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

[JBar]

Can't go wrong with the Hyperlite or DXT. Kobalt is a sweet little bow also.

[Hoytstaffshooter83]

That Kobalt was my pick from Hoyt, sweet bow, just a crap load of cash!!!! I can't beleive how much new bows are these days! I know, you get what you pay for..........

Thats exactly right, there is a reason its spendy and no its not the name.. I put a sts on my exs and that little thing was smooth as any bow and quiet as could be... the 300 dollar bows dont come close..

You Hoyt guys what do you think of the Rintec? It came out in '05, a nice split limb youth/womens bow 40-50lb. draw, 33" axle to axle, 2 3/4 pounds, and at 50lbs. with a 250 gr. arrow is shooting 270fps. I found one with rest, sights and a few carbons for $275. Is it worth that?

[Hoytstaffshooter83]

thats a good deal

[colockumelk]

diamond razor edge, it is adjustable from 30-67 lbs., dl is ridiculous also adjustable from like 20"-29" , also 7" or 7.5" BH

 

I looked at the Hoyt Kobalt and it is a really nice bow but if someone is just starting out I wound't spend that much money.  What if they lose interest, or don't like it? That's alot of cash.  My wife shot the Kobalt (loved it) and she also shot the Diamond Razor Edge.  It's very versatile like hoytem just posted and it's smooth, low vibration and very light.  She really loved it.  It's an excellant starter bow.  If your wife decides she really likes it then I'd get her the Hoyt Kobalt. 

The Kobalt is nice but a bare bones bow is like $575.  Where the Diamond Razor Edge comes as a fully loaded package for $329.99  So needless to say that is what I will be buying my wife for our anniversary.  She'll finally be getting a diamond for our anniversary just not the kind she figured on.

My wife just shot the Parker Sidekick. And loved it so now it's between the Diamond Razor Edge or the Parker Sidekick.  On Sunday she'll shoot them side by side and make the final decision.  My question is this.  Has anyone had a Parker and did you like them?  The price is basically the same. 

The Razor Edge is $329 for the kit.
The Parker Sidekick is $349 for a kit.

Okay, I am close to a solution! I have been out to Rainier Archery and looked at a lot of bows, as well as wasted a lot of time at work on the web researching bows of all sorts, I got the guy with Hoyt Rintec down to $240 for the bow with a whisker bisquit, dusk devil sight, 10 carbon Gold Tips and Hoyt 5 arrow quiver. The pictures show it to be in excellent condition!!! With a good release, maybe a new sight, broadheads, more arrows.......I will be in it less than a new Kobalt with no accessories!!!!!!!!
It sounds like a deal to me! The wife is excited to archery hunt deer this year too!!! I think I will pick it up Sat.

Trykon sport, go see Doug at great northwest on shaw rd in Puyallup.

   Hardtop is right any Hoyt bow would make a great womans bow.

[colockumelk]

I might be able to afford a Hoyt or a Bowtech for her after all.  There are some really cheap bows on Ebay.  Speaking of which does anyone know of any other types of websites like ebay that have bows for sale?

[NWWABOWHNTR]

I have bought 2 Razor Edges for my kids,  a pink one (just ordered it from Roger at Wilderness) and a camo one we have had for a while now.  Awesome bows,  with the 30# limbs it is adjustable from 15 -30 #'s and DL is adjustable from 19-29.  I also have the 60 # limbs which are adjustable from 30-60.... talk about a bow that can last through their next ten years.  at 60#'s and 29" it's  308 FPS.  Perfect bow for youth or women. 

[colockumelk]

Nice that's good to hear.  I shot it the other day as well and felt pretty good for a cheaper bow.  That will probably be the one she gets.  The Parker Sidekick was a little bit rougher on the draw cycle and also had alot more vibe and torgue on the shot.  Diamond makes good bows so I'm sure that these are durable as well. 

[finnman]

Well here is what she will shoot, lets hope it gets the job done! Next will be my first trail cam to stick out on the ranch to document some big bucks!!

Thats a nice little set up Finn.
