Re: youth bow
The Bear Apprentice 2 goes to 60lbs ( the Apprentice went to 50 lbs). Due to draw weight building with draw length, it may be too much. A buddy just turned his down as far as it would go for his 12 yr old daughter (athletic & short DL) and was still 33lbs or so....too much for her.
I would highly recommend the new Diamond Infinite Edge. My oldest has one and is really liking it ( he's 9).Plenty of room to grow into this one, and the DL goes way down.
As long as there's carbon in the air, there's hope!
