My daughter is getting interested in archery and is shooting at a local sportsman’s club weekly clinic. She is enjoying it and wants to get her own bow. Any suggestions and also what are the best websites or places to find used youth bows. I would assume they cycle thru the market given kids grow out of them and level up.

Every company has a grow with me bow
Elite is the Basin & Ember
Diamond is the Prism & infinity
Pick one in your price range & let her shoot it at a good shop, where they can set it up for her
This ^ I took my 12 year old to Lancaster Archery and let he and a store associate do their thing, he picked his bow out, customized it, and is shooting very well. It's adjustable and should grow with him until he graduates high school. That said, I'd key in on pick your price range .... I didn't, and after the thing was all tricked out I was in over $1k. That said you can find an adjustable bow for your daughter at any price point.

Update. Buckg2 gave me a great deal on a youth bow set up. Brought it home after work and got the draw length and weight adjusted just prior to her weekly shoot. She never used a release or peep site before and took a few minutes to get it to click. Then after a few rounds she was grouping good and we adjusted the site. By the end of the night she was living in the red and yellow rings at 10 yds. She was very excited.
