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 
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?

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.
