Bow recommendation for the wife

Bow recommendation for the wife - 08/30/09 02:31 AM

The wife wants to give Archery a shot. I measured her draw length to be around 27" (68"/2.5 = 27.2) I would like to find something that is adjustable from 26"-28" just to make sure. Also looking for something adjustable from ~30-45lbs.
So what would you guys recommend for a beginner on a budget.

LS,

Browning makes a line of youth/female bows that have alots of adjustability in poundage and draw length. If she doesn't take to it, it will resale for many other archers sizes.

Alpine Archery also have alot of choices for youth and female. They are usually priced a litle cheaper than most makes and they have the same top of the line quality as the big names....

Longshot, not trying to be rude or a smarta$$ but one thing to consider with women shooters is breast size. I have seen larger breast give them problems with the release. Once again, not trying to be smart, just an observation from years past.

If you want a good bow for the money, PSE has some great bows for women/kids. Bought my wife one a few years ago. She had never bow hunted before, after shooting that summer I filmed her on he first bow hunt ever. She shot a 110lb. doe at 12 yds.

If that's the case just get whatever this girl is shooting.
