I have the Hype DT that goes from 30" to 19" and goes from 70lb to 20lb. Very versatile and cheap in the used market. I think new replacement is Switch now.

He would be able to shoot these models until he is ready for an adult bow. https://missionarchery.com/bows/radik/ https://missionarchery.com/bows/hammr/ "I hate rude behavior in a man.
