check the www.women-outdoors.com/traditional classifieds. You might find something on the hunting.net classifieds also but with over 800 recurves alone on the first site, I think you'll have better odds there.

I took my wife to my old stomping grounds. She was thinking about starting, she ended up picking out a bow, release, arrows, rest, site, and quiver on the spot. It was a compound, a lil xi prodigy. But hey she's atleast started in the right direction.

Later on I picked up a timberspirit one piece recurve for her. Man its a beauty. She's shot it less times then I have fingers on one hand!

As much as she wants to be a part of it, she doesnt honestly. I think she did it to make me happy. I do believe she enjoyed it and got pretty dang good with the compound. Took the ibep class and passed it first time go, a lot more then I can say for most of the other folks who take it. (almost a 50% failure rate for first timers). Its a shame I dont push her as hard as I do some guys but I've realized with some old girlfriends either they are going to or they aint. Its the guys who dabble in it that can get me going. They ask for this and that, help here and help there, and then not touch a bow for 6 months at a time. I should know better [>:]

At that kind of weight, it wouldnt be to hard to make one! Get the boys involved and all, it could be a blast. Ya have a few months coming up till the big day (mothers day may 9th) It should be enough time to secure what little materials you'll need and have it finished. Say an all hickory or hickory back hickory, or hickory backed cedar! It has some great potential and some huge browny points all the way around
