I know nothng about the Tundra. I can tell you what I did. I bought my 14 yr old son a bow for christmas just a few weeks ago. I went with the PSE Thunderbolt, about 50.00 more then your Tundra but seems like alot of bow for the money.

When buying a bow for a 14 year old you should get a bow that the draw length can be adjusted as he grows so you dont have to buy a bow or new cams or modules every time he has a growth spurt.
there are many bows on the market that fit this bill
I would recommending you considering one of the HCA bows that are avalable with the per-fex cam which has50# to 70# of draw weight adjust and is adjustable from 26" to 32"

You can't find Champion's website because they were run out of business over a patent infringement. They were decent enough bows but, since you can't get warranty service for their bows any more and since they never were real expensive bows anyway... $250 just seems way too steep to me.

I agree with BPS about getting a bow with a lot of adjustability in draw length and draw weight. But I'd also recommend thinking about getting the kid a recurve.

With a recurve, as the boy grows, the draw length and draw weight increases right along with him. Unless he turns into an ape with a 33" draw, he'll never outgrow a recurve. I know quite a few guys who started shooting in the 50's and 60's that still have their first recurve. It's one of their highly cherished possessions. I don't know anybody that's been shooting for a long while and still has their first compound.

You can get him something like the Chekmate Falcon, custom made for him with his name on it, for around $200-250.
