I have a 7yo that maybe 70ish percentile height and 50ish weight. He is average to maybe a bit more in strength.

He shots a 25# @ 28" recurve. He doesn't draw near 28". A guess would be closer to 20"

At 9yo I doubt he'll be near 28". I'd guess it'd be rare for a 9yo to draw a 25# @28" bow to spec.

Kill a deer? Possible. I'd not let him try.
