New bow package for a my 14 boy

[Thunder Elk Hunter]

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

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.

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.

Bowtech fuel will grow with him.

pse vision. ajustable from 12" draw to 33" and 30 to 70 lbs draw weight

thanks for the ideas and the PM guys. Will let you know over the next week or so what he decides to get.

go with the g5 radical i personally have shot it and love it compared to the diamond infinite. and the nice part about g5 is that just because its a youth bow they put the same attachments on it as their top of the line models.

Its hard to suggest some of the bows above ...I have seen 14 years youngsters that are pushing 6 Ft and weigh in near 200 lbs with arms like the Rock...and others 4 ft high and would blow away in a stiff wind...haha

One would have to know height ...and like asked above draw length and weight of present bow to judge properly...

Well he found his bow today picked up a Quest Rogue.
Went fishing at Lac St. Anne and dropped by Accurate Archery at the Alberta Beach, Lawrence was excellent to deal with.

He shot the Hoyt Ignite, the Quest Radical and the Rogue today. The Rogue just fit him better than any of the other bows he shot today or in the past month.
It surprised me how fast he is growing had him measured a month ago at 25.5 inches and today he 27. Nice medium priced bow with enough adjustment that he should not grow out of unless he continues to grow as fast as he currently is. He now has a bow that he can use until wants to spend the cash and up grade on his own. He shoots the bow very well and there are some very good features on this bow.

Thanks all for the input and by the way fishing was very good.

PSE Vision in Skullworks! Just saying....

Man there are a lot of guys with G5 bows! Great choice on going to Accurate I have only heard good things. What sort of weight is he pulling?
I am sure that bow will last him a long time.
