You made an excellent choice! Parker is a great bow! The "Grow with Parker Program" is great... you can literally keep him shooting that bow through all of his growing years, and Parker will switch out the cams for you! My wife shoots a Parker Micro Phoenix... she shot them all, Mathews, Hoyt, and when she picked up the Micro Phoenix she was sold! They are a great bow, especially for the growing or smaller framed shooters! Your son will love it!
