I wouldn't spend much on a starter bow for a 6 yo since you will probably have to upgrade pretty soon.

diamond edge. you can buy new limbs for it as his draw weight increases.

Martin just came out with a youth bow, looks really nice, and has a wide range of draw weight and length. I just looked at it, its called a martin Tiger. Check it out!

For a 6 year old , that will be tuff. they need somthing light enough to pull back . The Genesis is adjustable and might work for him

For a 6 year old I don't suggest anything expensive. They won't take care of it any better than any toy. It will get dropped etc. Look for very light bows. I have seen these at several sporting goods stores as well as walmart etc. Just something that will fling and arrow untill they get older.

If you can wait look at yard sales this spring. I usualy see a few every once in a while.
