My son has a little kids' bow he enjoys, but I want to get him something for Christmas that will grow with him, that he could hunt with when the time comes.

Saw the Bear Royale in a ready-to-hunt package. Adjusts from 5-50lb draw weight and up to 27" draw.

Anything else to consider?

Thanks, gents

The elite Emerse is what you want. Its a much better bow that they can grow into. I got both my kids one 8 and 11. They have 2 options 20-50# and 30-60#. They shoot them in ASA and 4h.

Check out the Mission line by Mathews. Thats what my son started with around the same age. I dont remeber the exact range but it adjustable from something ridiculous like 18" to 31" and from 15Lbs to 70. Another really cool featured is that you can adjust the draw legth at the cam without needing a press.

When my son was 9 or 10 he wanted to learn how to bow hunt. I bought him a Diamond infinite Edge and he grew up with that bow until he was around 18-19 and got another.
They don’t make that one any more but they do have the Edge XT. It has a wide range of adjustability. 50 lbs of draw weight adjustment and 13” of length of pull adjustment.

I will say that I made a deal with him when he got the bow for Christmas, he could not hunt with it until he was able to hit a quarter at 30yds.
That gave him a purpose to practice and practice hard with it. And he did. Took him a little bit but he finally brought me a quarter he hit. Plus I didn’t want him out there wounding deer like some of his friends ended up doing.

My son shoots a PSE mini burner but its maxed out on poundage. Hoping to get him an opportunity to shoot one with it this year. He currently does 4H target and 3D.

Was texting with a buddy this morning. His two kids shoot the Bear Royale and enjoy them.

I plan on getting my son a Mission Switch which has been discontinued but they still have them available in some stores and online. Going to throw a Trophy Ridge 3 or 5 pin on it.

What bbvdd said, Infinite Edge by Diamond. I bought one for my son about age 8 and he used it until we got him a new one for his senior year in high school.

My kids got mission hammrs about the same age. Its a solid bow and has enough adjustability that they can buy the next one themselves.
