If you were going to get something like that I would get the genisis pro because it has an adjustable stop. However for the same money you could get the Alpine Micro or one of the brownings and they would be a better bow for what you want to do. The genisis is a great bow, but was designed more for clubs or groups of young archers. Sort of like a high tech recurve. Something you can shoot and hand to another person and they can shoot it.

If your wife is for real about wanting to shoot you should get her a dedicated bow that can be set up to her specs and will have enough power to at least target shoot. Not that the genisis doesn't, but it's max will equal the lowest setting on one of the other bows. If you had two or three kids and they all wanted to shoot I would say get the genisis, other wise it wouldn't be my first pick. It was one of the options when my girlfriend was looking at bows and we ruled it out pretty quick.

Best bang for the buck is the Rintec by hoyt in my opinion. My girl is getting antsy to go get hers, but she is just going to have to wait until Friday.

Oh, I misunderstood...I thought you were looking to trade (I was gonna ask you what kind of bow?)!

I have 2 daughters (15 & 30) I have outfitted with the Fred Bear Sparrowhawk lls. Around $200 each from Cabela's.You mentioned cost.
They love them. Adjusts to 45#s which is fine for both of them & plenty for Whitetail. Neither could handle much more pulling weight.
They shoot Easton Aluminum 2018 Arrows, 3 blade Rocky Mountain 125gr. Broadheads & release.I will be taking them on a off season hog hunt in the future& this is one of the toughest animals you can encounter with a bow.This is my 5oth year in Bowhunting & am confident they will do fine on the hogs with this set up. Good Luck in whatever you choose.

I just got a Martin Saber it was about $350 for just the bow and it comes in a #50 draw. I'm about 5'6 and pull back 54#. I looked at the Hoyt Selena but in the end went with the Martin.
