Daughter has me looking for a bow. She is 24 but not really big enough for an adult bow yet. I am wanting something used (Cheap $150 or so) if anybody has anything laying around they would sell. Needs to be in between a youth and adult bow but still enough to kill a deer. Any suggestions what i need to be looking for?

I would start out by taking her to a good pro shop and look around. Also, get the tech to measure her for draw length and see what kind of poundage she can pull. If you are going to buy a used bow, you will need to know these things in advance.

Great advise,buying her a bow that doesn't fit her,would only be a waste of money, and frustrate her.Once her have here draw length you might check the classified ads on Archery Talk.com
I don't know how much bow you can get for $150 tho.

Hmmm found the Parker at Gander Mt. online for $279.99. 18 to 28 inches and 40 to 60 lbs. What is the minimum pull to be legal? Isn't it 60 lbs? I ain't buying it for her I am just making recommendations. She has money burning a hole in her pocket. But I guess there are worse things for her to take up lol.

Just remember she'll need fixed blades at low draw weights.

Yea I have plenty of Muzzys so she can have a few to hunt with. I guess she is really serious she is signed up for the hunter safety course. Started naming off all the other stuff she needs and she is looking for it all. Dang guess I will have to get my bow restrung. Guess I shoulda made her go to the range and show her a 270 don't kick that much!

Mathews is making a new inexpensive bow, it's mission by Mathews and they have draw lengths for anyone on that bow also it has all the new technology and seems to be very accurate, you can also find a pse vendetta for a very good price and they are smaller and lightweight and have any draw length or weight you could ask for.
