Default Kid's Archery Gear?

I’m a muzzloader and rifle hunter. I have not yet made the jump to bow hunting because I have not yet made been ready to commit the $$ nor the practice time I think would be necessary to become an ethical bow hunter.

My 8-year-old son just finished his second year of cub scout day camp and his favorite activity was archery. Am thinking that maybe this is an activity we can get into together. I am curious whether there are any decent bows that a little kid could use that can get him into the sport such that he enjoys it for the long term. Of course I don’t expect much and know it will still be years before he gets close to a point where he could hunt. I also don’t want him to get frustrated early.

So my question is, can anyone recommend any brand/type of kids’ bow. Also, if anyone thinks I am maybe jumping the gun and should wait a few years let me know.

Of course this means I need to make some purchases myself as I doubt the same gear would work for both of us.

Thanks,
