What to do? Looking for a women's bow.........

[finnman]

I have been tossing around the idea of buying my wife a bow. She already loves to hunt, so why not take the next step and get her into it.....I have been doing my on-line research and am looking for a bow in the 3 1/2 pound weight range with an axle to axle of less than 33 inches. I think she can handle 50lb draw just fine, so what do you guys recommend?

[oneezreiter]

I have a parker, not sure of the weight or axle length on it but it was inexpensive, and feels really good to me.  I tried several bows and it seemed to have the most adjustments for draw and weight.  Worth taking a look at.

If I were you I would take her into a good pro shop and let her try some bows out and let her pick whick one feels best to her. Then they should let her shoot it also. There are so many nice bows out there these days, its all ablut preferance. Of course some bows are smoother than others also.

This is an awesome bow and is light and short, would be a nice bow for her. Super smooth also.

[finnman]

I am interested.............My wife is 5'7", I bet her draw will be right at 26-27". Let me know about the Switchback if you don't mind...
