RE: Forgiving bow for wife?
After watching our sons grow up as archers, my wife finally asked if I'd get her a bow. Fittingly, I got her a Diamond for Christmas - The Edge. It's an amazing bow, I'd recommend it for any woman. The speed is very impressive, even at only 35#. And accurate, and forgiving - so much so, that she insists I take her to the indoor range twice a week to feed her new-found habit, a habit that's fueled by obvious success.
Her "first target" is stuck to the side of the fridge: once the sight was set, she put 9 shots in the 3" white and 25 total in a 6" circle - from 20 yards.
I was so impressed that I promptly sold my Mathews Switchback XT and bought myself a Marquis.
