draw weight ?

[trap4life]

well my son is 10 and he is able to pull his bow set at 30 lbs. Do you think that is enough to use for hunting white tail deer. I am hopeing he can get his strength higher before the season starts , just wondering what would be the mimum he could get away with. I will make sure to use a cut on contact broadhead that dont make to big of a hole. Oh yea it is a diamond compound bow.

Check the regs. I know ours here are more than 30 just not sure right now what it is.

Here in Colorado the minimum draw weight is 35 lbs. The cut on contact is a must for that draw weight, and also a close shot with the ability to put the arrow where it needs to go. Sounds like your young man is getting close, but maybe not this season.

I would recommend a heavier bow but then again it is about the distance and the broadhead.
I small COC such as the Magnus stinger 85gr. would be a great head and a distance of 15 yards would be optimal.
My son took some hogs when he was 8-10 with a 40# compound. No issues at all but by what I saw... I wouldn't suggest less than 35#
