My wife shoots a Hoyt Rintec XL andit has been a great bow for her. She is thinking about upgrading to an Equalizer or a Tribute just to get a bow with much more speed. The Rintec has been very good though because of the adjustability in draw length and poundage. She was a new archer when we got it, and it took a bit to get her draw length just right and she has steadily going up in poundage. I would start her at a low poundage, like 30#, even if she can pull more. With the low weight, she will be able to shoot longer and hold at full draw easier.
