kids sized crossbows
had my grandsons out this past weekend playing with my exomax
needless to say it was a bit on the heavy side for them.
what would be a half decent xbow for kids around the 12 years of age range?

I think BJ has the better bow. I bought a Flex and I have to say that it is loud enough to cause the shooter (esp a young one) to develop a flinch. No kidding. You cannot believe how loud it is! It is louder than an Exomax using FFF and shooting firecrackers in a bathroom! Every possible way of making noise is on the bow. I have to recommend against the Flex, sorry Darrel!
Some people just like stepping on rakes
I have also been looking for a crossbow for my son. He's small for his age (will be 8 in a couple weeks) and the issue isn't draw weight, it's length of pull & physical weight. With a full length stock (like my Phoenix) there's no way he can shoulder it and shoot. Even with a monopod or bipod it's just too much!
I can find very little selection of crossbows with an adjustable length of pull. The Barnett RC-150 is one of the best choices I've located so far. The local dealer said he would sell me one at cost if I wanted to buy one for my son. I don't want to spend a fortune for a crossbow that will probably be replaced in a couple years, so I'll probably end up with the Barnett.

I could, but it seems like an expensive way to go. The stock would soon be too short and then i would have to buy another. With the Barnett the stock fits great now with the butt pad completely removed. As he grows I could replace the pad and then adjust it for more length. When he is able to shoot a full length stock I can sell it and get him an Excalibur.
