Both my kids (4 and 7) really took an interest in archery this summer watching me prepare for my hunt. I’d like to get them something they can shoot and grow with (maybe just for the 7 year for now). The Youth Diamond Atomic seems to be a common recommendation. Anything else to consider?

If anyone has one laying around their kids grew out of, hit me up.

(P.S. posting this from a gas station while waiting for the elk we found to go to bed so may be a day or two before I see any responses).
 
I will second the Diamond Atomic. My boys both shot one when they were younger. Eventually, we moved up to my oldest shooting a Bear Apprentice. I think that Bear has several good options, as well as the Genesis. I will also say that a nice recurve is a great way to start especially in getting the instinctive shooting started and the simplicity of the bow itself. I wish that I had gone that direction with my boys.

I got a diamond atomic for my 6-year-old and highly recommend it. Light enough to hold, highly adjustable draw weight, can be shot with fingers or a release, and it has enough zip to get the job done.
 
I started out at that age with a pretty high quality traditional bow made by Bear Archery. I believe the model is the Bear Cub. They show up on EBAY.
 
My boys 4 and 6 like to shoot. They’re shooting instinctively with old fiberglass bows found at auction/garage sales. I also made a couple long bows out of ash strips for them, they enjoy them as well.
