I bought my wife a PSE Nova package for around $300. Nice, quiet shooting starter bow.

I bought the Diamond Edge pakage for my son. You probably would be fine with the 40-50 lbs limbs. I got him the 30-40 lbs limbs and think he should be fine @ 30lbs DW. Probably can go a little under the DW if needed too. I think the Bow looks great, had to get back in box to get it wrapped...HO Ho ho!
Good luck!

Dang, I misread this. I thought he was trading a bow for a wife also. Thought I was gonna get a bow cheap. Oh, well, the search goes on.

second pic! Haven't had a chance to shoot it, but seems to be highly talked about!

And I thought I was going to get a new bow - now what am I going to do with the wife?

look at the browning micro adrenaline....great price great bow for kids, woman...the thing wieght under 3lbs and if your draw is 28 or under(oryoucan make28inches work for youit makes a great compound to stalk hunt with.

Martin archery makes a good short draw/youth/ladies bow at a low price and so does Darton

these are my picks
