If you want to stick with the Mathews line and money is an issue then look into the Mathews Mission line of bows

Well, I *think* the Ignition is $350, Mustang $550. I would even consider a Switchback. The only models that I KNOW is clearly out of reach financially is the Prestige ($1000) and the Drenalin. But I'll definitely look at the Missions as well.

My girl is shooting a Parker Challenger. Nice little rig. But, like you, she is about to get an upgrade.

Parker is making a bow for Bass Pro Shops that they call the Micro XSC. Comes in a variety of draws and poundage options. I shot the bow myself, and was pretty impressed when at 26" and 50#it chucked a 415gr ACC at 215fps. Bow is quiet, pretty fast, and very smooth. Price tag is around $430.

Have also been looking at the Mathews Mustang, but haven't gotten a chance to shoot one yet. Dealer buddy of mine is trying to point her at a Trykon Sport, or whatever the smaller Hoyt is named. All good stuff.

I tell ya...the more I read about the BowTech EQ I wish I would have gotten it. My DL is 27.5. The EQ maxes out at 27.5 and at 60lbs is getting 300fps or faster. Wonder why they don't have a 70lb limb option. How much faster do you think it would bump the speed?

if the diamond edge will fit you that would be a great bow. I got a rascal for my son last year and it is fantastic.

The equalizer is a great bow too. It is VERY fast for a short draw archer.
