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.

It has a 15 inch draw. The string sits 10 inches off the bow and the max draw is 15 inches. My 6 year old an handle it perfectly however he is 4'6 and weighs 83lbs

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..

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)

27" from nock to point, probably 23" draw length. Great beginner set, my 4.5 and 7-year-olds love it!

According to the ad you can set the draw between 13 and 30 inches and between 5 and 70 lbs. Mine was set to 65 lbs and 24". If you don't know what you are doing I suggest taking it to a pro to set the bow up. I did that and he worked on it for a bit to get the draw length right. Take the instructions with you, if it isn't a bow they sell and work on regularly they will need to see them. Great bow, easy to shoot.

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

This bow is perfect for my 13 year old son. I can adjust the draw length and the pull weight in 1 minute to fit my wife. I hunt with a Mathews Creed and think this Edge is almost just as good. I would buy it again.

Joe, Yes it does include all of those items, but no broadheads, just target tips. I sent mine back because the one that you get is not at all like the one pictured. Cams are much smaller and the strings end at the cams instead of at the arms, like the picture shows. I found out from a local dealer that the Fury is a much better bow. I found one at this site for $599 just a minute ago, but not a package. It does come with the cocking sled, but no scope or bolts. http://www.amerioutdoors.com/Horton-cb870.htm?feed=Froogle Scott

The draw weight (less than 14 lbs I think) is much less than an "adult" bow which can be up around 30 lbs or more. This is the force it takes to pull the arrow back fully. I also think it is slighly smaller.

They should be fine ... not an expert... seems like nocks would be compatible with all bow strings.... shaft will crack and splinter into stringy fiber spaghetti if you try to remove imbedded arrows from solid materials (tree stump) if you have a soft target get these ... economical i thought... they do seem to fly true although i have not tested them long range. Pretty wicked looking arrows

No. These arrows are only rated for bows up to 35lbs. In most states, 35lbs is the absolute minimum legal draw weight for any bow intended for hunting. These arrows also have a basic target point pre-installed. They are great for target practice, but there are so many quality customizable hunting arrows out there that it really isn't worth trying to retrofit these for hunting.

You should be fine. I use this bow with my daughter, it is just about 1.5 inches short on draw length for me, but should be appropriate for your son

Yes to first 2 questions. The length should be adjustable to your range. Check with your State as to the minimum draw for hunting with a bow. Florida requires 35 pound draw.
