RE: Women hunting, less recoil options???
Welcome to the forum. Its good to have you here.
Since you're hunting deer, bow bender gave you some good advise. A 200 grain Shockwave on 80 grains of powder. My friend's little kid who was eleven was shooting my Knight Wolverine LK-II with 80 grains of powder and a 240 grain XTP and he was having no problems what so ever.. other then he could not swab and load faster. That kid was having the time of his life. And that would be an excellent deer load as well.
