Bowtech came out with a new bow that is specifically for women and others of short draw length called the " lady hawk." It is the first bow that I have seen built for youth/women that is on par with the better men' s bows.

It is light (under 3 lbs), forgiving (over 7" brace height) and fast for a short bow (IBO around 280). It retails for around $475 depending on dealer. It is also very sharp looking if that matters.

Mrs. bowtex will have one when her birthday rolls around in March.
