I E-bayed a lot for my wifes bow.

It took me 3 bows to find one that met what she needed.
I bought a Golden Eagle Evolution dual cam first, thinking she is strong and could pull 50# with the limbs backed off. WRONG!!! The bow was also too long ATA. NO sweat, I LOVE IT

Next a PSE Silverhawk. Paid $50. It is definitely a $50 bow and no more!!! Cheap POS. Says made in Taiwan right on it. Pure junk! Only thing good about it, she could draw it back without a hitch.

OK, 2 bows and no luck. I' m not going to get in a hurry to find her something. A month later I saw a bow on Ebay. Buck Tomcat, with dual Hatchet cams. Never heard of it.

I bid on it anyway, and won the auction. The bow arrived in sad shape. It was set at 35# and the limb bolts were so loose the limbs wobbled.

One of the limb bolts was stripped, and the cable guard bent and full of string wax.
I took the bow completely apart. fixed everything and redid the peep lower on the string and got the cams in time. set it at 43#

The ATA is short. This is essential for big chestwed women, so those puppies don' t get slapped and bruised.

This bow once setup and maintained, is on hell of a bow. It scoots that arrow pretty darn good. Fast for 26" draw at 43#


So the moral of the story... Women are hard to fit a bow too. Make sure the ATA length fits her. Make sure the draw length is a tad short. If she slaps her arm, it will take the fun out of it!!! Make sure she can draw it back comfortable and easy, without sky drawing. 40# seems to be the mark for a woman' s bow.
