mamato9 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 My sone would like a bow for his 10th birthday. We can spend between $100 and $150. Where would be a good place to look and what brand? I've looked at Cabela's but they are really expensive there. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraceyS/FL Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) Has he shot one before? Is he strong? There are ones that adjust the draw weight that would be beneficial at this point in his growth. But really, i'd think talking to someone at a shop would be best. I had a link to a shop that had them cheaper than in the stores, i'll try to find it again. This is the adjustable type i'm talking about: http://www.genesisbow.com/genpro/index.html (much after this draw weight i think you are getting more into fixed). He's at an age break that he might quickly advanced past the draw weight you buy now too. We had a good experience at Bass Pro Shop and a local Gun Shop. Combined with the info from DD's instructor we were able to make a decision. I think this is the place that had the most youth stuff: http://www.3RiversArchery.com/Youth+Archery_c16_s0_p0_cat.html eta: no, that isn't them... i'll keep looking! LOL! OK, i think it was here: http://www.yeoldearcheryshoppe.com/youth-bows-c-195.html?osCsid=084073ae17mb18g5v89g46q472 Also, go check manufactures sites for their full product lines - often you will find the perfect one on there and then can go hunt that down.

TraceyS/FL Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I should also add, i'm 99% sure that DD has a Browning Discovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amandamc0017 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 My son is 9 and he just got a compound bow. My husband found it on ebay. It's a Mini-Magnum 20lb bow. It's pretty nice, but 20lbs is a little much for him. We were planning on buying a new one, but discovered that we could get a much better one for less money. I think he paid under $40 with shipping. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
