Does this set include nocking points and a bow stringer? What poundage (draw weight) should a 13 year old boy use?

The set includes a bow stringer, but no knocking points. I would say a 25 to 30lbs. pull would be good for a 13 year old.

My understanding is that the draw weight of the bow is determined by the limbs which are attached. You can modify the draw weight by using different limbs. I bought a set of 30lbs and 55lbs limbs so that I can have my young son use the same bow. We swap out the 55lbs limb for the 30lbs'ers when he wants to shoot. It regards to the description, it was probably just a misprint.

Bows don't usually come in sizes, it's by draw weight. A 50 lb is for fairly strong adult men. I've prefer 40-45 lbs as I can practice much longer without becoming exhausted.

This is technically a youth bow, however take into account the draw strength and the person who will be using it. There is a wide range of draw levels but I would make sure that the archer using it is able to safely pull on this prior to purchase.

The draw weight only goes to #20, which to an adult, may seem a little bit under poweredIf you want a compound bow that's more "grown up", look at other options as the genesis was meant primarily for kidsOther bows (on Amazon) include: PSE Stinger 3G, Diamond Infinite Edge, and Quest Radical

Maybe 27lb ,17 to 24 in draw not what I thought it would be . Went to a bow I can add Lb an draw to . Good for a 7 year old

yes you can draw the bow past the standard 28" draw length, you can draw it to at least 32" without any damage to the bow. the draw weight of the bow will increase about 3 to5 pounds per inch past 28"

i am a 69 year old man getting back into bow hunting. I am right handed, but blind in right eye, so I needed a left hand bow. I wasn't sure how much poundage I could pull, so I looked for a kids bow that was adjustable. The diamond came with an adjustment from 5-70lbs, and draw length from 15 to 30 inches. I went to a pro shop that set my bow up for me at 37lbs and 271/2 inches. I love it very accurate and dependable. Small enough to use from a ground blind, and light enough carry into the field.

this bow is more appropriate for younger kids, more like 7-10. For a 15yr old I'd be looking at a low end adult bow, maybe 40-60lb draw depending on the size of the boy. A decent take-down bow in the 35-40lb range might be a good option if you are looking at something portable and not compound

Age 16, girl, beginner - perfect bow! Get some extra arrows as they are easily lost and are not very stout to start with. Best wishes! Bruce. (don't discard the sight that is embedded in the cardboard that is entangled within the bow strings.) Throw nothing away until you have used the sight! :-) BTW this is a serious bow, you could kill with this (with broadheads - a deer)

Draw length 30" give or take. My sons bow is a 68" with a 24lb draw. Good looking barebones bow. Good starter bow or new to recurve. Came with string..

Hello Kelly, I have two different bows I had purchased, I believe the bow in question has a 16 lb. draw. I hope this answers your question.

No they do not. Despite being listed in the "Hunting Arrows" section, these are strictly target/tournament arrows. The tips are target tips and are permanently glued in. An 1820 shaft is a very lightweight shaft only suitable for low draw weight bows. The G-uni bushing that is listed is an adapter for the nock that lets you use a universal size nock.

Honestly no, the bow has a 50 lb draw and can take some getting used to. It is not the easiest to learn too shoot with, accuracy is based more off your reactions rather than sighting in the target. It was good for introducing my girl friend to bows but she quickly decided to get one more tailored to her. I hope this helps.

The 12 year old we have couldn't draw the bow. If your grandson is large for his age, he may not have an issue. I suggest heading to your local sports supply shop to get a better idea of what you are buying. I walked into this blind, and had I known better, would have gone in a different direction.

My daughter uses youth arrows that just have round dull tips. Field Logic says you can use any tip but for that block not to use a bow with more than a 40lb draw. I would suggest if they are new to get arrows that are target arrows because they will miss and hit other things.
