Default Bow for wife?

My wife wants to shoot bow and hunt with me next season, she has never shot a bow before andI want to get her a bow pretty soon here so she has plenty of time to practice before next season. Any advice on what bows to look into? I have been trying to find a used bow because I really dont have an extra 500 bucks laying around right now. She has a 27" draw and can only pull a max of 40 pounds...most of the youth style bows we have looked at only go up to 26" draw. Any insight would be greatly appreciated....Thanks

bullrider and sevenmag nailed it. The edge would be a great option for her.

Well I think I will seriously look into the Edge...I currently shoot a Black Ice and I love it so I am sure the Edge would be good too...

I got a Bowtech Miranda for my wife a few years ago. It is a great bow, she took her first bull elk 5x6 with it this year at 30 yards. She is shooting ~43#s' She has the 40-50# model. I paid ~$300.00 for it. I just found this one, check it out.
