Re: Need bow for youth
308 short series are great. Although they don't weigh any less than a regular micro.
But after the youth grows a bit you can easily replace the short stock with e regular sized micro stock and keep on hunting

See if you can find a used vixen 2 or sapphire that would be my choices or the 308 also.
The vixen would be the easiest to cock for a kid.

Yep all 3 of those you mentioned are the only models I'm aware of that have a shorter LOP for a kid (other than the Assassin adjustable stock).longbow joe wrote: ↑Fri Oct 16, 2020 9:41 pmSee if you can find a used vixen 2 or sapphire that would be my choices or the 308 also.

308 Short would be too hard for most kids to rope cock though.
How big of a youth hunter are we talking about though? The regular LOP on the micro, bulldog, or matrix stocks may be ok and with room to grown into.

Re: Need bow for youth
I have a Cub and it seems like that model would be good as well.
However, Im not sure they make them anymore.

I guess they do still make the Matrix Cub as I have found a few on the internet.
Hope that helps.
Good luck.

Re: Need bow for youth
Thanks all. I’m leaning towards the 308 but my son is 10 so I might have to be the one cocking it for him but that is ok for me.

Re: Need bow for youth
You can always add the butt stock extender to the 308 Short stock later on too. Or replace it with a regular Micro stock like Janesy said. Just have to drill an tap a couple different 10-32 holes in the rail to do that. Easy.HorizontalArchr wrote: ↑Sat Oct 17, 2020 12:50 pmThanks all.

Oh yeah I forgot about the matrix cub. They're not in production anymore as far as I know, but that's probably new old stock you're seeing.

Re: Need bow for youth
If you're doing the cocking I'd go with a Micro 335 or a Micro 315. My grandsons have killed several deer with the Micro 335's sitting on a Caldwell Dead Shot Field Pod

They grow fast , if it was me I would look at the 340 Mag , you can't beat the price and it will serve him for a long while.
