She needs to test drive some different bows and see what feels best to her. Could be a Hoyt, could be Bowtech, could be.... I do like my Equalizer, however.

Buy used........ More bang for your buck. Go to a Pro Shop that will let you shoot the used bows and see what fits her. Good luck and great job getting another shooter in the sport.

The wife was out shooting her new Equalizer this afternoon and all both of us could say was wow! What a nice handling and shooting bow for anyone with a shorter draw length.
Doesn't look like a sissy bow either! A lot of the bows that women and smaller guys or youths have to get either look 10 years out of date or like a toy. Not with the Equalizer though.
If a new 2007 or 2008 is a little steep, try to find an '06 for her. We got a real deal on a new in the box '06. Now she has a real bow!

I shoot a Parker-Hunter Mag. I reserched bows for 6 months before I purchased one. I narrowed it down to a a few and then went to the local shop to "test drive". For me the Parker worked the best. A few of my friends also have Parkers and they swear by them.
