I need advice, my grandson is 13 and interested in learning traditional archery. I do not have time to build him one yet, so option's for where to buy a decent one.
Maddog all the way! :bigsmyl: Excellent quality, price and a great person to deal with. You can't go wrong with Mike and his bows. :thumbsup:
Maddog for sure.
thanks

Check out St. Joe River Bows too, they make a great bow, and they offer a trade up program as well.

Graps I have a lighter set of bear TD limbs I can lend to the cause if you have the riser. I'd loan you a riser but my teenager won't let it go.
Sorry, meant " Toddster"
maddog prairie predator, with enough length that he can grow into it.
Maddog or Black Rhino - both are excellent bows, and great customer service for youth. However - if he's 13, he can likely handle any of the lighter weight bows you can find depending on his draw length, so 40 or 45 lbs at 28".
Be careful with too much weight.....my 12-13 year old was not ready to pull over 30lbs at his draw length. I bought a Prairie Predator 37 @ 28 and it was too much for him. Now I have enjoyed shooting that bow, that's for sure, we're keeping it! But I had to go back and get him another bow. I ended up with a Black Rhino 58 inch bow 29lbs @ 28 inches. This he could handle just fine. A year later and he hasn't shot his bow much lately.....into computers and guitars these days....suppose chasing girls is next if that hasn't started already--he's a little cagey about all that...anyway there will always be a bow here for him to use if and when he is wanting to....
The Big Rock Black Hunter Longbow is inexpensive, but a nice shooter. Plus it is a take-down, and you can buy different limbs as he grows into it.
Corrected the brand name,
You mean "Big Rock"?
Changed the correct name in my post. Sorry about that.
