I have a nine year old son who wants to shoot a bow like his daddy. Does anyone here have any recommendations for a youth compound bow that would be good to start him off with? Thanks!

I bought the Hoyt Ruckus Jr for my 7 y/o. It has a max of 29 lbs so that may not be good for yours. The Hoyt Ignite is probably what he will graduate to

Diamond Infinite Edge... 5-70lb draw, fully adjustable draw length.

However, if you don't want to spend a lot of cash until you know he'll stick with it consider the Bear Scout. I have two sons, a lefty and righty so I think Santa is bringing two of the Scouts. Now if they stick with Archery, and the bow doesn't end up in a pile with all their other "I wanna" stuff, then I'll invest in a quality bow later.

What ever brand or style of bow that is chosen, choose a lower draw weight. As the young archer progresses, age wise and strength, this draw weight can gradually be increased. Check out a Pro Shop as they have knowledgeable staff and some shops even have a small archery range indoors or out to help the young archer. Too heavy of a draw weight for anyone, where they are basically fighting to get a bow to full draw can: 1)damage muscles or tendons, 2)cause a person who could enjoy archery to either give up all together or shoot less than what they had hoped for. Best of luck.
