Have him go to a bow shop and shoot a variety of different bows. Find a bow that fits him with proper form. Just "any" bow may not fit him properly and cause bad habits and bad form which is very difficult to correct or "unlearn" later on down the road.
Brand and speed doesn't matter. Remember, American Indians used sharpened rocks tied to sticks...

Draw length?
draw weight?
Right or Left eye dominant?
These are a couple of things you need to know before buying a bow. If he has never drawn a bow he will need a lower weight to start with. He will need to be fitted for a release. Peep sight will need to be fitted. Arrow rest is very important. First timers usually have issues keeping an arrow on the "in vogue" skinny rests.
It would be best to take him to a pro shop and determine his draw length and weight. Eye dominance and which side of the bow he is gonna shoot from? Beware of people that would sale you a bow without first asking these questions.
As stated above, alot of good bows in the classifieds, just make sure it fits him correctly.Last edited by lovemylegacy; 08-30-2018, 03:41 AM.
