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#.

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..

To be honest, the rod is a fine rod to learn on. The reel will work for a few hours, but I suggest having another one ready to go right from the start. I also suggest that you buy some weight forward line, as the line it comes with is balanced and a little more difficult to cast. But, other than that it is a fine rod to learn on, and, after I put on a decent reel and decent weight forward line, the rod is extremely easy to use, and my four year old casts with it pretty well.

This bow I bought for my daughter, it's easy for her to pull back and she's ten. I suggest for you to get a big bow. Good luck.

My ten year old is pretty tall for her age...probably 5-2 and she still uses them, but she does have to bed her knees. The set looks just as good today as it did when I installed it years ago :)

Probably as good as any. We regularly pull 3 people (2 kids and an adult). Probably close to 400 lbs. Obviously 3 of your crew would not work. Maybe two. Or buy two and do singles and let them battle.

Frank, It is absolutely a good guitar for a 10 years old with this price. When I bought this guitar, my son was also 10 years old. This guitar was recommended by his guitar's instructor when my son started the lesson.Hope that your boy/girl would enjoy it.

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 saw a vsl3 Junior product sold here on Amazon that you might consider. It's listed for ages 2 and up. VSL#3 Junior (30 Pack)

Check the lb/pull or draw weight, the one I have is the Covert cx2- it has a 200 lb pull. I believe there are sister models with a little less-185 or 165. Hope that helps.

my son is 2 years old and loves it for 10 year old I recommend you probably go up to somewhere right around 250 maybe. most four wheelers come with the throttle control where he can open it wide open. Its a screw behind the throttle.

A 25lb. pull should be fine for a kid over 9 or so. Perhaps he is trying to pull it back too far (his index finger should be at the side of his mouth). Also, maybe he is over-doing the shooting session. 36 shots per session is plenty.

I would recommend the jr as it definitely has cards he can figure out, and cards that will challenge him. Once he's mastered them all you can buy more difficult cards (like those in the regular set) for a couple of bucks to use with the junior pieces. That's what we did.

Hi. I would get one of these for his birthday. Okuma Avenger ABF Graphite Bait Feeder Reel I bought the 20 which I use when we go to the states and I can get fishing. However, maybe one of the bigger ones would be better for him, the 30 or 40. Apparently they are prone to corrosion, so make sure it is well washed after use, especially if he uses it in salt water. Good luck, Lindsay (from the UK)

Did your CKCS like the toy? I was buying one as a gift for an almost 19lb CKCS (under 1 yr), and wanted to know if this was a good choice...Thanks!

The radio seems to be quite durable. We had no trouble using them in some ruggedHunting conditions. However, we never dropped one on a very hard surface, just leaf covered ground.10 year olds would definitely be rougher, so you should at least give them some cautioned warning on their use.They are designed to take some abuse and should hold up better than the cheaper sets.Good luck
