My middle son is 11 and has been shooting a PSE Spyder for the last 3 seasons. He has outgrown it and I need to upgrade.
Any suggestions on a good kids bow that he can grow with for the next couple of years????
Thanks in advance,
Doublelung

I'd recommend the Browning Adrenalin . It has a 10" draw length range for a growing archer .

I agree. My daughter has been using a Micro-Adrenalin for the past few years. With 10" of draw-length adjustment, her's goes from 18" to 28", it should last younger archers for quite a while.

I bought Tyler a Parker Micro Phoenix. After shooting the Parker he said "dad this feels like real bow". It has a lot of adjustment and a good range of poundage adjustment. I just looked at their new bows and I am very impress, still.
The draw cycles are very smooth, little to no hand shock and a pleasure to shoot. I have found myself shooting his bow... a little short for me but tons of fun.
My wife is wanting to start shooting and if I buy a new bow for her I will look at the Parker line for sure. The new pink camo does look sexy.

The Browning Adrenalin are nice bows. I bought both of my sons one. The only thing i didnt like was there was not a SOLID wall. Thus they werent getting a good anchor point each time. Cause of the slack. I put a kisser button on for them. This helped. But i just went ahead and upgraded too a different bow.
Hoyt makes a great youth bow. In the $350 price range. Parker, PSE, Mathews have some good youth bows as well
Ive gone thru a couple in trying to get a good set-up. They have the Hoyt Trykon Sport. Nice bow. Didnt break the pocket book. Draw range 23.5" to 28.5" 20 to 50 lbs.

The mission bows are great at a good price.Parker has a grow up program.Martins are not hard to change modules in for growth.With all that said let him try some.The dxt is suuwwweeeeet!I LOVE my prestige.You can always put another cam on if he outgrows this one.
Bring him to Eagle's Wings for the DSA shoot and let him play.
