RE: Recommendations please
Here is the best advice anyone can give. Wrap up a big box with a note in it that says 1 nice hunting bow. Then she takes him shopping to go get it. SO he can get a bow that feels right and he is comfortable with regardless of what company makes it.
I personally shoot Hoyt bows but I am not going to tell you to get him a Hoyt because it may not be the bow that feels the most comfortable for him.
That is my two cents
