Are you looking for a crossbow or a regular compound bow?

Check out the Bear Apprentice. Draw weight maxes out at 50 lbs. Draw length goes from 14 to 25 inches. Bought one for my then 8 year old daughter and she shoots every day. She'll be 10 in September and the bow has held up very well. $280

My daughter started on a Darton RangerIII. It has a really large draw range 17-28" and 15-45# weight (although I could only get it to 41#) I see the new ones say they will go to 50.

My 10y.o. son is only at 30lbs, and his Diamond Razor Edge is just right for him. It has 15-29# limbs, or it can be bought with 30-60# limbs (what my son has). It comes in a ready-to-shoot package (around $330) that only requires the addition of arrows and a release. The draw length goes from 19-29" so make sure that your son's draw length is at least 19". My 10y.o. has a 20.5" DL. If his draw length is under 19", then the Mission Craze would be my next choice.

+1 on the Razors edge my sister and I both bought one this weekend.
She's really petite, and the low draw weight will allow her to train up to a legal hunting draw weight. (40# is min draw weight in this state for hunting big game) For me, even though I'm not a small man, the compact size but with a 60# draw made a lot of sense. Sure I can pull 70 or 80lbs, but it's not something i'm going to do consistently everytime all day while practicing, and 60# will kill just as effectively. Once again, shot placement is far more important than draw weight. As was already stated, this bow comes equiped with a 2 piece ultra light 5 arrow quiver, 3 pin fiber optic sight, and arrow rest, string dampeners and a cam system that will let you tweak your draw weight from 29-60lbs with nothing more than a allen wrench. Oh, and it's designed and built by Bowtech. Clicky |

My boy has the razors edge too. Likes it alot. Be wary if you buy it at cabelas/bass pro. They slap em together and they aren't even close to right. Have to take it somewhere and re square the whole bow.

Have to take it somewhere and re square the whole bow. In general, that's great advice for box stores like Cabela's/Gander/Bass Pro. Sometimes, you'll discover a real gem amid the rocks, though. The Gander Mtn closest to me has an old guy who competes in NFAA tournaments, sets up and tunes his own bows, and really knows his stuff (friends with my son's archery instructor). He makes sure customers get taken care of right. In general, though, it's best to buy one from an archery pro shop. |
