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 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.

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.

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.

I haven't tried anything less than 3 pound pull. consider it like a scale that has a marker that marks the maximum effort for the trigger to trip. usualy do best out of 3 in case of operator error. sometime I might pull to hard and get a heavier reading depending on how supported I have the weapon

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.

My 19mth old is 30lb & he still loves it. He wants to use the "big boy" swing more...so that's our only issue w/ him not using it as much as he used to.

I had bought it for my 10 year old son. He is now 12 and is over 160lbs and he still plays on it :)

I think it is a good guitar for a 10yr old. If the interest fades you're not out a lot. My son likes his and the sound is really nice.

I would recommend you start 10 year olds with the Green xx light or yellow x light versions. But for someone that age you may want to consider or FULL RANGE set. It is inexpensively priced and you get a Yellow, Blue, Red and Black, so he/she can move progressively through heavier resistance and have extra units for both hands, and Mom or Dad can use the harder ones to set a good example. There may be imitators, so you want Weiss Medical! Thanks.

I actually bought my first set in 2004 the classic set and I bought the bar just to take a chance I planned on buying a new set of dumbbells but the bar actually worked with my old set which surprised me I've been in the business for over 30 years and I've never been so happy with anything as I am with powerblocks products they really take a beating I ordered the ez curl bar used from amazon to save 12 bucks and it looks like it was never used I hope this helps you just remember they only make the bars for the classic and urethane sets

Which ever one he wants the most! Some kids have a harder time and get frustrated putting them together. Start with a set that cost around 20 bucks before you by him something more expensive and more complicated. Let him develope his talent instead of throwing something overwhelming at him. Have fun!

I really depends on your 10 year old. It is a big machine but little 8 year old daughter has ridden it in the yard very slowly. I wouldn't let her hit any trails with it. Hope this helps..

The set is meant for younger players. It is scaled down. At his age he really needs a full size set.

I believe the magformer set is great for all ages. My 4 and 2 year olds love them. I even like to build things with them my self. Very entertaining and educational. I had to buy 2 sets to build more complex structures.

Ours son is 10 years old and he has enjoyed this set. They offer a free online lessons program, but he has not done anything with that yet.

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.
