Parker Sidekick. Reasonably priced, and can last kids till late teens or adulthood. Draw is adjustable from 18-28", and they make 20-40lb and 40-60lb limbs. Used to swap the limbs for nearly free when your kid is ready to move up. Factory strings suck, a good set made it SIGNIFICANTLY faster and easier to tune and keep tuned.
And it's no junk toy bow. My wife has a short draw so took my sons when he didn't want it anymore. She's killed two coues and a mulie with it.

I got one for my son when he was about 13. However, I thought my limbs were 30-40 lbs. then upgraded to 40-50 lbs. I might be wrong about that. He used the first set of limbs for a couple of years, along with adjusting the draw length. Then switched to the heavier limbs for a year or two until he grew out of it. Then I bought him a used Mathews. I sold it to a guy that works for me and he ran it through his kid's growing years too. That was a good little bow. My son took a couple of deer with it.
