I went through all of this last december and January with my wife (5 foot 7 inches tall, 130 lbs). We tried the BowTech LadyHawk. I like bowtech but that bow didn't work out for her. I think maybe the axle to axle length made the bow a bit unforgiving. After 8 weeks of inconsistency I broke down and bought her a Parker Challenger. She shoots great now and has a ton of confidence. The bow is smoother and a lot quieter.
I feel confident that she can make a clean kill when we go into the woods.
Consequently, I have a 25 inch draw ladyhawk for sale with 40 lb limbs on it if someone's just got to have one.
