Default time to upgrade bow. but to what?

Well it's time to up grade. She shoots a browning micro adrenaline. It"s a great starter bow, but she wants something with more speed and power. A good all around bow for 3-d and hunting. She is looking for a smooth draw bow. Her draw length is 26.5-27 and a 60lbs bow turned down to around 50lbs these are the bow she has shot so far a "Ross cardiac to hard for her to draw at 50lbs" "bowtech Equalizer very fast but a harsh draw for her" "elite ice in our opinion not a good bow" "Mathews Ignition about the same as her micro adrenaline but smoother but not as fast" " Mathews Drenalin
a 60lbs turned down to 52lbs she pulls it easily it's fast and smooth and felt good but the grip maybe a little big for her hand" "bear Element again in our opinion not a good bow". So what to shoot next? We are going to a martin shop Friday to shoot a p3, then after that I"m not sure. Any suggestions would help a bunch, but for now it looks like the Drenalin is head and shoulders above everything she has shot. thanks for the help

Sounds like a drenalin with a custom grip is what your're after.

I know it's more money (~$60 guessing offhand) but if it's the bow she really wants in the end it will be money well spent.

There are a few guys at AT's classifieds selling them if memory serves correctly.

I have personally setup VERY many Hoyt Trykon Sports for women. They are the ABSOLUTE best womens bow on the market, bar none. I would put that bow up against any other women's bow on the market. Go try to find one for her to shoot, they are simply amazing, can't say enough about them. If I remember correct, they run around $299 bare for just the bow, so they are very reasonably priced.
