Default Which bow is right for me???

I' m looking to buy a bow for my wife. She' s pretty small (about 5' 3" ) and I' ve been having trouble finding a good one to fit her. Any suggestions or anywhere I can look to help me out. I' ve looked at a few youth bows, but I' m not sure if that' s the right solution. I' ve never bought for anyone but me so it' s kinda difficult. Could really use some help.

Just one bow comes to mind the Bowtech LadyHawk
With draw weights from 30 to 60#
Draw lenghts from 20 to 26"
AtA 29"
Brace height 7 1/2"
and weights 2.75lb
With 80% let off
With an IBO of 262-270fps. @26" DL 60# using a 300gr arrow.
Now what else could a Lady ask for

the Bowtech rascal may fit her better than the ladyhawk PSE also makes a good youth bow that is priced right too.
you are going to find that the youth bows will be a better choice for petite sized people.
