[tndad]

My son wants to try bow hunting and wants a bow for his birthday.Any suggestions on a first bow for a 14 year old.

Take a look at the Mission Craze. He can use that bow from now on.

5'4" and 120 pounds is big enough for about any bow that will go down to 26" draw length.

Take him down to the bow shop and see how many pounds he can comfortably pull. I was about the same size and drawing about 50 pounds at that age, but it was all I could manage.

I'd look for a lightly used Matthews DXT or another short axle to axle bow. Tall people don't think about how hard it is to shoot a longer bow out of a deer stand, but it makes a big difference for me. I would try to get him into a 60 pound limb that you can turn down till he works up to it. It won't take in but one summer of shooting to have it cranked down.

i have a pse stingray that would fit him perfectly

Make sure you get him a bow with a wide draw length range , so when he grows , he can adjust the draw length . A good proshop can get him measured and setup properly and let him shoot a few bows to se what he likes .

Diamond's Razor Edge would be a perfect fit in my opinion! Have heard a lot of good things about the bow from friends who have been in your shoes.

Here's a link to BassPro's package, and the reviews pretty much speak for itself.
