RE: need higher poundage for youth
krisken, as a BowTech owner, you should look at the Rascal. I got my 6 yr old son one. He loves it, and they can be upgraded as the kids grow. Even shooting at 18#, 19" draw, his arrows stick about 4" into a 3D target.

RE: need higher poundage for youth
Krisken, The Rascal comes in three draw weight peaks 20, 30 or 40 lbs. The 40# Rascal will adjust down to 30 lbs and is modular draw length adjustable from 19-25" simply by changing a module.
You may also want to take a look at the Stalker Lite. It comes in 30,40,50 and 60 lb. peaks that will adjust dwon 10 lbs. It may draw a little long at first since it comes in 23-29" draw lengths but the way kids grow now day's... You can do a little string and cable work to get it to fit him and he'll be able to use it for a long time...
Both of these bows use the same cam and are both great performers for the money...

I have a 11 year old son shooting a Stalker Lite and he loves it. Also have a 12 year old son shooting a Stalker. They are great bows. The Stalker Lite he has is 22in draw and he will be able to get the weight up to 45lbs next year to hunt deer.

RE: need higher poundage for youth
Since your use to the Browning why not get the Micro Midas 2. Draw range is 22-27 and draw weight is 30lb to 45lb.
The one problem I see with bows that you have to change modules to change draw lenghts is that you have to buy them.

RE: need higher poundage for youth
Thats the exact problem we ran into with my son. He was shooting a Micro Midas and we had it cranked to max for his draw lenght and it wasnt enough. We switched him to a MT Sport from Hoyt and he really liked that bow. That is untill he shot a Bowtech, then thats all I heard. "Dad I gotta have one" So he ended up selling his Hoyt and buying a Bowtech Stalker. He was drawing enough pounds for the Stalker but you can get the Stalker Lite if you need lower lbs and still be able to move up.
