Wanting to know about bows again
 

Sorry to ask again guys, but could you tell me which compound hunting bow would be best suited for a small female like me? I think i may be better going for a youth bow? I aint that strong to be honest, I want the bow to last a lifetime and be of good quality for hunting and recreational use for 3D shooting too :D

Im looking to spend in the $400-$500 range, hopefully i can get some things thrown in with the price too.

I seen this, is it any good?

Ive heard nothing but good things about the edge. It would probably be a good choice

Forget about having a bow for a lifetime. You will get stronger. Check out Parker bows. I would suggest the Challenger. You can have them switch out the limbs when you get stronger for $50. I also like the Challenger better than the Edge because it is a Single cam bow.

If you ever come to UK , be sure to visit Scotland ( Glen Coe ) . The Red deer are huge and look so Majestic , The Stags in the Glen are the Largest i've seen . If your lucky enough to stay at the Kings house in Glen Coe , you will even get chance to feed the does at night . They will feed from your hand outside the hotel and then in the day you can go spying the Red Deer down the Glen Etive valley across the road .

A friend of mine at work bought her a youth bow brand name was Jennings and she like her bow alot and I think she could change the limbs on hers if she wanted to pull more poundage later on!What ever brand you choose be sure to try several out and get one your the most comfortable shooting with and make sure you get the correct draw length.You'll have to post some pictures of your hunting area Remington Girl.....sounds like you have agreat place to hunt.

RE: Wanting to know about bows again
 

I'll second that!

Who makes the best bow for small women with not alot of strength? My budget is $450 :)

RE: Wanting to know about bows again
 

My wife and daughter both shoot the Diamond Edge. It is as smooth as any bow out there.

I would reccomend the 30-40 lb. Model with CX Terminator Jr's. At a 24" Draw Length you will get speeds around 260 with an 85 gr. tip.

Fletch them with the mini blazers and you can't go wrong.

This bow package, rest, sights and quiver run around $300. All you need is a small stabilizer, arrows and a release and you are good to go......

I've always shot Parkers, they make great bows and are quite affordable. The customer service I've had with them was good the few times I had questions for them. And the fact that you can change out the limbs on the Challenger is a big plus, I'm actually looking at getting one for my girlfriend.:)

RE: Wanting to know about bows again
 

I also like the Parker bows and the customer service that goes with them. My question would be what is available from bow shops in your country? There are a lot of good bows out there but none are worth a darn if they don't get set up properly. When talking about changing limbs and things, it's no advantage if you have to wait 6 months for parts or they cost an arm and a leg to get them.It's also difficult to say you'll like this bow and not that one, because every one is different. The ONLY good way to choose a bow is to get out and shoot them to see what works best for you. Write down the bows recommended here and go see what ones you can get your hands on to test shoot. Shoot as many different bows as you can before making your decision. With all bows set at a specific draw weight, find the bow that feels the easiest to draw and easiest to hold your draw. Finding the most comfortable bow is more important than what name is on it.

Unfortunately i cant get a hold of bows here as they need to be bought in the US, bowhunting is illegal here. I'd mostly be bowhunting in the US. Thats what makes it hard for me.

Are parker the best make?
