I was looking to get this set for my 10yr old son. He has taken several lessons. Any advice on what lb pull is best for a 10yr old?

17-20lbs is a good weight for youth. We bought our daughter (12yrs) the 35lb weight and it took her awhile to be able to build up the strength to pull it. Lower weight is easier to start with.

Depends on his build and strength. Suggest you ask whoever gives him lessons... if they are not available, take him to a Bow shop and have them make a suggestion on draw weight. It is better to err on the side of getting a lighter draw rather than a draw that is too heavy.

Generally a ten year old would draw 20-22 inches of draw and would be comfortable with a pound pull of under 20 pounds. That means the best poundage bow for your son would be the 24# model. The 24# model is measured at 28 inches of pull therefore at 20-22 inches of draw, that bow would be 15-20 pound pull. These are generalities and you could purchase a heavier model if your son was EXTREMELY stronger than an average 10 year old. Otherwise stick with the 24#.

This bike will give your son something to grow with. You can always put training wheels on it and then take them off when he's ready. I have a 10 year old and 8 year old that love riding this bike, but they would've been fine with its size at 6 as well.

We have had it now for a month. I have a 2 1/2 yr old son and also a just turned 4 yr old daughter. My son isnt super into it yet, he's kind of a smaller dude. My daughter loves it. She is tall and 49 lbs to give you an idea of her size. It works awesome. We have the buffalo and since it's more sturdy than the chameleon I plan to use for a long time. My 8 yr old wanted to try it out but I had to say no.

My son bought the reel and he says it works great. He uses it with 10 pound test freshwater bass fishing all the time.

Thank you for your post. I am looking for a tagging system for my 2 boys (10 & 12). I've found them for $60 a set which is expensive but justified if they use them. However the upgraded set is $399 on Amazon. I can't imagine spending $399 for the same gun with a few more attachments.

Get the junior. The child I purchased it for was 5 at the time. When his dad took him sledding, he ended up using it while the child used something smaller. It's very zippy. My grand nephew is very strong and athletic. I think he would have been able to handle it. But at 4 it might be too large. Either way Amazon will exchange it if it's not right. It's a great product.

The larger set has shapes that the smaller set does not have. I don't think you could go wrong with either set, but I recommend that you start out with either one of the larger sets. I purchased a 20 pc set at first to see if our grandsons would like magformers, and it was a huge mistake as they both LOVED them and so we did not have enough pieces for them both. I have since invested in many sets and it provides hours of creative fun for them......a great toy in my opinion.

If the 11 year old was 5 feet tall or more I would go a step up to a "junior" set. I think Yamaha makes one. They are more expensive. While the quirky of the Gammon is good for a children's set it is really for the 4-10 year old. Hope this helps

Unless you are a regular weight lifter I wouldn't recommend it, and I am pretty sure he exceeds the weight limit, anyhow. I was no longer comfortable carrying my son for any length of time in a front carry after he was 15lbs; he's about 25 lbs and this *may* help a bit with a hip carry still. You should look for a toddler soft structured carrier (I think most are rated up to 40 lbs), or I think a Storchenwiege wrap could work. Either way, you'll have to shell out around $150-180 new for a carrier that will work for you. The structured carriers are very nice for back carries if you need to carry him for a longer period of time.

I have several of these reels and use them for most of my fishing needs...I would use either the 8 or 10 pound reel...Not much difference on the reel-They are a tough breed.....Good fishing..

My advise is to go to a range where they rent bows. Have him try out a few of those to see what his ideal draw weight would be. He would need something that isn't so light that it's too easy, unless he is just starting to learn. Also he would need something that isn't too hard to pull. But starting out at 40 is a bad idea.

It would be ok one of my sons is 10 yrs old and he's short too and its perfect especially if he's a beginner I hope this help its a very nice product for beginners : )

Since this item costs a considerable amount, I'd go with the 158lb & up. It will take you a while to get used to them and you'll have them for years to come. My son is 6'2" and 147 pounds and wears/plays with his periodically and has no complaints. Plus, his heavier friends can use them without concern of overweight limits and breaking.

I bought my son, 10, a regular size strat and was a bit too big for him. (You could go into a local guitar store and have him try a regular vs 3/4 size.) So we went with the 3/4 strat and kept the regular one which I enjoy playing. He is smaller than your average boy at 10 yrs old. I also had some debate about acoustic vs. electric as well. I'm very glad I went with electric because he really enjoys making different sounds with the guitar and amp. It is really keeping his interest high.

I purchased the heaviest available. I'm still pretty new to the sport but with a few exceptions, it is my understanding that more experienced players will almost always go for the heavier ones.
