I have a NEF 243 and took a nice doe with it this year. It really doesnt kick at all,,, honestly! Just let her try a buddies on a practice day and see how she does. I think it would be just fine for her. I love my NEF 243, it is so versatile! A poor mans T/C encore.
Now, where is zrex when your talking about 243,,,,,,,,
