Default Looking for a "good" yet fairly inexpensive youth bow

Needing some help. I am looking for a youth compound bow. I have heard theGENESIS is a good one. Any others around the same price or maybe even a little cheaper. He's twelve and hoping the fever stays with him yet not wanting to spend a lot of money. Thanks

Are you wanting something that will actually be legal to hunt with.. or just something to fling arrows with?

Darton and Browning both have the best youth bows I feel on the market.

Darton's Ranger comes with 2 sets of modules, the first goes from 17-27" draw length and has lower letoff. The second set has high letoff 22-28". It also goes from 15-45lbs in draw weight. This bow is adjustable enough to grow with him and he can actually hunt with it as well at 45lbs. I feel this may be the best youth bow on the market. I think the package that includes sight, rest, quiver, and 3 arrows retails for $299.

Browning also has the micro midas as well. It is nearly as adjustable as the Darton but I think is a bit cheaper. Both are great bows and you can't go wrong with either as they will both grow with your kid for a long time.
