Anyone have a used compound for my son (15)?
It's time for my boy to pick up a decent bow. His draw is 26-27" at this point and he is growing. He has saved some dough and I thought this would be a decent place to see if anyone has anything they were going to sell.

Email me off the profile please. We are in Central OH.

Thanks in advance,

check out the classifieds at archerytalk.com you'll find hundreds of bows.

if he's still growing, there are a number of bows out now that offer a good range of draw lenght adjustment, i would get one of those instead of a bow that you have to change cams or draw mods to change the length.

many bows now also offer quite a bit of draw weight adjustment, which can also be helpful, depending on how much he can pull now. i would guess if he's been shooting, a 50-60# would work fine, and maybe he's stout enough to get a 60-70# if thats what he wants.

If he was a bit older, I could help out. I always shoot 70lbs, but they can be turned down to 60, but draw length usually involves a change of cams. .

You might try a local bow shop. The one I frequent has dozens of used bows from $100 or so to much more.
And in doing this you will have a bow that fits him.

We ended up with a Mission Riot. Very adjustable and it's new!

Thanks all. He loves it.

great choice!!!! Always better to buy new than take a chance on a used bow.
