One of my grandsons is 10 yrs old. He's been shooting for a bit with a junior Bear and now has outgrown it. Took him to the local and seems his DL is 23"-23.5 and his DW right now is about 25lbs.
As he will probably being growing for some time yet I am interested in checking out compounds that have a wider adjustable DW. His dad & mother are not very tall and I see him taking after his dad in the height department.
I was told of the Mathews Mission line of bows but can't find one close to us on the island to view yet. Any suggestions on other bows that might be similar in specs that have a wide range for DW ?
thnks

Ok so far I've checked out the following and all seem to have wide ranges of adjustment for DL & DW.
Mathews Mission Craze $360 Bare Bow
Bear Cruzer $450 Cabelas RTS
Martin Krypton $350 Bare Bow
Diamond Infinite Edge $420 RTS
G5 Quest Radical $450 RTS
He shot the Mission yesterday and thought it was pretty cool...gal at local tuned it down to 25 DW and 21DL for him. I was really impressed with how quiet that bow is
He's got a bit of saving to do. His Dad said he's go 50% and there's a good possability that Grandpa may kick in too. I already offered to canabilize my #2 bow of accessories if he chooses a bare bow option.
I'm hoping he'll get lots of chances to shoot different bows before he's finished.....time will tell.
thanks all for your input
