I'd let him shoot a couple different bows, and see how he does. Find out the pounds of pull he is comfortable with (40lb min in Utah to hunt), and his draw length, then look on ebay, or at the local pawn shops for a bow that is all ready set up. You can usually pick one up for about $250, whereas a new bow, even a low end bow, can run you $400+ to get it all set up with sights, arrows, rest, release, quiver, peep, and any other gadgets you want to put on. If you live up north, try Wilde Arrow (546-0962) in Layton. Brent is a very knowledgable man, and is always willing to help out a new archer. Good luck, and get him shooting soon! Practice, practice, PRACTICE.
