Sorry to say this TeeJay, but that is probably one of the most ignorant things to say, not to mention selfish.
Perhaps so, and in the grand scheme of things I agree,but there have been times I candefinitelyempathize with him.
Newguy, takeyour wife to the shop to get fitted with draw weight and draw length, then advise her butlet her make her own choiceonwhat bowshe wants to shoot.A variety of reasons for that. She will be involved from the get go and that will keep her interest level up. She will be able to decide what feels most comfortable for her and we all know we shoot best with a bow that fits well and 'feels right.'
And, if you have made all the decisions and it doesn't work out, then you're in the doghouse. If you let hermake the decisions,you're off the hook because it was all her idea.
