    Which Bow for a young teen to start hunting with?

    What are some good bows to look at for growing young teens (13yo). They outgrew their Diamond Atomic bows and I just sold them. My twins are ready to move up to a bow that they can start to hunt with and ethically kill a deer/hog. I've looked at Mission Switch, Hammr, and MXR, Hoyt Kobalt, Darton Emergence, Diamond Edge, Elite Ember, etc...but thought I'd ask the GS what has been good for your kid(s) on a bow that's very adjustable and they can continue to grow with?

    Mission (Mathews) makes a really flexible bow that will last them a long time. My daughters is 10 yo and still just fine for her

      Diamond Infinte Edge is also highly adjustable.

        My 12yo son shoots a Bow Tech Amplify. Super adjustable and much better performance than the other adjustable bows.

          Look real close at whatever you choose. Some claim highly adjustable but you can't get enough poundage except at longer draw lengths.

                I bought 3 Mission bows 2 years ago. Very good quality and flexibility for my boys.

                  My youngest two are 17 and 18 and they are still shooting their Mission bows I bought on here a few years back.

                    I went thru the same issues with my boys. I'd go with the Diamond Edge 320

                      Diamond Infinite Edge was my favorite for my son. Then my wife picked it up and shot a lot of animals with it. I will still take it out and shot it for fun.

                        Where are you located? Im sitting in my office looking at a Matthews Eliminator II. I have no use for it anymore. It has not been used in several years and is in perfect condition (Id have a shop check out the strings just in case from sitting). I would be willing to give it away.

                          Thanks for the offer, but I came upon a deal I couldn't turn down today at Scheels. They had the Mission Switch package for $599 new and I decided that was what I wanted, but that I would look for some used ones in the near future or just bite the bullet next month. I had no idea they had a Preowned isle of bows, and as luck would have it, I found 2 like new Mission Switch bows for sale, one camo and one black. I paid $575 total for 2 like new bows and felt like I'd stole em! Lol The boys are pumped and we'll take back up there soon to set them up to spec.

                          Thanks for all the helpful comments guys!
