definitely doable at that price point - but you’ll be getting a low end setup.

I agree with the suggestion of Jim Bows. I’m not sure where you’re located, but they’re knowledge, customer service and options are the best out there. In Calgary, anyway.
I would suggest that $700 would be about a 1/2 way point on budget; you may try it and have to buy 2 setups.....

And yes, I agree with Sage that $700 is on the low side, but totally doable as well. Look into their used selection once your son is fitted; there may be something there that will work very well for him and come in well under budget. Things to not skimp on would be rest and sight.

AND!!!!! Be sure that before leaving the shop KNOW HOW TO CHECK THE ARROWS after shooting! Carbon, carbon/aluminum, aluminum.... They all have different ways to check for cracks & damage. Safety first and never fire a damaged arrow!
