Default New bow package for a my 14 boy

This my have been asked before but here we go anyway.

My 14 has out grown his introductory bow, so we are look at a bow package that can grow with him.

Looking at spending 450-650. If he wants to up grade later that will be on his dime.

Have been looking at G5, Hoyt, Mission and PSE.

Any thing that I should be watching for?

I have not looked at new bows for 7 years.

The G5 seem to be a nicer package

Its hard to find all these bows in stock for him to shoot as he is left handed.

So any recommendations would be help full.

Thanks
TEH

Check out WSS North if you are close (talk to Blake)....or Jimbows in Calgary and see if they have the new Bowtech Fuel....great bow for a starter bow and right in your price range. Or consider the Diamond Infinite Edge, I know formate they come left handed and usually places that sell them will have a lefty hanging around.

Default New bow

I would check out Accurate Archery at Alberta Beach. They carry Prime(G5), Hoyt and Mathews. The Hoyt Ignite would be a good fit!

What draw length and draw weight is your son?
My 13 year old has been shooting a diamond infinite edge for the past year it's a nice bow with a lot of adjustment. He is pulling 25 lbs at 23 or so inches. I'm sure it will be good for him for a couple more years but I'm my mind if he was a year older I'd be looking at bows that are a little closer to his specs with room to grow a bit.
For the money you are looking to spend there are better bows.
