My wife just got into archery this winter and she bought a Hoyt RinTec XL. This is a really nice bow for ladies because the poundage is lower and also it is lightweight and very manageable ATA. She is currently shooting 44# and it is very fast. I would highly recommend this bow, especially if you want to use the bow for your kids some day. This is a high quality piece of gear. We checked out several bows, such as the Browning Micro Adrenaline and the rest of the bows just felt a little cheap because they are entry level bows, but this Hoyt is also entry-level, but it is not built like it, it has all of the quality parts of the top end hoyts, just in a smaller package.
