I did not attend the Puyallup Sportsman's Show, but I understand that they had a youth bow range set up. According to the floorplan on the website, It appears that they will have the same at the Evergreen Show in Monroe next month (Feb 21-24). They might get to try some different bows and you might get a good idea of options, good and bad. I am assuming that there will be some knowledgeable help there also (with products to sell or recommend).
