Default Bow for the GF

Hey everyone im looking to get my girlfriend a bow but I have no clue what I could get. She's like 5'1" and probably has to have a pretty low draw weight. If any of you have any ideas then please let me know. Thanks!

I got mine a Browning Micro adrenaline, It's a pretty decent shooting little bow.

I want to say it's a Parker Buckshot or Hunter or something. Picked it up used/like new for $125. It'll miss deer with the best of 'em.

I like the Parker Challenger or Sidekick. As she gets better and is able to draw more weight you can send in the limbs and they'll send you heavier ones for next to nothing. It's a better program for youths, but still a good deal for anyone just getting involved in Archery.

Otherwise I would give a second nod to the Micro Adrenaline. Very adjustable and very shooter friendly for the inexperieced archer.

edit see above post for the Sidekick
