What kind of bow for a girl
« on: July 09, 2012, 06:30:58 PM »
Hey, im looking at getting my girlfriend a bow under 50lbs preferably around 40lbs for deer. She cant pull back my old Parker bow setup at 50lbs. So I was wondering what would be a good bow for her. Thanks!

Diamond Razors Edge

My default answer for anyone looking for a first time bow due to it's customizability.  Is that even a word?  The real answer would be to take her to a good bow shop and let her shoot and choose

The PSE Chaos 1 is a awesome womans bow and the price is very good one it!

another great one is the mission craze. it's adjustable in draw weight from 30 - 70 lbs. and draw length 19 - 29 inches

Yeah, I was looking at the Diamonds today. I was pretty convinced that they would be a good starter bow for her. Thanks for the quick reply!

I got the Razors Edge for my son.  He's 10 and right now he has it set at 21" and 27lbs.  It will go up as he grows.  If she can go shoot a few and choose her favorite, that's the way to go.  If you're buying it blind, first, don't.  Second, if you do, the Razors Edge is the way to go because it is guaranteed to fit.

Diamond Razor Edge is a pretty good deal.  Bought one for my wife in camo (not pink - her choice) for Christmas last year as she said she wanted to learn to shoot on her own bow - surprised the heck out of me.  Got it through Hunter's Friend online along with the "Ready To Hunt" package; some of the local shops may carry them as well.

M-ray seems to be able to shoot his pretty well, you might send him a PM and see what he is shooting. :rolleyes:

Lucky Shot in Chehalis has them.  Or at least they did in Feb.

The old lady shoots a Passion all decked out with pink for breast cancer awareness!  Also has flowers on it. Pretty expensive but she shoots it very well! Its her second bow and she is well seasoned with archery hunting now! It took some time though.

Have you shot a passion? My god does that thing have a lot of hand shock!! Hard to beat a razors edge for a good starter bow. She will increase her draw weight faster than you think. My wife is tiny. Sub 5' and 105lbs. I had to put 60lb limbs on her Martin leopard. Came with 50 lb that were backed all the way out when she started. I'd start with the edge and let her shoot until she works up her poundage and then if she decides she wants a higher end bow. She will have a lot better idea of what she wants.
