Can’t help as I’m new to archery but I was in the same boat last week. My 8 year daughter had been asking me to buy her one. Having zero knowledge on the topic myself, I decided to go to a local archery range. Counter guy was super helpful and referred me a LGS that has a coach with a shooting team. Dude walked me through the whole process understanding our needs. We ended up with a Mission Radix which is adjustable allowing my daughter to “grow” with it. Spent about 550 for a complete setup ( bow,sight,arrows etc). Daughter did great at her first lesson.
