Need a bow for the wife.
I just say bearbowhunter's thread about a bow for his girlfriend and I didnt want to jack his ghread so I thought Id start my own.
Ive been taking so many trips to the Archery range lately that my wife is starting to show interest in shooting as well so I figured it was time to get her a bow. My issue is finding one with a low enough poundage that she can draw. She is rather tall with a 28" draw so a kids bow wont work, but she can only draw around 35# right now.
Ive been looking at a Bear Quest because it has 50# of adjustment but id rather not spend $400 on a bow set up that she may get bored with in a month or two. Basically I need a fullsized bow with lots of adjustment for dirt cheap. She wont be hunting, just target practice
Any ideas? Ebay hasnt turned up much....

PSE has some awesome packages out. I own a new bow Madness XS, 50-60 but I put a lot into it getting ready to hunt. The packages they sell are really good. Easy draw, smooth and rather light on the pocket book.
