Lady Bow

Hey folks need a little help here. My wife is wanting to start bow hunting with me and i'm not sure which direction to go for her a bow.I've gotten her measured with the draw and draw weight,26" @45-50lbs,any ideas? Been looking at the Diamond and Bowtechs.

Whoever you buy it through should set it up for your wife for no additional cost, unless you add anything to it of course. Tell here Congrats on a new addiction ;) Archery is FUN!!!; ▶ Reply to This

I live in NJ and went to a local archery shop. The owner set me up with a youth Hoyt. I am in my second year of using it and I love it. I killed 2 deer with it last year. It has the lower draw length and weight. I am at the top weight range with it right now. He also gave me lessons and set the bow up specifically for me with the extras needed. All of this cost me less than $500.00

I love the bow, but now am thinking about what to buy for next year and buying a crossbow for NJ. Anyway hope this helps.

It has adjustable draw length and weight. And it is affordable. It comes with the quiver, whisker biscuit and stabilizer. We lucked out and got it for about $300. Best thing I can recommend is take her to the archery shop and let her try the different ones out and find the one she likes best.; ▶ Reply to This
