Also if he decides that bow hunting is not for him then the bow has already taken the depreciation for re-sale.

I would then take the bow to Jimbows and purchase the arrows there and pay them for a couple hours service ($100), to fit the bow to your son and give him some basic shooting lessons.
You will be well within your $700 budget. |
So this is a decent package then? I want to get him a good set up but I also don't think he needs a super duper top of the line bow yet either. I thought we'd go mid range for now. When we looked through Cabelas, I thought we could get a pretty good one for 700 bucks, give or take, less arrows and release. Your logic here sounds right.
