Beginers bow

[400bull]

I am looking at getting my 13 year old boy a bow to start shooting. I will be taking him down tonight to have him sized up so I know what type of bow he will fit into. At 5?10? tall I am going to guess his draw length to be right around 27?-28?. I have found a lot of youth bows that I think he would be happy with this year but their max draw length ends at 27?-28?. The only two that I have found with a draw length longer the 28? and offered in LH is the Diamond Razor Edge and the PSE Rally. Out of these two bows which one do you think would be the best bow for a beginner?

I wouldn't be afraid to get him an adult bow with a 55-70 pound draw. Just remember the better quality equipment you get the less it will cost you in the long time. If he is 13 and a 28 draw he will out grow the bow in a year ir two where if he gets a adjustable draw adult bow he can keep it for every if wanted

And just cause he has a 28 dl dosnt mean he can draw over 50lb.

I need to have him sized up to make sure, I doubt that he will be able to handle a adult sized bow. He is cross-eyed dominate so I will teach him to shoot left handed. I would be surprised if he will be able to handle a bow much over 30 lb. Besides that I would much rather him get the fundamentals down with a light draw weight until he has it perfected. Once he has the fundamentals down I will then start to increase his draw weight.
