Jim, it is not marketed as a youth gun, but it the AXIS II XP Compact has been redesigned for smaller-framed hunters, so it would be a great gun for a youth. This has a length of pull of 12.75".
Stay safe & have a great day!

Hi Jim and welcome. The Compact is between a true Youth and Full Size model length of pull wise. Cheers and stay safe!

while it is not "officially" a "youth" it would be great for a small stature shooter as it has a 12.75 inch lop see ******Product Specifications
