Default Ladies bow

I just got the "hey I'd like to hunt some next season when it's not to cold" from the g/f. I need a budget ladies bow? I'll measure for DL tonight and we'll visit some shops to see what the max she can pull (hopefully 40#). What do you guys recommend I look for? I'm open to used/older bows as well. Thanks in advanced.

I'd say anything she chooses so long as it fits her draw length and Strength. Being as it's your wallet I wouldn't get too concerned about price, especially if you want to keep her.

A couple within reason and decent bang for the buck would be the Martin Cheetah or Leopard. It's going to depend on her draw length. And if you look at these know that they are adjustable 15# down from the marked draw weight. If necessary you can even fudge that a little. And the MPro/mini-MPro is one of the smoother drawing cams.

I'd mention more, but haven't kept up with all the offerings from other companies. It's nearly impossible. I'm sure there will be help soon.

My thought also. You can get 20-29, 30-40 and 40-50 lbs limbs. They also have a grow with your bow program, that when you grow out of your limbs that you are shooting, they will put the stronger limbs on for 50 bucks, if you start out with the smaller limbs! I got my son the 30-40 lbs for Christmas this year, so don't tell him!
Maybe shoot a few different ones and see what feels rightfor her!
