the bow was $450. It comes in a variety of colors too.
