Need a youth bow for hunting finger relesse
Can anyone reccomend a youth bow - 30-40lbs that my son could hunt with and shoot with finger release. Seems like most youth bows I've seen in catalogs are short axle bows designed for mech. release. Any opinions would be helpful thanks. Looking for Christmas present or Spring birthday. He'll be 12 (hunting age in Wisc.) in April.

Look long and hard at the Browning Micro Midas III....it's DL is adjustable from 18-28", in 1" increments, and is a 30-40 pound bow. If you need a bit more weight, look at the Micro Adrenaline. It's a 40-50 pound. I believe, though, that the Midas IV is being introduced very soon, if not already.
The Midas III is really fast, I believe rated at 270.....And that's on it's specs, not standard IBO.....Very smooth as well. I bought my son one, he outgrew it, and now my daughter shoots it.

We have one that my 16yr. old son is about ready to outgrow. It is a Darton Mustang. It is a bow from the mid-nineties, but shoots very well. It has draw wt. adjustment of 35-50#, modules to cover 26-29" of draw. The axle length is 40", and the brace height is just over 7". The other two boys have Micro Midas bows (we actually have a MM 1, 2, and 3 in the house. I would say the longer bow is easier to shoot with fingers.

Did they shoot it with a mechanical release or using fingers?
