Have you actually located a quality bow which has a 24" DL and can go up to 60#?

If she's got a small frame, I'm betting she's like most women and will struggle enough pulling 50#, let alone more. And yes, the challenge is to be able to do it in the cold, after sitting for hours, experiencing the nervous shaking and shortness of breath she'll be having when that wall-hanger drifts into range.

It's my opinion that a well-placed shot is going to put a whitetail on the ground a lot more times than an almost-well-placed shot will, even if the "almost" has slightly more energy behind it.
