[QUOTE="Fly-guy, post: 595130, member: 3252"] ILH - I have several pieces of advise since you asked. First, stay away from a pawn shop, more than likely they know even less than you do about bows and are interested in selling you anything just to make a sale. How old is your son and are you certain that he is REALLY is interested in bow hunting? For the amount of money it will take to set him up, you'd better make sure his heart is in it. Pse, Parker, Bow Tech and Mathews will be excellent choices, unfortunately all of these bows are expensive. Which ever brand of bow you decide on, I would make sure it has cams instead of wheels. Next, put a "fiber" site on it, a whisker biscuit arrow rest, and a "string loop" to connect the caliper trigger release to. I strongly suggest using carbon arrows with a good quality broadhead like a 100gr. Muzzy and a quick release quiver. Opps, almost forgot to have you add a peep site to the bow string, that will make a world of differance in accuracy. I would look for a Mom & Pop bow shop, Bass Pro or Gander Mountain to help select and set the bow up. Just to give you an idea of the expense: Fiber sight $70, whisker biscuit $40, caliper release $40, string loop $2.00, 1 dozen carbon arrows $80, 3 pack of Muzzys $18, quiver $30, peep site $10, bow $250 - $700. So just be sure he is really interested in it. I've hunted with rifle, muzzel loader, pistol and bow and can tell you that I've enjoyed the bow more than any other method. I don't get as many deer with a bow but I've seen many things in nature that a firearms hunter will ever see. One other thing, keep him interested in hunting and there is a good chance you won"t have to worry about drugs, alcohol and undesireable friends. Good luck! Fly-guy [/QUOTE]
