Thanks all for sharing your thoughts and knowledge. Also, if you still have other suggestions as far as specific bows go, let me know.
27-28 is a huge difference. Have her measured exactly or measure her wing span and use this calculator and I usually subtract 1/2 inch if using a d-loop for shooting and all the people I have measured using it have always fit great.
